Blueberry Cream Popsicles image

These naturally purple pops are made with a combination of simmered blueberries puréed into an easy no-churn ice cream base. You can substitute yogurt or crème fraîche for the sour cream; either will give the popsicles a subtle tang. You can use fresh or frozen berries. (Frozen berries can be thawed and used as directed in the method below. Or use them straight from the freezer, but add 2 to 4 minutes to the cook time.) The number of pops this recipe makes depends on the size and shape of the molds used. The base can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours if you need to freeze in batches; just give the mixture a stir before using.

Time 20m

Yield About 10 popsicles

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups/290 grams fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup/120 milliliters sweetened condensed milk
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream
1/4 cup/60 milliliters sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, toss the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar and salt to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the mixture becomes juicy, 4 to 5 minutes. (Add 2 to 4 minutes of cook time if you're using frozen, unthawed berries.
  • Transfer to the bowl of a food processor or blender and cool for 10 minutes. Purée the mixture until relatively smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the sweetened condensed milk and blend until combined, 20 to 30 seconds. Scrape the bowl well.
  • Add the heavy cream and process until the mixture is well combined and thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the sour cream and vanilla and blend until fully incorporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute. If necessary, transfer the mixture to a large container with a spout, such as a 4-cup/1-liter liquid measuring cup. Divide the mixture between the popsicle molds, filling each just under the rim of the cavity of the mold. Gently press a popsicle stick into the center of each cavity and freeze until firm, at least 8 hours.
  • To unmold, gently run warm water over the base of the molds. They should easily release. Keep frozen until ready to serve.

These popsicles were a waste of time and ingredients. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these popsicles just didn't taste good. I won't be making them again.

These popsicles didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I think I overcooked the blueberry mixture.

I had trouble getting the popsicles out of the molds. I think I'll try using silicone molds next time.

These popsicles are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These popsicles are a great way to use up leftover blueberries. They're also a great way to get your kids to eat more fruit.

I'm not a big fan of blueberries, but I really enjoyed these popsicles. The creaminess of the popsicles balances out the tartness of the blueberries perfectly.
