I absolutely love making my own ice creams in summer, and these Strawberry Magnum Ice Creams are hands down one of my all-time favorites. They’re creamy, indulgent, with a fruity strawberry center and a crunchy white chocolate shell. Honestly, once you’ve tried these, there’s just no going back to the store-bought ones!

Summer Treats

When the weather heats up, nothing hits the spot quite like homemade ice cream. This strawberry yogurt Magnum-style ice cream bar is creamy, fruity, and refreshing—all without the need for an ice cream machine. It’s the perfect frozen treat to make ahead, stash in the freezer, and grab whenever you need something cold and sweet.

This recipe came to life on a day when my sweet tooth was loud but my fridge was nearly empty. I had fresh strawberries, some yogurt, and a bar of chocolate waiting to be used. Instead of heading to the store, I thought: why not try making my own frozen bars, just like Magnums? It was one of those experiments that paid off. Now, I keep a batch of these strawberry yogurt Magnums in the freezer all summer long—they’re healthier than store-bought, easy to make, and just as indulgent.

My Teething Baby, My Ice Cream

So here’s the real reason I started making this ice cream: my baby. He’s seven months old now and teething like crazy red cheeks, drooly chin, and chewing on anything he can grab. Poor thing just needed something cold to soothe those little gums.

Instead of buying those store-bought baby pops, I thought, why not just make my own? I had yogurt in the fridge, strawberries on the counter, and honestly, I needed a treat too. So I made a batch—simple, fruity, and no fuss. For my baby, I skip the honey and chocolate, just yogurt blended with fresh strawberries, frozen in tiny molds. For me? Oh, I dip mine in white chocolate and sprinkle crushed strawberries on top. Because if I’m making ice cream at nap time, you’d better believe I’m making it worth it.

It’s become a little routine now: one version for his sore gums, one version for my sweet tooth. Teething might be rough, but hey, it gave me an excuse to come up with this recipe.

This recipe is simple, healthy, and baby-friendly: no artificial flavors, no refined sugar, and the creamy yogurt provides gentle probiotics to support digestion. Plus, the marble of strawberry jam adds a fun swirl that makes eating more exciting for little ones. It’s a snack that’s both nourishing and comforting during those teething days!

Equipment

• Ice Cream Mold

Ingredients  of Strawberry Yogurt Magnum

Ice Cream

• Plain Yogurt: is an excellent source of probiotics and protein. It is important to have a diverse population of good gut bugs (probiotics) to help digest and absorb food! Yogurt keeps the ice cream base light, tangy, and refreshing while balancing out the sweetness. It also adds a creamy texture without being heavy.
• Maple Syrup or Honey: Only for children over the age of one, but it can also be skipped or replaced. Just like you’ll see me saying below, improvise depending on your tastes.
• Strawberry Jam:  an excellent source of vitamin C. Vitamin C is necessary not only to help build collagen, but it is also necessary for proper iron absorption! This swirls into the yogurt mixture for bursts of fruity sweetness. It intensifies the strawberry flavor and adds a ripple of color that makes the bars look as good as they taste. It’s the best time for strawberries. Prefer organic strawberries, and remember that the riper they are, the tastier. If you don’t have time to bake them (which is the best), you can process them through the food processor

Coating

• White Chocolate: You can use dairy-free milk chocolate or dark chocolate for the coating. The signature crackly Magnum shell. White chocolate pairs perfectly with strawberries, giving a creamy sweetness that balances the tang of yogurt. It also makes the bars look striking when dipped.
• Coconut Oil: For chocolate icing. Olive oil is a good alternative.
• Dried Strawberries crushed: This is for garnish only. These are the finishing touches. Sprinkled over the still-wet chocolate, they add a pop of color, extra crunch, and concentrated strawberry flavor. They turn a simple ice cream bar into something that feels gourmet.

How to Make Strawberry Yogurt Magnum

First, mix the yogurt base.
In a medium bowl, add the plain yogurt and maple syrup (or honey). Stir them together until fully blended. This mixture is the creamy backbone of your ice cream bars—light, tangy, and naturally sweet.

Second, swirl in the jam.
Spoon in half of the strawberry jam and give it a few gentle stirs. Don’t overmix—you want streaks of jam running through the yogurt to create a marble effect. This not only looks beautiful but also adds bursts of strawberry flavor in every bite.

Third, layer into the molds.
Pour a spoonful of the yogurt mixture into each ice cream mold, filling about halfway. Then, drop a little extra strawberry jam in the center for a hidden surprise layer. Top with more yogurt mixture until the molds are full. Insert sticks, smooth the tops, and place in the freezer for at least 8 hours (overnight is even better) until completely solid.

Fourth, prepare the coating.
Once your bars are frozen, melt the white chocolate gently using a double boiler or in short microwave bursts. Stir in the coconut oil until smooth and glossy—this helps the coating set evenly and crackle just like a store-bought Magnum shell. Pour the mixture into a tall glass so dipping is easy.

Dip, decorate, and serve!

Carefully remove the ice cream bars from the molds. Working quickly (before they start to melt), dip each one into the chocolate coating. The shell will harden within seconds. While it’s still wet, sprinkle with crushed dried strawberries for a pop of color and crunch.

Finally, serve and enjoy.
You can bite into them right away for that satisfying Magnum crack, or return them to the freezer for later. Either way, you’ll have a homemade treat that’s creamy, fruity, and refreshing—perfect for hot summer days.
