Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups (225 grams / 7.9 oz) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2.5 cups (590 milliliters / 19.9 fl oz) Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
- 3–4 tbsps (45–60 milliliters / 1.5–2 fl oz) milk
- 3 tbsps (45 milliliters / 1.5 fl oz) honey (or to taste)
- 1 tsp (5 milliliters / 0.17 fl oz) lemon juice (optional but delicious!)
Instructions
- Blueberry Infusion: Heat blueberries and honey in a saucepan over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, allowing fruits to soften and release deep purple juices.
- Compote Preparation: Crush softened blueberries with a fork, creating a rustic compote, and cool to room temperature while preparing the yogurt base.
- Yogurt Blending: Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, and milk together until achieving a smooth, silky consistency, then gently fold in the cooled blueberry mixture to create elegant marbled streaks.
- Molding Process: Pour the swirled mixture into popsicle molds, leaving slight headspace for expansion, and carefully insert popsicle sticks to secure placement.
- Freezing Stage: Seal molds and freeze for a minimum of 3-4 hours or preferably overnight until completely solidified and firm.
- Serving Technique: Remove popsicles by briefly running molds under warm water, allowing frozen treats to release smoothly without breaking, and enjoy the vibrant, refreshing dessert immediately.
Notes
- Fruit Selection: Choose ripe, fresh blueberries at peak season for maximum sweetness and intense natural color.
- Heat Control: Warm blueberries gently to preserve delicate fruit nutrients and prevent burning or caramelization.
- Swirling Technique: Fold yogurt and blueberry mixture carefully to create beautiful marbled patterns without over-mixing.
- Freezing Pro Tip: Allow extra freezing time in very humid environments to ensure complete solidification and best texture.
