Pop to it!

We kept our recipes easy: no fancy layers or swirls, just a few fresh ingredients blended with a modest amount of sugar. If you don't have molds, pour the mixture into 3-ounce paper cups, cover them with heavy-duty foil (or a double layer of foil), then insert wooden sticks and freeze. ear off the paper and foil, then slurp away.Ā Click or tap ahead for recipes.

Yogurt Tangerine Pops

This is like those orange-cream pops you remember, but all grown up. A generous dose of clementine zest gives the mixture a pleasant, bitter edge, while yogurt lends tang.Ā

A rich vanilla custard base makes this recipe a bit more complicated than a typical fruit pop--but barely. It's so worth it.
