This Salted Caramel Yogurt Popsicles recipe includes tart Greek yogurt with swirls of store bought caramel and homemade maple walnuts for sweet and creamy popsicles.
Place the walnuts in a small saucepan on low heat, stirring until golden for approximately 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and pour the maple syrup over the walnuts, stirring to coat.
Drizzle over the salt and stir to evenly combine. Set aside.
Meanwhile, place the yogurt and cream in a bowl and stir to combine until smooth.
Add the dulce de leche and stir to evenly swirl through the yogurt mixture.
Spoon a heaped spoonful of the creamy caramel into your popsicle molds and sprinkle over some of the maple walnuts.
Repeat layering until complete and tap your molds to ensure there are no air bubbles.
Push your popsicle sticks into the center of each and place in the freezer for a minimum 4 hours.
Remove from the freezer and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes until they slide out.
Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
Notes
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.
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.
