They're the kind of simple summer treat I love keeping in the freezer for warm afternoons, backyard dinners, or anytime blueberries are at their peak.
When I have extra blueberries on hand, I'm usually thinking about muffins, pie, or a quick summer dessert. But these blueberry Greek yogurt popsicles have a place all their own.
They're cool and creamy, lightly sweetened, and simple enough to make in just a few minutes before the freezer does the rest.
What I Love About These Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles
These popsicles are quick to prep, easy to customize, and make a refreshing summer snack or dessert.
I especially love the flavor of simmered blueberries folded into creamy yogurt. It makes the popsicles taste more like a blueberry dessert than a simple frozen snack.
They're also a wonderful make-ahead treat. Once frozen, they're ready whenever you need something cool and summery.
Ingredients You'll Need
The exact ingredient measurements are in the recipe card below, but here's what you'll need:
- Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are wonderful in season, but frozen blueberries work beautifully too.
- Greek yogurt: I prefer full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture, but you can use your favorite yogurt.
- Honey: Adds just enough sweetness. You can adjust it depending on how sweet your berries are.
- Milk: Helps loosen the yogurt mixture so it pours easily into the molds.
- Lemon juice: Optional, but delicious. It brightens the blueberry flavor and makes these taste especially fresh.
How to Make Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles
Step 1: Make the blueberry puree
- Add the blueberries and honey to a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cook until the berries begin to burst and release their juices, then lightly mash them with a fork. Let the mixture cool before adding it to the yogurt.
- For smoother popsicles, you can blend and strain the blueberry mixture. I usually skip this step because I love the little ribbons and bits of blueberry in each pop.
Step 2: Mix the yogurt
- In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Fold in the cooled blueberry mixture. For a marbled look, stir only a few times. For a more blended popsicle, stir until evenly combined.
Step 3: Freeze
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and insert the sticks.
- Freeze for at least 3 hours, or until firm. For best results, freeze overnight.
Tips for Creamy Blueberry Popsicles
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture. Lower-fat yogurts can work, but the popsicles may be a little more icy or tart.
- Adjust the honey to taste. Sweet, ripe blueberries may need very little. If your berries are tart, add a bit more.
- Let the blueberry mixture cool before stirring it into the yogurt. This keeps the yogurt smooth and creamy.
- To release the popsicles, run the mold briefly under warm water until they loosen.
Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles: Healthy Summer Treats
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 3 tablespoons honey or to taste
- 2 ½ cups Greek Yogurt vanilla or plain
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional but delicious!
Instructions
- Heat the blueberries and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the blueberries release their juices; 4 to 5 minutes. Mash the blueberries with a fork and let them cool (see notes).
- Whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, and milk together.
- Fold the cooled blueberry mixture into the yogurt. For a marbled effect, stir only a couple of times so there are streaks of color. For a solid color until blended.
- Pour the mixture into six 3-ounce popsicle molds. Place the sticks into the molds, cover, and freeze for at least 3 hours to overnight. To unmold, run it under warm water before pulling the popsicles from their molds.
Notes
- Blueberry Puree: If you want a smooth popsicle with no berry chunks, puree the blueberry mixture, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Let the puree cool before folding it into the yogurt. For a marbled look, gently swirl the blueberry mixture into the yogurt just a few times. For a more blended popsicle, stir until fully combined.
- Make-Ahead and Storage: The blueberry purée can be made ahead up to about 5 days. Store in an airtight container. Unmold and wrap each popsicle tightly with plastic wrap to freeze for up to 1 month.
- Texture: For the creamiest texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt. Lower-fat yogurt will work, but the popsicles may be slightly more icy.
- Natural Sweetness: Adjust the honey to taste depending on the sweetness of your blueberries. Fresh, ripe berries may need less; tart berries may need a little more.
- To release the popsicles, run the mold briefly under warm water until they loosen.
