Very Berry Ice Pops Recipes

BERRY ICE CREAM POPS

Steps:

• Place ice pop molds on a small baking sheet that will fit in the freezer (and make room in the freezer, if necessary).
• In a medium bowl, toss the berries with the lemon juice and sugar. Let macerate stirring occasionally, until the fruit becomes juicy and the sugar is fully dissolved, about 10 minutes.
• In another medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla, and salt to medium peaks. Whisk in the sour cream, then gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk. Mix just until completely combined; do not overmix.
• Use a potato masher (or large fork) to gently mash the macerated berries. Gently fold in about 1 cup of the cream mixture. Pour the remaining cream mixture into the prepared ice pop molds, filling each about halfway.
• Top with the berry mixture, filling the molds the rest of the way. Insert ice pop sticks into the center of each ice pop and freeze until frozen, at least 6 hours. Run the molds briefly under warm water, then pull on the sticks to unmold the ice pops.

VERY BERRY ICE POPS

Steps:

• In a blender, combine blackberries and 1/2 cup each sugar and cream and blend until smooth, scraping down sides as necessary. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing on solids (you should have about 2 cups puree); discard solids. Rinse out blender. Add raspberries and 1/2 cup each sugar and cream; blend until smooth. Pour through a clean sieve into another bowl, pressing on solids (you should have about 2 cups puree); discard solids.
• Fill four 3-ounce ice-pop molds one-third full with blackberry puree and fill four molds one-third full with raspberry puree. Freeze until just frozen, about 1 hour. Pour another layer of purees, alternating them, over frozen layers to fill molds two-thirds full and insert ice-pop sticks. When second layer is just frozen, about 45 minutes, top with alternate purees and freeze until solid, 6 hours (or up to 2 weeks).

HEALTHY BLUEBERRY-OAT BREAKFAST ICE POPS

Steps:

• In the pitcher of a blender add the blueberries, hazelnut milk, oats, honey, preserves, lemon juice and a pinch of salt, and puree until smooth.
• Divide the mixture evenly among six 3- to 4-ounce ice pop molds. Freeze until solid, at least 8 hours, but preferably overnight.
• Rest at room temperature for a few minutes before unmolding.

VANILLA POPS WITH FRESH BERRIES

Steps:

• Whisk together Almond Breeze, sugar, cornstarch, and extract in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, whisking frequently. Add coconut oil and cook over low heat for 5 minutes or until mixture has thickened, stirring frequently. Let cool, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in berries and spoon into ice cream pop molds. Insert a handle or popsicle stick into each. Freeze overnight.

COCONUT BERRY FIRECRACKER ICE POPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine coconut milk, 2 tablespoons honey, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
• Add strawberries and 2 teaspoons honey to the pitcher of a blender or to a food processor. Puree. Transfer poureed strawberries to a bowl and rinse out the blender.
• Add blueberries and 2 teaspoons honey to the blender or food processor and puree.
• Alternating in 3-5 layers, pour coconut mix, pureed strawberries, and pureed blueberries into 3-ounce ice pop molds (these are my favorite). Use a skewer or chopstick to blend and swirl layers slightly.
• Add popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, until solid.
• To remove popsicles from molds, submerge just the mold in a bowl of room temperature water for a few seconds until popsicles easily slide out. Serve immediately.
