Your freezer does so much more than keeping items at the perfect temperature. The frosty spot also magically transforms basic ingredients into delicious treats that are ready to eat anytime of day. It's kind of amazing how a short visit to the freezer can transform even the most basic of items — like milk. With such a delicate flavor that's elevated with additions like vanilla, honey, or chopped almonds, these milk pops come together in seconds.
On the day I made my first batch of ice pops, I thought a touch of crunch would pair well with the smooth milk, so I finished mine with a sprinkling of puffed rice cereal. Whipping the milk with a touch of honey and a handful of slivered almonds created a unique layering that made them look so good. You might find yourself reaching for one straight from the freezer first thing in the morning — and that's OK.

Notes
You can adjust the ingredients with whatever flavor combinations you're craving. Just use the same base of milk and yogurt then swap in chocolate syrup or even caramel sauce for the honey and fresh fruit or other types of nuts in place of the sliced almonds.

1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
