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.

- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for maximum natural sweetness and most intense berry flavor profile.
