Why I Love this Recipe
Last summer, I hosted a backyard barbecue for friends and family. It was one of those scorching hot days, and I wanted to serve a dessert that was both refreshing and impressive. That’s when I thought of combining my favorite mojito flavors with blueberries to create a popsicle. The result was a hit, and everyone loved the blend of creamy yogurt, tangy lime, and fresh blueberries. Since then, these popsicles have become a staple in my summer recipe repertoire, and I’m thrilled to share them with you.
Blueberry Mojito Popsicle Ingredients
For the Blueberry Lime Compote:
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
For the Yogurt Mixture:
- 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
- Zest of 1 lime
- 5 tablespoons rum
Additional Equipment
- Popsicle molds
- Popsicle sticks
How to Make these Delicious Blueberry Mojito Popsicles
Step 1: Make the Blueberry Lime Compote
- In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, water, sugar, lime juice, and chopped mint.
- Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens. Stir occasionally.
- Allow the compote to cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare the Yogurt Mixture
- In a large bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lime zest, and rum until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Popsicles
- Spoon two tablespoons of the blueberry compote into each popsicle mold.
- Fill the molds with the yogurt mixture.
- Use a spoon to gently swirl the yogurt and blueberry compote together for a marbled effect.
- Insert popsicle sticks into the molds.
Step 4: Freeze and Serve
- Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
- To easily remove the popsicles from the molds, run the outside of the molds under warm water for a few seconds before pulling out the popsicles.
Tips and Variations
- Storage: Store the popsicles in an airtight container or resealable freezer bag, separated by parchment paper, to prevent sticking. They are best enjoyed within 1-2 weeks.
- Sweeteners: Feel free to substitute honey for sugar in the compote if you prefer a natural sweetener.
- Alcohol-Free Option: For a kid-friendly version, omit the rum and replace with additional lime juice or water.
