Summer’s sweetest gifts are small and colorful, juicy and nourishing, plentiful and versatile. Berries are a true treat, whether popped in your mouth fresh, baked into a cobbler or swirled into a fun, frozen dessert like these simple-yet-elegant ice pops. Layered with honey- and vanilla-infused yogurt and a tasty trio of fruit, they’re the perfect way to enjoy a berry harvest—and to take a break from the season’s heat!
