Red, White, And Blue Popsicles :firecracker:

Active Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 7 hrs 40 mins
Servings: 8

Ingredients:

2 cups hulled and quartered fresh strawberries

6 Tbsp. granulated sugar, divided

3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (from 1 large lemon), divided

3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (from 2 medium limes), divided

1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt

3 Tbsp. heavy cream

2 cups fresh blueberries

Directions:

Step 1. Make red layer: Process strawberries, some sugar, and a bit of lemon and lime juice in a blender until smooth. Strain; discard solids. Portion 3 tablespoons into each ice-pop mold. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.

Step 2. Make white layer: Stir together yogurt, heavy cream, sugar, and more lemon and lime juice. Portion the mixture into each ice-pop mold. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.

Step 3. Make blue layer: Process blueberries, remaining sugar, lemon, and lime juice until smooth. Strain; discard solids. Portion into each ice-pop mold.

Step 4. Freeze: Insert popsicle sticks into molds; freeze until solid, about 6 hours.

Notes:

Once frozen, unmold popsicles and transfer to a freezer bag for longer storage. (The airtight seal will save them from potential freezer burn and make them easier to store.)

If transporting to a party, pop the bag into a cooler and layer with ice or ice packs.

Note from Amethyst: Here’s a link to some star molds on Amazon. There are others too, bigger and smaller. I just liked the looks of these. Patriotic Star Popsicle Molds
