Blackberry-lemon popsicles

Gorgeous icy treats, super-easy, with real fruit. Blackberry-lemon popsicles.

I’m kicking off July’s theme of frozen treats with these beautiful and easy-to-make blackberry-lemon popsicles. They just take time and patience to get this layered look. Made with real fruit, unsweetened fruit juice, and the smallest possible amount of agave syrup or honey to sweeten the lemon portion.

Migraine peeps: Omit the lemon portion if you’re not certain whether lemon is a trigger for you.

Suitable for:

low-sodium, gluten-free, reduced-sugar, paleo, vegan, vegetarian diets

Not for:

migraine diets (unless you omit the lemon)

Cuisine American

Servings 10 popsicles

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1-1/2 cups blackberry juice
• 6 ounces blackberries washed
• 1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh) plus zest from all the lemons
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1/4 cup agave syrup or honey

Instructions

 

• Pulse the blackberries with the blackberry juice until berries are broken down but not puréed. If using a Vitamix, leave on 1. Kids might prefer it if they are completely puréed. You can strain the blackberry seeds out if you don't have a high-speed blender.
• Fill popsicles molds 1/4 of the way. Do not add the sticks; put them in warm water to soak.
• Freeze popsicle molds for two hours. Refrigerate the blackberry blend.
• Press sticks firmly into the first layer and freeze another 60 minutes until very firm.
• Zest lemons as you juice them. I used four small lemons for this recipe. Stir lemon juice, coconut milk, agave syrup or honey, and lemon zest together.
• Fill popsicles molds to the halfway point. It's easier to fill the molds from the side. Freeze for one hour. Refrigerate the lemon mixture.
• Fill popsicle molds to the 3/4 point with remaining blackberry blend. Freeze one hour.
• Fill popsicle molds just to top with remaining lemon mixture. Freeze one hour or overnight.
• To unmold, pop individual molds out of the metal tray. Fill a tall glass with warm water. Hold mold in water to just below the edge and count to 15. They will slide right out. Freeze in ziptop bag.
