Blueberry Popsicles

Mmmmm! Now that it's summer, it's popsicle time! These are so good. And why wouldn't they be? They are made with ice cream! They taste like a blueberry milkshake.

Here's the recipe (from Martha Stewart)

I bought a new popsicle maker to make these. Here's the one I bought, but any one would work.

Ingredients

  • 5 1/2 cups blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream

Directions

  1. Cook blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until berries release their juices, about 10 minutes. Strain mixture through a fine sieve, pressing on berries to extract liquid. Discard solids.
  2. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour. Transfer to a blender along with ice cream, and puree until smooth. Divide mixture among fourteen 2 1/2-ounce ice-pop molds, and freeze until hardened, at least 4 hours.
