Makes approx 12 Popsicles
- 500 milliliters Root Beer (diet or regular)
- 2.5 cups Vanilla Yogurt (low fat works well)
- 10-14 Dixie Cups
- 10 Wooden popsicle or craft sticks
Snip the top edge of Dixie cup with scissors for easy peeling. Place Dixie cups on a baking tray.
Mix about 1/4-1/2 cup root beer (to taste) with 1
1/4 cup yogurt. Add enough root beer to add a hint of flavor to the
yogurt. Divide this mixture between the cups, filling 1/3 the way up
each cup. Freeze for two hours or until mixture starts to solidify
enough to hold a Popsicle stick upright. (insert Popsicle stick into
each cup). Continue to freeze until mixture is completely frozen.
Now pour root beer into the cups, leaving the
top 1/3 of the cup empty. Continue to freeze until the root beer is
completely frozen.
Make the same mixture as in step 2, and top off
the cups with the yogurt mixture. Again, place and freezer until the
Popsicles are completely frozen.
If you want to serve a bunch at the same time,
pop a metal serving plate or cake stand into the freezer for at least an
hour. Remove from freezer and cover with a layer of ice, and place
Popsicles on the ice to slow the melting process. This works well for
backyard parties (looks pretty too).
