Greek Yogurt Popsicles with Prickly Pear, Passion Fruit & Tahini Shell

Yogurt
Prickly pear and passion fruit are both tart and floral on their own, and together with Greek yogurt and kefir, they make a creamy, nutritious frozen treat that's as satisfying as it is refreshing.
Greek yogurt brings protein and may also contain live cultures; kefir adds tangy depth; and the combination keeps these popsicles creamy rather than icy. The tahini shell hardens on contact with the frozen popsicle, adding a thin, nutty crunch that pairs well with the fruity filling. A pinch of sumac on top brings a citrusy finish. Ten minutes of prep, a few hours in the freezer, and they're ready.
Watch the video above to see the full process from blending the prickly pear mixture to dipping the frozen popsicles in the tahini shell, including how to get a clean second coat before adding the sumac.
