The perfect Summer yogurt popsicle, these strawberry yogurt popsicles combine fresh strawberry puree with yogurt, a touch of cream and shortcake cookie pieces!
These strawberry shortcake inspired yogurt popsicles are the perfect after-dinner, warm weather popsicle. It’s a refreshing dessert on a stick!
For these ones, fresh strawberry puree combines with yogurt, a bit of sweetened condensed milk and a touch of cream. For the “shortcake” part, crushed shortcake cookies are folded into the mix, as well as sprinkled on the bottoms.
While this is a creamy pop, it’s not overly rich. The taste of the fresh strawberries is front and centre, with just enough creaminess and cookies to make it a lovely treat.
A Few Notes
- For the cookies, just browse the cookie aisle at the grocery store. You will probably find cookies called “Shortcake” cookies. I found both a name brand (PF and a store-brand of shortcake cookies on the shelves here.
- While it’s easiest to blend all this up in a blender or food processor, you don’t really need either. Just a fork to mash the berries and then a bowl and a whisk will work.
- Be sure to leave room at the top as you are filling for the cookie crumb layer.

Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberry puree, from about 8-10 strawberries
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt, or plain yogurt + 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 7 Tablespoons (m) whipping cream, whisked to soft peaks
- 6 shortcake cookies, crushed (about 3/4 cup)
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, blend hulled strawberries to a rough puree (doesn’t need to be completely smooth). Remove from blender and measure out 1 cup. Return the 1 cup of puree to the food processor. Add the yogurt and sweetened condensed milk and blend until combined. Remove to a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk the whipping cream until it thickens to soft peaks. Fold into strawberry mixture. Add 1/2 cup of the crushed cookies to the mixture and fold in to combine.
- Fill 10 popsicle molds with mixture, leaving about 3/4 inch of headroom. Sprinkle remaining crushed cookies on top. Add sticks and freeze until solid. (You may have a bit of mixture left. Pour into a cup and freeze, if you like)
