Blueberry Lemon Breakfast Pops Recipes

BLUEBERRY-LEMON BREAKFAST BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove biscuits from the can and split in half crosswise, for a total of 10 biscuits. Place 5 biscuits on the prepared cookie sheet; divide blueberries over the tops. Cover blueberries with the remaining biscuits.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
• Combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a small bowl. Brush biscuits tops with 1/2 of the glaze. Let sit until glaze has set, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining glaze.

BLUEBERRY LEMON BARS WITH MERINGUE TOPPING

Steps:

• Combine flour, almond flour, and salt for crust in a bowl.
• Combine sugar, butter, shortening, and almond extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until light and somewhat fluffy. Add dry ingredients on low speed until just mixed, about 1 minute; do not overmix.
• Drop dough into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish and flatten with floured hands, building up a 1/2-inch edge on the sides so the filling doesn't stick to the dish. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove crust from the refrigerator and bake on the center rack of the preheated oven until golden at the edges and pale golden in the center, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit on a wire rack until completely cool, about 30 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• While the crust is cooling, combine sugar, flour, lemon juice, honey, 6 egg yolks, 4 egg whites, lemon zest, and baking soda for filling in a bowl. Whisk briefly to combine, but don't overmix because we don't want to over-aerate the filling. Set aside 2 remaining egg whites for the meringue topping.
• Spread blueberries over the cooled crust, then pour filling over top.
• Bake in the 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) oven, checking frequently, until filling is set, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, turn oven off, and let cool to room temperature on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high, or 525 degrees F (274 degrees C).
• Combine 2 reserved egg whites from the filling with 2 egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt for meringue in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Whisk frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until sugar has dissolved and mixture is hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove egg white mixture from the heat and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Increase speed to high and beat until meringue holds stiff, but spreadable, peaks. Spread and swirl meringue on top of the cooled blueberry bars.
• Set the lemon bars under the preheated broiler until meringue is evenly toasted and golden brown, about 30 to 60 seconds; do not walk away.
• Cut into 24 squares or triangles and refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours.

BLUEBERRY POPS

Steps:

• In a blender, puree blueberries with water, sugar, and fresh lemon juice. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing with a rubber spatula to release as much liquid as possible; discard solids. Add water if needed to yield 3 cups.
• Divide among ten 2 1/2 ounce molds; insert wooden sticks, and freeze until solid, about 3 hours (and up to 1 week). To remove, dip bottom of molds in warm water for 2 to 3 seconds.

HONEY LEMON BLUEBERRY ICE POP

Steps:

• Combine the honey and lemon juice in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the honey dissolves, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the honey-lemon mixture with the yogurt in a bowl, and then stir in the blueberries. Spoon the mixture into the ice pop molds and freeze until solid, about 3 hours.

RED, WHITE AND BLUEBERRY LEMONADE POPS

Steps:

• In blender, place red layer ingredients. Cover; blend until smooth. Spoon 2 tablespoons mixture into each of 6 (5-oz) paper cups. Cover cups with foil; insert craft stick into center of each pop. (Or fill ice pop molds according to manufacturer's directions.) Freeze about 2 hours or until frozen.
• When first layer is frozen, remove foil from pops. In small bowl, mix white layer ingredients until smooth. Spoon about 2 tablespoons mixture in each cup over frozen layer. Return foil to pops to support sticks. Freeze about 2 hours or until frozen.
• Meanwhile, in blender, place blueberry layer ingredients. Cover; blend until smooth. When white layer is frozen, remove foil from pops. Spoon about 2 tablespoons blueberry layer mixture in each cup over white layer. Return foil to pops to support sticks. Freeze at least 6 hours until frozen.
