Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh for these yogurt pops?

Yes. Frozen fruit thawed at room temperature and drained of excess liquid can be substituted for fresh fruit in exactly the same quantities. The flavor of frozen fruit is generally slightly less vibrant than peak-season fresh fruit but produces equally beautiful and equally delicious yogurt pops. Do not use frozen fruit that has not been thawed as it may not blend as smoothly.

Why do I need to wait before inserting the popsicle sticks?

The blended yogurt mixture is fully liquid when poured into the molds and will not hold a popsicle stick upright in its liquid state. After 1 hour of freezing the mixture has firmed sufficiently to grip and hold the stick in a perfectly vertical position throughout the remaining 4 to 5 hours of complete freezing. Inserting the stick before this partial freeze results in a tilted or submerged stick.

Can I make these yogurt pops without a popsicle mold?

Yes. Standard reusable silicone baking cups or muffin tin liners placed in a muffin tin work beautifully as popsicle molds. Small paper cups peeled away after freezing are equally effective. Any vessel that is freezer-safe and flexible enough to unmold the frozen pop cleanly works perfectly for this recipe.
