A Lighter Easter Treat? Yes, Please!
These frozen yoghurt Lollies, aka popsicles if you’re from across the pond, are bright, fruity, and refreshing little treats you can feel good about, and they’re just as festive (especially if you get creative with toppings and moulds).
They also happen to be perfect for little hands to help make – whisking, blending, pouring, and decorating is an incredibly fun and creative experience the kids will love getting involved in.
Who says Easter can’t be a little healthier and fun?
And don’t worry – if you do want to add a little chocolate magic, we’ll show you how to make these egg-stra Easter special too.
Plant-Based & Dairy-Free Friendly – Everyone’s Invited!
One of the best things about frozen yoghurt lollies is how easy they are to adapt for all kinds of dietary needs. Whether you’re dairy-free, vegan, or simply mixing things up, there are so many tasty alternatives out there now that still deliver that creamy, dreamy texture we all love.
Swap traditional Greek yoghurt for a coconut, almond, oat, or soy-based yoghurt – all readily available in plain or subtly flavoured options. These make for a fantastic base and pair beautifully with fruits, spices, or even a touch of citrus zest.
Looking to sweeten things up? Use maple syrup, agave, or blended ripe banana instead of honey to keep things vegan.
And the best part? These plant-based alternatives still freeze beautifully and offer the same refreshing bite, making them just as fun, delicious, and Easter-worthy!

Easter Toppings for your Frozen Yoghurt Lollies – Dips, Drizzles & More!
Now the fun bit! These lollies are delicious as-is, but if you want to turn them into full-on festive showstoppers, here are some ideas:
Dips & Drizzles:
- Melted dark, milk, or white chocolate – dip half the lolly for a “chocolate shell”
- Vegan-friendly chocolate (look for brands using coconut or rice milk)
- Strawberry purée swirl with pastel sprinkles
- A drizzle of Biscoff spread or salted caramel (yes please!)
Coatings & Crunch:
- Crushed mini eggs or freeze-dried raspberries for colour and crunch
- Toasted coconut flakes or chopped roasted nuts
- Edible flowers for springtime elegance
- Crumbled granola or biscuit bits for a cheesecake-inspired twist
Egg-stra Special Tip:
Use Easter egg moulds (halves) instead of regular lolly moulds for a chocolate-covered yoghurt surprise!
