These refreshing frozen treats reminded me a bit of key lime cheesecake which surprised me having used just a regular lime and one lemon. I added only three tablespoons of a local wildflower honey which was the perfect amount. The resulting pops were light and not overly sweet, yet they weren't too sour or too tangy either.
1 cup milk (I used 1%)
6 oz neufchâtel or cream cheese
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Place the milk, cheese, yogurt, honey, zest and juice into a blender. Process until smooth. Taste. Add more honey, if desired.
Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for several hours, (preferably overnight) or until they are frozen solid.

What a fabulous way to beat the heat!! I LOVE that these are so flavorful and full of citrus zest - delicious!
