Marbled Blueberry & Vanilla Popsicles Recipe:
You’ll Need
- 1/2 cup super fine granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 cups fresh blueberries, plus 1/2 cup extra
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
Prep and Cook
- Combine granulated sugar and 1/3 cup water in a medium saucepan
Bring to a boil over high heat
Reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until all sugar is dissolved, 3-4 minutes
Remove from heat and set aside to cool - Place blueberries and lemon juice in a blender
Purée until smooth, about 30 seconds
Transfer about 1/2 cup simple syrup to the blender and whizz until all ingredients are well combined
Add more simple syrup if mixture is too thick - Using a spatula, fold in vanilla yogurt gently to create a marbled effect (do not over stir, you want some berry colour and some white)
Gently stir in remaining whole blueberries - Pour mixture into popsicle molds and freeze 4 hours
Insert popsicle sticks and freeze an additional 4 to 6 hours, or until frozen solid
