FroYo (Frozen Yogurt) Popsicles

I love making frozen yogurt, "Pinkberry" style in the summer. I first started messing around with various recipes back in 2007 when I first started this blog. I've had a lot of success with the following recipe:

2 1/2 cups 2% fat Trader Joe's Greek style yogurt
1/3 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine all ingredients and stir until everything is well mixed. Freeze in a commercial ice cream maker (you know I love my Lello Gelato Pro) for about 30 minutes.

The resulting yogurt tastes great out of the ice cream maker and taste really good with various fruit toppings. Unfortunately, due to the yogurt's low fat content, it does not freeze well. It becomes pretty hard - which means pretty unscoopable if you want some later.

So, what's a girl to do with her leftover yogurt? I could eat it all.

Or, I can put them in popsicle makers, mix it any fruit topping that may be leftover, and voila! Frozen Yogurt Popsicle!
They were really good. :)
