What You’ll Need

What You'll Need
  • 30 blueberries, hulled and cleaned
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup (8 oz/225 g) vanilla yogurt (or add a splash of vanilla extract to plain yogurt for a similar flavor)

How to Make Blueberry Lemon Popsicles

  1. Puree the blueberries in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  2. Mix in the lemon zest with the blueberry puree for a bright, citrusy flavor.
  3. Layer the mixture into popsicle molds by alternating spoonfuls of blueberry puree and vanilla yogurt. Swirl gently with a knife for a marbled effect, if desired.
  4. Cover the molds, insert popsicle sticks, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until solid.
  5. Tip: To easily remove the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them.

Sweeten It Up: Sauce and Topping Ideas

Drizzle your Blueberry Lemon Popsicles with a touch of honey or a quick berry sauce for extra sweetness. To make the sauce, simmer 1/2 cup of blueberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar and a splash of water until thickened. Let it cool before serving!

Perfect Pairings: Serving Suggestions

These popsicles are a refreshing treat on their own, but they pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a sprinkle of granola for added crunch. Serve them at summer picnics or as a light dessert after a BBQ.

Freeze and Enjoy: Storage Tips

Store your popsicles in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To prevent freezer burn, wrap each popsicle in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. Pro tip: Label the container with the date so you know when they were made!

Mix It Up: Recipe Variations

Try swapping blueberries for strawberries or raspberries for a different flavor twist. For a creamier texture, use coconut yogurt instead of vanilla. You can also add a splash of lemon juice for an extra zesty kick!

Quick and Easy: Time-Saving Tips

Prep your ingredients the night before to save time. Use pre-washed blueberries and pre-zested lemon for convenience. If you’re in a hurry, freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours—they’ll still be delicious, just a bit softer!
