Berries n' Cream Popsicles
Servings 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 cup blackberries (~5 oz)
- 1 cup strawberries (~5 oz)
- 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Place the berries in separate bowls and mash them up with a fork. If they aren't super ripe or juicy, add a couple tablespoons of maple syrup, or to taste.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the yogurt, maple syrup, lime juice and salt.
- Get your popsicle molds out and start by filling them with a heaping spoonful of berries followed by a heaping spoonful of yogurt. Repeat this process until the molds are full. Make sure there are no air bubbles by pressing the spoon down into the molds, melding the layers together. Place popsicle sticks into each mold.
- Freeze overnight or for at least 8 hours. To remove, fill a large bowl with warm water and dip the popsicle molds in for 3-5 seconds. Try and wiggle the popsicles out (if they aren't budging, dip them back in the water).
- Store in an airtight ziploc bag or tupperware container.
Notes
Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Popsicles
1. You can make popsicles with any fruit you have on hand. Berries, peaches, watermelon, kiwi, etc...2. Throw the fruit in a blender for a smoother texture.
3. Don't have popsicle molds? You could always use muffin cups, paper cups, anything sort of cylindrical and small. However, they are worth the small investment if you plan on making them often.
4. Most popsicle molds come with a lid so that it holds your popsicle sticks in place. If you don't have this, it helps to partially freeze them and then slide the sticks in so they don't fall over. Nothing wrong with a crooked popsicle though!
