Beat the heat with these creamy Lemon Curd and Raspberry Popsicles! This healthy frozen treat tastes just like lemon ice cream, but is made with Greek yogurt, fresh or frozen raspberries and sugar-free homemade lemon curd!
Oh, lemon curd! If I was as good as my husband to create random songs about random stuff, I would definitely be singing my love for lemon curd right now. I love this stuff!
Anything with lemon curd and... I AM IN! So naturally, these healthy lemon curd raspberry popsicles are my new favorite thing.
Yes, even in the middle of winter. It doesn't matter. When something is really, really good; it's really, really good all year round. Period.
Last month, I made a lemon and raspberry polenta bread that I was planning to share with you but after a few trials, I couldn't get the texture just right so down to the intraweb dungeon it went. However, the taste was pretty amazing.
Have you ever had a lemon+raspberry thing? It works SO well together, especially in these skinny raspberry popsicles!
Now, usually, lemon curd is not something I would file under the "skinny" category because hello, sugar!
However, as we are making the lemon curd from scratch- yes, yes we are - we can control what goes in it, which is not too much sugar.
Zero refined sugar actually. Just honey, or your favorite sweetener. How good is that?!
My skinny lemon curd raspberry popsicles were waiting in the freezer to be photographed the next day and I seriously had a hard time controlling myself and not eat one for dessert. They are so good!
Creamy, sweet and tangy at the same time. The perfect healthy frozen treat! Big love <3 Enjoy!

Skinny Lemon Curd and Raspberry Popsicles
Beat the heat with these creamy Lemon Curd and Raspberry Popsicles! This healthy frozen treat tastes just like lemon ice cream, but is made with Greek yogurt, fresh or frozen raspberries and sugar-free homemade lemon curd!
Ingredients
Lemon curd (see notes)
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- ⅓ cup honey you can also use rice malt syrup
- ½ cup lemon juice from fresh lemons (about 3 lemons)
- the zest of 2 lemons make sure the zest is very thin - see notes
- a pinch of salt
- ⅓ cup coconut oil melted (you can also use grass-fed butter)
Other ingredients
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup raspberries I used frozen raspberries
- honey rice malt syrup, agave or your favorite sweetener - optional
Instructions
For the lemon curd:
-
In a small pot, whisk together whole eggs, egg yolks, honey, lemon juice, zest and a pinch of salt. Add coconut oil and turn on the heat on medium-low. Cook, whisking constantly, until curd thickens, about 5 minutes. Strain curd through a sieve and pour into a large bowl. Let cool slightly.
-
In the same bowl, add Greek yogurt and mix well to combine. At this point, taste the mixture and add sweetener, to your liking (It's optional - I didn't add any). Gently fold in the raspberries.
-
Using a spoon, fill popsicle molds (I used THIS BRAND) with the mixture. Stick a popsicle stick in the middle of each mold and freeze until solid (about 3 hours).
Recipe Notes
You can also use store-bought lemon curd but keep in mind that the nutrition facts will be significantly different and the popsicles will be much sweeter. You will need to use about 1 cup + ¼ cup.
To zest lemons, I simply peel the skin with vegetable peeler then blend it using my personal blender that I love. Quick and easy! You can also use this great zester.

You are the second Aussie blogger who I have seen posting popsicle recipes this weekend. Must be a sign that we are almost out of the cold and some warmer weather is in sight? Please??? Surely??? It is so cold over here in WA, I had to scrape ice off my car the other morning!
But these make summer seem closer. I can just see myself, sitting on the alfresco eating one of these and trying to get my daughter to lick hers before it melts every where.
I have recently started a food sharing site, photo site. Similar to the likes of foodgawker and tastespotting, only no where near at their scale!!!! We all have to start somewhere, I guess.
I would love to have you contribute your photos. I love food and I love food blogs, my sister, and a couple of friends have blogs and I know how hard they works and how despondent my sister is when something doesn’t make it onto the big sites. So I started Delishogram for all the food bloggers with amazing food. I want it to be a site that just celebrates food and cooking.
I would love to have you contribute, please think about popping over.
Have a great weekend.

I love making lemon curd at home and your version with honey and coconut oil sounds so delicious! It needs to be tried. And I agree, these popsicles would be a great sweet snack all year round!
