This frozen delight will not only satisfy your sweet tooth but also keep you feeling cool during those hot summer days. So, let's dive right into it!
Before we get started, I stumbled upon a fantastic video on TikTok that inspired this recipe. Now, let's gather our ingredients and get ready to create a scrumptious frozen masterpiece.
Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of fresh blueberries
- 1 cup of blue raspberry soda
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let's jump right into the step-by-step process:
Step 1: Wash and prepare the blueberries
Give your blueberries a good rinse under cold water to make sure they're clean and ready to go. Set them aside for a moment while we move on to the next step.
Step 2: Blend the blueberries
Take your freshly washed blueberries and toss them into a blender. Give them a whirl until they're nice and smooth. This will create a luscious blueberry puree that will make the base of our ice pops.
Step 3: Sweeten the mixture
To enhance the sweetness of our blueberry puree, add a tablespoon of honey. This natural sweetener will give our ice pops a delightful hint of sweetness without overpowering the fruity flavors. Drizzle it into the blender and give everything a quick blend to combine the ingredients.
Step 4: Add the blue raspberry soda
Now it's time to add a cup of blue raspberry soda to the blueberry mixture. The carbonation in the soda will give our ice pops a fun and fizzy texture. Pour it into the blender and give it one last whirl to make sure everything is well-mixed.
Step 5: Add a splash of lemon juice
To balance out the sweetness and bring out the vibrant flavors, squeeze in a tablespoon of lemon juice. The citrusy tang will complement the blueberries and create a refreshing taste. Give it a final mix to incorporate the lemon juice into the mixture.
Step 6: Pour into molds and freeze
Now that our blue raspberry ice pop mixture is ready, it's time to pour it into our ice pop molds. Fill each mold with the mixture, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Secure the lids or add the sticks, depending on the type of mold you have.
Step 7: Freeze and enjoy!
Pop the molds into the freezer and let them chill for at least 4-6 hours, or until they're completely frozen. Once they're ready, take them out and run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to help release the ice pops. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy your homemade Blue Raspberry Ice Pops!
