Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blueberries (frozen works too)
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup fresh basil (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the blueberries, honey, and fresh basil if using. Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Prepare Popsicle Molds: Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, filling them carefully. Insert wooden popsicle sticks about three-quarters of the way down into each mold to ensure they hold while freezing.
- Freeze Popsicles: Place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 3 hours, or until fully set and solidified.
- Remove and Serve: To easily remove popsicles from the molds, run the outside of the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them. Carefully pull out the popsicles and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are not available; just thaw slightly before blending.
- Strain the mixture through a fine sieve before pouring into molds if you prefer popsicles without any pulp or seeds.
- Adjust honey amount according to desired sweetness or substitute with agave nectar for a different flavor profile.
- Basil is optional but adds a fresh, herbal note that complements the blueberries well.
- Store leftover popsicles in an airtight container in the freezer up to one week for best texture and flavor.
