Strawberry-Kiwi Yogurt Freezer Pops

These are so cute and colorful! The kiwi in the bottom of the cup not only adds more fruit and color to the freezer pop, it also holds the stick in place.

I took the advice about the texture of the granulated sugar. I used demarrera sugar with the lemon juice at the end. I love this cake. Thank you for the recipe. - 2/11/14

Would this taste better if you used confectioner sugar and lemon juice for the top instead of regular sugar? - 10/20/10

The granulated sugar creates a slightly crunchy layer on top that adds a tiny bit of texture. I'm sure confectioner's sugar would taste the same but not create the layer on top.

When and what do you do with the zest of lemon? It's in the list of ingredients but not mentioned in the instructions... - 6/21/11
