About this recipe
Yoghurt and fruit popsicles Thermomix TM7 are the ultimate healthy frozen snack, blending creamy Greek style yoghurt with tropical mango, sweet banana and crunchy meringue pieces. Searching for easy popsicle recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine ends here: the TM7 turns fresh fruit into a silky puree in seconds, so the mixture is ready for the moulds before the freezer door even closes. What makes this dessert work so well is the contrast between the tangy yoghurt base and the caramel sweetness of crushed meringue, which stays pleasantly crisp inside the frozen layers. These homemade fruit popsicles suit children's parties, summer barbecues and lunchbox treats, and they contain no artificial colourings or preservatives. As a quick snack or light dessert, they prove that your Thermomix TM7 deserves a place in summer cooking as much as in winter soups.
Preparation tips
- Use very ripe banana and mango for the popsicles, as their natural sweetness means you need no added sugar; the riper the fruit, the creamier and more flavourful the frozen result will be.
- Fill the moulds only three-quarters full with the yoghurt and mango mixture, because the mixture expands slightly when freezing; tap the moulds gently on the worktop to release air bubbles before inserting the sticks.
- Crush the meringue just before filling the moulds and fold it through the yoghurt mixture rather than blending it, so the pieces stay crunchy; substitute granola for a meringue-free version children also love.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free variation: replace the Greek style yoghurt with a plant-based coconut or soy yoghurt alternative; the mango and banana provide enough creaminess, and the meringue can be swapped for toasted oats to keep a crunchy element.
- Festive berry variation: swap the mango for a mix of strawberries and raspberries and add a few drops of vanilla; the pink layers look beautiful on a birthday table and pair wonderfully with the crushed meringue.
