Why You’ll Love These Blueberry Popsicles
As seen on Home & Family TV! I made these popsicles on air, and they were a hit—so fun, simple, and full of flavor.
Roasted blueberries + honey = magic – Roasting brings out the juiciness and sweetness for a rich, fruity swirl in every bite.
Creamy, dreamy, and just a little fancy—these popsicles get their rich, tangy flavor from crème fraîche. I also use it in my baked banana donuts, and trust me… it’s so good!
If you’re as blueberry-obsessed as I am, you’ve got to try my blueberry donuts, blueberry bundt cake, and blueberry muffins too. These popsicles are just one more way to enjoy summer’s best berry!
Blueberry Popsicles Ingredients
Blueberries – Fresh or frozen both work! Roasting brings out their natural sweetness and creates that deep, juicy flavor.
Honey – A natural sweetener that caramelizes beautifully when roasting. You can also use maple syrup if you prefer.
Crème fraîche – This thick, slightly tangy cream makes the popsicles extra smooth and rich. Greek yogurt or sour cream can be used in a pinch, but crème fraîche really elevates the flavor.
Whole milk – Adds a light creaminess and keeps the base smooth. You could sub with coconut milk for a dairy-free twist.
Heavy cream – For an ultra-creamy texture. Half-and-half will work too!
Cornstarch – This is my secret to popsicles that are creamy, not icy. It thickens the mixture just enough to give it a luscious mouthfeel.
Vanilla extract – A splash of pure vanilla adds warmth and balances the tartness of the berries.
How to Make Blueberry Popsicles
Roast the blueberries – Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil and scatter the blueberries on top. Drizzle with honey and roast for about 10–15 minutes, until they’re juicy and popping open. Let them cool completely.
Blend the cream base – In a blender, combine the crème fraîche, whole milk, cream, cornstarch, vanilla, and remaining honey. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Fill the molds – Add a spoonful of roasted blueberries to each popsicle mold. Then pour in the cream mixture. Give each mold a gentle swirl with a skewer or butter knife to mix the berries in just a bit.
Freeze – Leave a little room at the top of the mold (about ¼”) to allow for expansion. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze overnight.
Unmold and enjoy – Run warm water over the outside of the molds for 30 seconds to loosen, then gently pull to release.
Popsicle Making Tips
Roast the blueberries – Don’t skip this step! It deepens the flavor and makes the berries extra juicy.
Leave room in the molds – Frozen liquids expand, so leave about ¼ inch at the top to avoid overflow and messy edges.
Use cornstarch for creaminess – It helps the base stay soft and smooth rather than icy.
Don’t force the popsicles out – If they don’t slide out easily, run them under warm water for a few more seconds. They should release without tugging.
Swirl gently – A quick swirl in the mold helps blend the cream and berries while still showing off those pretty streaks.
How to Store Popsicles
- Freeze time – At least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
- Storage – Once frozen solid, remove from molds and store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 1 month.
- Tip – Separate layers with parchment to prevent sticking.
Frequently Asked Questions
