Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry S Popsicles
Main Ingredients:
2 ½ cups (590 milliliters) Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
1 ½ cups (225 grams) fresh or frozen blueberries
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) honey (or to taste)
1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) lemon juice (optional but delicious!)
Liquid:
3–4 tablespoons (45–60 milliliters) milk
Instructions
Gently warm blueberries and honey in a small saucepan, allowing the fruits to soften and release their vibrant purple juices over medium heat for approximately 4-5 minutes.
Crush the softened blueberries using a fork, creating a rustic compote, and let the mixture cool completely to room temperature.
In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine yogurt, tangy lemon juice, and smooth milk, whisking until the texture becomes uniform and silky.
Introduce the cooled blueberry mixture into the yogurt base, using a light folding technique to create elegant marbled streaks of deep purple throughout the creamy white background.
Carefully transfer the swirled mixture into popsicle molds, ensuring even distribution and leaving a small space at the top for expansion during freezing.
Insert popsicle sticks into each mold, then seal with the mold’s cover to prevent crystallization and maintain a smooth texture.
Place the molds in the freezer, allowing them to solidify for a minimum of 3 hours or ideally overnight for optimal consistency.
When ready to serve, briefly run the exterior of the molds under warm water to gently release the frozen treats, ensuring they slide out smoothly without breaking.
