Red, White, And Blue Popsicles
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
