3tablespoonsfresh lemon juice
1/2cupgranulated sugaryou can also use a sweetener, but you’ll need less
1/4teaspoonMcCormick pure lemon extract
2-3drops McCormick yellow food coloring
2-3shortbread cookiescrushed (or use Nilla Wafers or Golden Oreos)
Instructions
Stir yogurt, lemon juice, sugar, extract, and food coloring in a medium bowl using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop equal amounts of lemon mixture into paper dixie cups or popsicle molds. Mine filled 8 dixie cups about 2/3 full.
Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of cookie crumbs on top of the yogurt mixture. Use a toothpick or popsicle stick to stir gently. Pack what crumbs are left on top.
Insert sticks or colorful straws. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. (It’s easiest to freeze the dixie cups if they’re sitting on a cookie sheet.) Remove paper or remove popsicles from molds and enjoy!
