HOW TO MAKE RASPBERRY BLUEBERRY POPSICLES
THE BERRIES
You really can use any of your favorite three berries to make this recipe. Use what is fresh, ripe and in season as they will give you the best and richest flavor. Making the popsicles ultra sweet without adding any sugar.
Can you substitute with frozen berries?
Yes, You can totally substitute with frozen berries, but they might not be as sweet as fresh berries so make sure you are taste testing along the way, adding more honey or sugar if needed to your desired sweetness.
NOW MAKE YOUR HONEY LIME SYRUP
- In a blender add your lime, mint, and honey and blend until purred. you can also chop your mint ultra fine and stir to combine.
- In three separate bowls add 2 tbs of the syrup. You are preparing to add the berries!
HOW TO PUREE THE BERRIES
Now that you have your berries washed, and your syrup made take 1 heaping cup of each berry and place in the bowls.
BLEND YOUR BERRIES
in a blender blend each bowl separately and return back to bowl.
I DONT CARE TO DO OMBRE POPSICLES, CAN I JUST BLEND EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
of course. just combine syrup and all your berries and skip this step.
HOW TO MAKE OMBRE POPSICLES
To freeze your popsicles so that have the ombre look, start with the raspberry puree (the lightest color) and pour into your mold. My mold holds about 4 cups of liquid, so I put about 2 spoonfuls of puree in each popsicle.
I like to start with the lightest color and move to the darkest. Let it freeze for about 15-30 minutes and pour the next layer in.
After you have added the 3rd and final layer add the popsicle sticks and let it freeze until its nice and hard.
To party these ombre blueberry popsicles up add a light coating of course sugar to a side of the popsicle. Your kids and friends will go nuts over them!
PRO TIPS FOR THE PERFECT RASPBERRY BLUEBERRY POPSICLES
How to make a straight popsicle stick handle
- Let the popsicle freeze for 30-60 minutes, the liquid will firm up and then you can add the stick.
- Purchase a mold with a lid included- mine came with a lid with slots so I can slip the sticks in and they stay until frozen.
- Add fresh fruit. Adding the fruit holds up the stick :)
MY POPSICLE MOLD IS DIFFERENT THAN YOURS
How do you know how much liquid to add?
Because we don't all have the same popsicle mold (you can get mine from amazon here) it can be tricky to know how much to make in advance. Before making the smoothie pour water into your popsicle molds 1 cup at a time. My molds hold about 4 cups of liquid.
If I'm adding fresh fruit then I don't need to make as much. But now I have a good idea on how much to make. This peaches and cream smoothie popsicle recipe makes 4 cups. If you have extra serve to your kids as a drink!
