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 chunks of berries, puree the blueberry mixture and then strain with a fine-mesh strainer. Add the blueberry mixture to the yogurt and proceed with the recipe.
Make-Ahead and Storage
- The blueberry purée can be made ahead up to about 5 days. Store in an air-tight container.
- Unmold and wrap each popsicle tightly with plastic wrap to freeze for up to 1 month.
Ingredient Notes
- I prefer the texture and flavor with a full-fat Greek yogurt. Low fat yogurts can produce more tart flavors in popsicles.
