Salted Caramel Yogurt Popsicles

This Salted Caramel Yogurt Popsicles recipe includes salted caramel and Greek yogurt with crunchy maple walnuts. Creamy popsicles may not be the standard, but they're perfect for a little indulgence!

Ingredients and substitutions for Salted Caramel Yogurt Popsicles

• Greek yogurt: Thick plain tart Greek yogurt is best here, though you can replace with plain regular yogurt. Creme fraiche or sour cream would also work well as a replacement in equal measure as you do want something that isn't too sweet to balance out the caramel and maple walnuts.
• Heavy Cream: The heavy cream makes for a nice controllable whipped cream gives our no churn iced dessert it’s signature texture. I have not tried making this with coconut whipped cream, so cannot recommend.
• Maple syrup: Pure maple syrup is the best thing to use here for its complimentary flavor to the walnuts. You could replace with honey in equal measure here.
• Dulce de leche: Store bough thick caramel dulce de leche is ideal here, though if you cannot source, a thick caramel sauce would work as an ideal replacement.
• Walnuts: A nice light nuttiness comes from the walnuts, though you could replace with pecans as they would work beautifully in these popsicles.
