Why it works: Peach and yogurt match in chemistry and in kitchens. They rank in the top 4% of all ingredient pairs, and 195 recipes mention both. Both carry ethyl octanoate, which smells fruity. The science ↓
The recipe
Serves 10Ingredients
Contains: milk, tree nuts (auto-detected from the ingredients and method; we can miss things, so check labels)
Directions
Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.
Put the chopped peaches, lemon juice, coconut milk or almond milk, Greek yogurt, and agave or honey into a blender.
Blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides once if needed.
Pour the mixture into 10 popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
Place the lids on the molds and insert a popsicle stick into each one.
Freeze upright for at least 4 hours [240 minutes] until the popsicles are firm.
To unmold, run the outside of each mold under warm water for a few seconds, then gently pull the popsicles out.

Fit is the average pairing score against peach, coconut, yogurt, agave. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
