How To Make Roasted Berry Yogurt Popsicles
Bake the Berries. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) or 170°C (340°F) for fan-assisted ovens. Spread the mixed berries on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes until they start to caramelize.
Mash the Berries. Once roasted, place the berries in a bowl and gently mash, leaving some texture.
Mix the Yogurt. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, vanilla extract, lime zest, and lime juice. Stir until smooth.
Layer the Popsicles. Divide half of the mashed berry mixture into 8 popsicle molds. Pour the yogurt mixture over the berries, then top with the remaining berry mixture.
Freeze the Popsicles. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for 3-4 hours, or until fully solid. Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds and enjoy!
Tips for Best Roasted Berry Yogurt Popsicles
- Use Fresh Berries When Possible. Fresh berries roast better and have a richer flavor, but frozen berries work too—just thaw them first.
- Don’t Skip Roasting the Berries. Roasting enhances the sweetness of the berries and intensifies their flavor, even without any added sweeteners.
- Use Full-Fat Yogurt. For the creamiest texture, use full-fat yogurt or coconut cream if you’re going dairy-free. Low-fat options can result in icier popsicles.
- Stir the Mixture Before Freezing. To ensure even distribution of the flavors, give the yogurt mixture a quick stir before pouring it into the molds.
- Make It Sweeter if You Like. If you prefer a sweeter popsicle, feel free to add a little keto-friendly sweetener like allulose, stevia or erythritol.
Storage Instructions
These popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To prevent freezer burn, keep them in an airtight container or wrap each popsicle individually in plastic wrap. When ready to enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving.

How incredible! Roasting the berries boosting their natural sweetness is a fantastic idea. Paired with the creamy yogurt, the flavour combo is just perfect!
Always a keeper! Strawberries are the BEST though – maybe it’s just me 🙂
Hi Martina! Just tried making these popsicles and I’ve got to say they are absolutely delightful 😊
Thank you! 🙂
OMG, Martina, just made these yesterday, and they turned out perfect! Going without added sugar while roasting berries made these just sweet enough. Plus, the mix of creamy yogurt with a touch of lime is so refreshing. I think I’ll be enjoying these well past summer!
Thank you! So happy you enjoyed these! ❤️
I just made these and they turned out fantastic! Martina, do you think Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt is best for keeping it super creamy? 😊
Either are good, it depends if you like the taste of coconut yogurt and it will also depend on the brand. I like what used to be previously “Coyo”, I think they rebranded to “Cocos”. The vanilla one is really good and has no sweeteners.
Martina, these popsicles are just perfect! The roasted berries blend so nicely with the lime and yogurt ❤️
❤️
Loved these yogurt popsicles, Martina! I had some berries that needed to be used today so I made these as they popped up on my Facebook. Can’t believe how quick and simple they were to put together! ❤️
These are perfect for berries that are close to expiration. Well done!
Tried this recipe and was blown away by the flavor! Do you recommend any specific brand for the yogurt?
Glad you enjoyed! Yes, I love Fage because it’s so thick and creamy but you can use any 5-10% yogurt.
Martina, I just adore the combination of roasted berries with the creamy yogurt, it sounds like a real treat on a warm day. Do you think orange juice instead of lime would keep it keto?
It would! You can use a small amount of fresh orange juice if you want, I think it would pair well with berries, especially if you also use orange zest. Make sure to use organic oranges though, you don’t want to be eating any pesticides.
Awesome recipe! I love your minimalist approach with just a few simple ingredients. This is REAL KETO!
Thank you! 🙂
I think this was okay but I’ll stick with cream. I think it makes much creamier popsicles. You’ll love it if you love frozen yogurt though!
You could try coconut yogurt like Cocos, it’s very creamy and has a higher fat content. The vanilla one would be oh so good!
These were good! My three year old adored them! Just curious, can you use mixed frozen berries too or would they not bake well?
Fresh are best but frozen will be fine too. I’m glad you little one enjoyed these!
Sounds interesting and simple enough! Do you have a favorite yogurt brand for this?
Yes, I love Cocos (previously Coyo). They have unflavored as well as vanilla and fruit options. There’s no sugar although some contain fruit so check out the carb count. The vanilla one is my favorite option.
These popsicles are to-die-for! Making them again with Skyr.
Thank you! Skyr is a great option if you want to make these higher protein/lower fat.
Simple and delicious, will be making again!
Thank you! 🙂
I liked this with mixed berries but it was a bit tart. Roasted strawberries are the BEST! No sweetener needed 🙂 Love this recipe.
Agreed! 🙂
Just made these popsicles and they were incredibly refreshing! Might add some more lime juice next, just because… 🙂
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Yum! Roasting the berries really made a difference, I can confirm that! A bit of cinnamon and vanilla…. perfection
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed!
