Lemon Pie Popsicles - an easy recipe made with Greek yogurt! Full of lemon flavor and a shortbread crust!

Ingredients:
2 c. nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt (regular yogurt may be substituted)
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 c. granulated sugar 
1/4 tsp. pure lemon extract
2-3 drops yellow food coloring
2-3 shortbread cookies, crushed (can use Nilla wafers or Golden Oreos otherwise)

Directions:
Stir yogurt, lemon juice, sugar, extract and food coloring in a medium bowl using a spatula or wooden spoon. 

Scoop equal amounts of lemon mixture into paper dixie cups or popsicle molds (fill about 2/3 full).  This should fill about 8 cups.

Sprinkle about 2 tsp. cookie crumbs on top of the yogurt mixture.  Use a toothpick or popsicle stick to stir gently.  Pack the rest of the crumbs on top.

Insert sticks or colorful straws.  Freeze for at least 4 hour or overnight.  It is easier to freeze them if they are sitting on a cookie sheet.  Remove paper or popsicles from the molds.
