Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- ¼ to ⅓ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Flavoring Ingredient:
- ½ lemon (for juice)
Instructions
- Combine fresh blueberries, lemon juice, yogurt, and honey in a high-powered blender, creating a vibrant, smooth puree with a silky texture.
- Carefully transfer the liquid mixture into popsicle molds, ensuring a small gap remains at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Place the molds in the freezer for approximately one hour, allowing the mixture to partially set and become slightly firm.
- After the initial chilling, insert popsicle sticks into the partially frozen mixture, making certain they stand upright with about an inch and a quarter exposed.
- Return the molds to the freezer and allow them to solidify completely for an additional 4-6 hours or ideally overnight.
- When ready to serve, briefly run the exterior of the molds under warm water for a few seconds to help release the popsicles easily.
- Gently wiggle and pull the popsicle sticks to remove the frozen treats, ensuring they maintain their shape and integrity.
Notes
- Blend fresh blueberries and tangy lemon for a vibrant, refreshing summer treat that bursts with natural sweetness.
- Leave a small space at the top of each mold to allow for expansion during freezing, preventing overflow.
- Insert popsicle sticks after the first hour of freezing to ensure they stay perfectly centered and upright.
- Use warm water to easily release popsicles from the mold without damaging their shape or texture.
- Overnight freezing creates the most solid and perfectly formed popsicle structure.
- Store extra popsicles in the freezer in a sealed container for up to two weeks to enjoy anytime.
