These creamy pops are like a smoothie on a stick. The spark of lemon, tart yogurt, and hit of vanilla give these gems a bit of an edge over your standard fruity, icy treats.
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, agave nectar, 1/2 cup water, the vanilla bean, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Set the pan over medium-high heat and stir gently until the mixture comes to a full boil. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool. Pull the vanilla pod from the pan. Using the back of a knife, scrape any remaining vanilla seeds into the pan, and discard the pod.
2. Pour the raspberry mixture into a blender or the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Puree until smooth. Add the yogurt and process until well-blended. Transfer the mixture to a large spouted measuring cup for easy pouring, and pour into popsicle molds. Freeze until firm.
