1

Rinse the camu camu and place in a container. Add boiling water and let sit for 20 minutes until it cools.
2

Crush the berries by hand to squeeze out as much pulp as possible and remove the seeds. Mix it in a blender with lemon juice and sugar to taste. Store in the fridge.
3

Prepare 8 popsicle molds and sticks.
4

Pour a bit of the camu camu juice in each mold and place in the fridge. When firm, add the same amount of yogurt and cool again. Before it hardens completely, insert a popsicle stick in the center.
5

Repeat to form layers with the juice and the yogurt. Leave in the freezer overnight or for a couple of days—although I doubt they’ll last that long, they’re that delicious!
6

To unmold, place the molds in warm water and squeeze to loosen the pops. Serve immediately.

Expert Tips

You can replace camu camu with red prickly pears. Mix with water, lemon juice and sugar. Strain to remove the seeds.
