Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Mixture
- 2 cups blueberries
- 5 tablespoons water
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
Yogurt Mixture
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Cook Blueberries: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, 5 tablespoons of water, and the sugar. Heat over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until the berries burst and sugar dissolves, forming a saucy mixture.
- Cool Blueberries: Remove from heat and allow the blueberry mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Prepare Yogurt Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of water. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Assemble Popsicles: Alternate spooning layers of the yogurt mixture and blueberry mixture into popsicle molds. Use a chopstick to swirl the layers inside each mold for a marbled effect.
- Freeze: Insert popsicle sticks according to manufacturer’s instructions and freeze for 4 to 8 hours until fully solid.
- Remove Popsicles: To unmold, fill a vessel larger than the molds with warm water so it reaches about halfway up the molds. Dip the molds in the water for 10-20 seconds, then gently pull out the popsicles.
- Storage: Wrap each popsicle individually in cellophane or parchment paper and keep frozen to store for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and added protein.
- If fresh blueberries are not available, frozen berries can be used; thaw before cooking.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sugar and honey according to taste.
- Swirling creates an attractive marbled appearance but can be omitted if preferred.
- Ensure popsicles are fully frozen before unmolding to maintain shape.
