Blueberry Cream Popsicles
Ingredients
- 2 cups/290 grams fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup/120 milliliters sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream
- ¼ cup/60 milliliters sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
- In a medium pot, toss the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar and salt to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the mixture becomes juicy, 4 to 5 minutes. (Add 2 to 4 minutes of cook time if you’re using frozen, unthawed berries.
- Transfer to the bowl of a food processor or blender and cool for 10 minutes. Purée the mixture until relatively smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the sweetened condensed milk and blend until combined, 20 to 30 seconds. Scrape the bowl well.
- Add the heavy cream and process until the mixture is well combined and thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the sour cream and vanilla and blend until fully incorporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute. If necessary, transfer the mixture to a large container with a spout, such as a 4-cup/1-liter liquid measuring cup. Divide the mixture between the popsicle molds, filling each just under the rim of the cavity of the mold. Gently press a popsicle stick into the center of each cavity and freeze until firm, at least 8 hours.
- To unmold, gently run warm water over the base of the molds. They should easily release. Keep frozen until ready to serve.
