🛒 Ingredients for Ombre Popsicles (Strawberry, Mango & Blueberry)

You can mix and match layers, but here’s a 3-color ombre idea:

Layer 1 (Light):
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- Optional: 1 tbsp coconut milk for smoother blending
Layer 2 (Medium):
- ½ cup mango puree or peaches
- 1–2 tbsp coconut water or juice
- Optional: squeeze of lemon for brightness
Layer 3 (Dark):
- ½ cup blueberry puree or blackberries
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or agave (if berries are tart)

🥣 How to Make Ombre Popsicles – Step-by-Step

Step 1: Prepare the layers

Blend each fruit (or yogurt) layer separately. Each should be slightly pourable but thick enough not to immediately mix.

Step 2: Layer slowly

Pour the lightest color first into your popsicle mold. Freeze for 15–20 minutes so it slightly sets.

Add the middle layer, then freeze again briefly.
Finally, add the darkest layer, insert sticks, and freeze fully (4–6 hours).

Step 3: Unmold and enjoy

Run the molds under warm water to release. Admire those ombré layers before devouring!

💡 Tips for Perfect Ombre Popsicles | Ice Pop Layering Hacks

Use thick purées or chilled mixtures to slow blending between layers.
Tilt the mold slightly while pouring to get a diagonal ombré effect.
Avoid overfilling – leave a little space for the stick and expansion.
Use popsicle molds with clear sides for the best visual pop!
