Frequently Asked Questions
Why drain the yogurt before using it in the popsicles?
The excerpt notes that if the yogurt is watery you should drain it in cheesecloth overnight — excess water in the yogurt causes the popsicles to freeze up icy rather than creamy. Using fresh (not thin or watery) yogurt, or draining it first, keeps the texture smooth.
Why are the kiwi pieces frozen before blending?
Step 1 calls for peeling, chopping, and freezing the kiwi for two hours before blending only half of them with the yogurt and sugar. Pre-freezing helps chill the mixture and contributes to a firmer popsicle set, while the other half of the chopped kiwi is left as whole pieces for texture.
