Raspberry-White Grape Popsicles Recipe - The Washington Post
These two-tone pops contain a little yogurt, which boosts nutrition. Although the recipe calls for white grape-raspberry juice concentrate, I've substituted Concord grape juice frozen concentrate with good results.
See information on the Zoku popsicle maker here.

Ingredients

For the juice layer
For the yogurt mixture layer
Directions
Step 1
For the juice layer: Stir together the cold water and juice concentrate in a 1-cup liquid measuring cup with a pour spout, until well blended.
Step 2
For the yogurt layer: In a 2-cup measure with pour spout, use a small whisk or a fork to thoroughly blend the juice concentrate and yogurt in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup with a pour spout, until completely smooth. Stir in the water until incorporated.
Step 3
If making ice pops using 3-ounce plastic cups or plastic popsicle molds, pour the juice mixture into them until they are slightly more than halfway full. If using molds, add the plastic sticks as directed. If using paper cups, cover each with a small square of aluminum foil; make a slit in the center top; and insert wooden popsicle sticks into the cups. Freeze the molds or cups until the mixture is mostly frozen; depending on the freezer this may take up to 2 hours. Fill the cups or molds nearly full with the juice-yogurt mixture, leaving about 1/3-inch of headroom at the top, as the frozen pops will expand.
Step 4
Return to the freezer until frozen completely, 2 to 4 more hours, depending on the freezer. Remove the popsicles from the molds or cups by dipping their exteriors in warm water for 10 to 20 seconds, and/or flexing the cups or molds until the popsicles loosen from the sides. If necessary, loosen the pops from the sides using a table knife to break the vacuum.
Step 5
If using a Zoku pop maker, cover and refrigerate the mixtures for several hours until well chilled. Have the Zoku maker thoroughly frozen (24 hours). Insert the Zoku plastic sticks into its molds as directed. Pour the plain fruit mixture into the Zoku molds until slightly more than halfway full. When the pops are thoroughly frozen, about 4 minutes, add the second mixture just to the fill line. Let stand until the pops are completely frozen. Remove them from the molds using the orange tool as directed. Do not try to pry the pops from the molds using a knife, as the interior of the molds may be damaged. Add new plastic sticks and make a second round of pops, if desired.
Step 6
Eat the pops immediately or freeze for later use.
