Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole milk and Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Add the honey and the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean pod; whisk to combine thoroughly.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with more honey if desired.
- Pour the vanilla cream mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion.
- Insert the popsicle sticks and place the molds in the freezer.
- Freeze until solid, at least 5 hours or overnight, before unmolding and serving.
Tips
- Use a whole vanilla bean for the most aromatic vanilla cream pops; you can substitute 1 tsp pure vanilla extract if needed.
- For easier unmolding, briefly run warm water on the outside of the popsicle molds before pulling them out.
