Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Place the sliced peaches on the baking sheet and gently toss them with 2 tablespoons of honey and a dash of salt.

  4. Arrange the peaches in a single layer on the baking sheet.

  5. Roast the peaches in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are soft and juicy. Pay attention to the edges to avoid overcooking.

  7. Place the yogurt mixture in the refrigerator to keep it cool.

  8. Allow the roasted peaches to cool, then scrape them and their juices into the bowl of yogurt.

  10. Transfer the yogurt blend into popsicle molds using the spoon. If necessary, press the peaches down into the molds.

  11. Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least four hours.

  12. When you're ready to serve the popsicles, run warm water around the outside of the molds for about ten seconds.

  13. Gently remove the popsicles from the molds.

  14. Enjoy the popsicles immediately.
