Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and water.
Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to burst and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature.
Once cooled, purée the blueberry mixture in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Layer the blueberry purée and yogurt mixture alternately into popsicle molds to create a swirled effect. Use a skewer or toothpick to gently swirl the layers if desired.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully frozen.
To release the ice pops, briefly run the molds under warm water and gently pull them out. Serve immediately and enjoy!
