Fine-mesh strainer optional, for an ultra smooth texture
4 cups fresh ripe peaches about 5 to 6 medium peaches, peeled and sliced 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt 1/3 cup honey or more to taste 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup milk whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk all work Pinch of salt
Wash, peel, and slice the peaches, removing the pits and measuring out 4 cups of chunks.
Add the peaches, yogurt, honey, lemon juice, vanilla, milk, and salt to a blender and blend until completely smooth, 30 to 60 seconds.
For an ultra smooth texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer, pressing with a spatula.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, filling each cavity about a quarter inch below the top, and tap on the counter to release air bubbles.
Insert popsicle sticks, place the mold on a flat surface in the freezer, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely solid.
Let the mold sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 minutes, run warm water over the outside, and gently pull each popsicle out by the stick.
Use the ripest peaches you can find for the best sweetness and smooth blending.
Taste the mixture before freezing and adjust honey if your peaches are on the tart side, since flavors mellow once frozen.
Tap the mold gently to release air bubbles, as large air pockets can create weak spots in the frozen popsicles.
Freeze the mold on a flat shelf so the popsicles set evenly from top to bottom.
Run warm water over the mold rather than pulling hard on the stick to avoid breakage when unmolding.
For dairy-free pops, substitute coconut yogurt or canned coconut milk for the Greek yogurt.
Make layered pops by freezing the peach mixture halfway, then adding a layer of plain yogurt on top.
Store fully frozen popsicles in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container, separated with parchment paper, for up to 2 months.
If you don't have popsicle molds, use small paper cups, cover with foil, and insert a stick through the center before freezing.
