Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 ½ cups greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
- 3 tbsps honey (or to taste)
- 3–4 tbsps milk
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional but delicious)
Instructions
- Berry Preparation: Simmer blueberries and honey in a saucepan over medium heat until berries rupture, releasing rich purple essence, then delicately crush with a fork to create a rustic compote and allow to cool completely.
- Yogurt Blending: Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, and milk in a mixing bowl until smooth, then integrate the cooled blueberry mixture, choosing either a marbled appearance through minimal stirring or a solid purple tone with thorough mixing.
- Molding Process: Evenly distribute the vibrant liquid into popsicle molds, leaving minimal headspace for expansion, and precisely center popsicle sticks for stable freezing.
- Freezing Stage: Transfer molds to freezer and allow to solidify for a minimum of three hours or preferably overnight until completely set.
- Serving Technique: Release popsicles by briefly immersing molds in warm water, then carefully extract the frozen delicacies and savor immediately to preserve optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- Burst Berries Perfectly: Medium heat helps blueberries release natural juices without burning, creating a rich, vibrant compote.
- Mixing Magic: Choose between marbled swirls or solid purple popsicles by varying stirring techniques for visual variety.
- Freeze Strategically: Allow minimum three hours freezing time, preferably overnight, to ensure complete and stable setting.
- Release with Care: Warm water trick ensures smooth popsicle removal without damaging delicate frozen structure.
