Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Rinse the fresh blackberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully integrated, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add fresh lime juice to the cream cheese mixture and stir until well combined, creating a tangy and creamy base.
- Gently fold in the yogurt, mixing carefully to maintain a light and airy texture.
- Mash half of the blackberries in a separate small bowl to create a puree, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Layer the mixture in popsicle molds alternating between the cream cheese mixture and mashed blackberries to create a marbled effect.
- Insert whole blackberries into the molds for additional fruit chunks and visual appeal.
- Place popsicle sticks into the center of each mold, ensuring they are securely positioned.
- Freeze the popsicles for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until completely solid.
- To remove, briefly run the molds under warm water to help release the popsicles easily.
Tips
- • For the smoothest cream cheese mixture, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature before mixing. • Use fresh, ripe blackberries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness. • If you want a more intense blackberry flavor, you can replace some of the yogurt with additional pureed blackberries. • For a cleaner marbled effect, use a skewer or thin knife to gently swirl the layers after filling the molds. • Silicone popsicle molds work best for easy removal and cleaning. • If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups and wooden popsicle sticks as an alternative. • To make these popsicles more diet-friendly, substitute the sugar with a low-calorie sweetener or honey. • For an extra creamy texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt. • Always taste and adjust the sweetness before freezing, as the flavor will be slightly muted when frozen.
