Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 2 cups blackberries
- 1 cup yogurt (plain or flavored)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Rinse the fresh blackberries thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Gently mash the berries using a fork or potato masher to release their juices and create a slightly chunky texture.
- Add the plain or flavored yogurt to the mashed blackberry mixture and stir until well combined, creating a marbled effect with the berries and cream.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup to suit your preference.
- Carefully pour the blackberry and yogurt mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold, ensuring they are straight and securely positioned.
- Place the filled popsicle molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze completely, which typically takes about 4-6 hours or overnight.
- To remove popsicles, run the molds briefly under warm water to help release them easily. Gently twist and pull to remove each popsicle.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, creamy blackberry treat.
Tips
- Choose ripe, fresh blackberries for the most intense flavor. Look for berries that are deep purple and plump.
- For a smoother texture, you can blend the blackberry mixture instead of mashing if you prefer less fruit chunks.
- Experiment with different yogurt flavors like vanilla or Greek yogurt to create unique variations.
- If you don't have popsicle molds, use small paper cups and wooden sticks as an alternative.
- To prevent ice crystals, ensure you mix the ingredients thoroughly and don't leave any liquid unmixed.
- For an extra touch of elegance, you can drizzle melted dark chocolate over the frozen popsicles before serving.
- These popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to a week in a sealed container or freezer bag.
