Can I use frozen blueberries?

You can but make sure to thaw them first so they blend up easily.

Can I use low-fat yogurt instead?

I recommend sticking with full-fat Greek yogurt for these. The fat content gives the popsicles that nice creamy texture and helps keep them from turning dense and icy.

How long do these take to freeze?

Plan on at least 4 to 6 hours, preferably overnight! The exact timing will depend on your freezer and the size of your popsicle molds.

What's the best way to store them?

These popsicles will keep in the freezer for 1 to 2 months but I think they're best within the first few weeks. You can leave them stored right in the mold or unmold them and wrap each popsicle tightly in plastic wrap before transferring them to a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. Just work quickly so they don't melt!

Instructions

Blend the blueberry mixture: Add the fresh blueberries, honey or maple syrup, cream and lemon zest to a blender. Blend until smooth.
Add the yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt and give it a very quick blend on low speed, just until everything is combined (making sure not to over-blend!). You can also simply stir it through by hand.
Fill the popsicle molds: Pour the blueberry yogurt mixture into your popsicle molds, leaving a little room at the top. This recipe makes 6 large popsicles in my favorite mold but the yield may vary depending on the size of your molds.
Freeze and enjoy: Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until the popsicles are completely firm (preferably overnight!). When you’re ready to enjoy, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds and it should slide right out.

Notes

My Favorite Popsicle Mold: I really, really love this stainless steel popsicle mold. I’ve had mine for years and use it all the time (definitely one of those kitchen purchases that has been worth every penny). It makes those classic popsicle shapes you see in all my popsicle recipes and the popsicles slide right out after just a few seconds under warm water. No wrestling with the mold or waiting forever for it to release! I also love that each popsicle has its own individual mold instead of being stuck together in one big tray. Makes a huge difference!
