Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1/4 cup Crown® Lily White® Corn Syrup
• 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
• 1-1/2 cups Greek style yogurt
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Combine strawberries with 2 tablespoons of corn syrup and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a blender OR food processor and puree until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
2. Combine yogurt with remaining 2 tablespoons of corn syrup and 2 tablespoons of sugar in another bowl. Add vanilla and stir until smooth.
3. Spoon mixtures into popsicle molds in alternating layers. Swirl layers using a thin knife to pull the berry mixtures up the sides creating fun designs. Add sticks and freeze until solid; about 12 hours or overnight. To unmold popsicles, run water along the sides until loosened.
