blueberry creamsicles
If you have a creative bent like me (I’ve always gravitated toward artistic pursuits), you’ll enjoy the process of making these blueberry creamsicles. Swirl the layers together for a beautiful blend of flavors and colors – honeyed blueberries layered with tangy-sweet yogurt makes one irresistible combination. Be prepared to make a bit of a mess, though that’s simply part of the fun!
Blueberry Creamsicles
1 1/2 cups plain fat-free Greek yogurt
3 Tbsp honey
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups blueberries
1/4 cup honey
Place yogurt in an ultra-fine sieve or a strainer lined with cheesecloth and strain over a bowl in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or up to overnight). Combine yogurt, honey and vanilla in a food processor; pulse until smooth. Pour mixture into a squeeze bottle or liquid measuring cup; wipe processor clean.
Combine blueberries and honey in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Place blueberry mixture in food processor and puree until smooth. Pour mixture into a squeeze bottle or liquid measuring cup.
Fill popsicle molds with alternating layers of yogurt and blueberry mixtures, leaving a 1/2-inch of space at the top of each mold. Swirl layers together with a metal skewer. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until completely firm, about 6 hours. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes before unmolding.

these look healthy and delish!
These are so pretty, and I love how healthy the ingredients are!
So gorgeous, Laura! I love the flavor and think these would be perfectly refreshing during a sticky hot Texas summer! Great recipe for beating the heat.
Love these creamsicles!! Also, the cups you used in the photos…I must have several! π
These are so beautiful Laura, I can see how fun they would be to swirl. I’m not sure I would get the mixture into the molds though, it sounds delicious!
Gorgeous photo, Laura! These creamsicles look tempting!
Yum! These sound perfect for the hot days of summer.
Lately I’ve been eating a popsicle a night, and I’m almost out of my last batch… These need to be next!
I keep meaning to pick up some blueberries, I’ve been so blown away by the blueberry ice creams and popsicles—the color is so vibrant. I love the squeeze bottle/swirl technique—I can’t wait to try that!
What an irresistible summer treat! Your photos are so enticing, I could just grab a creamsicle to start my day off with a sweet dazzle!
How pretty! And what a way to cool down in this summer heat!
These are so beautiful, Laura!!!! And they look delish, of course!! π
Laura, these are simply perfect. Just a pretty shot!
The summer heat finally arrived here and your creamsicles would be create to keep cool with. I can imagine how much fun it was to make them. Thanks for sharing Laura!:)
Bet I’d enjoy the swirling process! And of course, devouring it thereafter π

Yum yum yum yum yum!!!!
So pretty and I bet perfectly refreshing. And good for you too! My favorite kind of Summer treat!
These popsicles look gorgeous! I bet they are incredible too.
Oh Laura, your blueberry creamsicles look absolutely gorgeous. I love the swirls of blueberries agains the yoghurt. I love that they are good for you too!
These look so incredible. I love the swirl pattern.
I can’t take my eyes away from the screen. These sound amazing!
These look and sound incredible!! I loooove your photos! Makin’ me drool and all… YUM!
My popsicle molds arrived at my doorstep last week and I’ve been dreaming of cool and refreshing treats since–love these pops!
These are some pretty pops Laura! Your photos are lovely and the recipe is a keeper, healthy too.
wow, i was totally expecting a long and tedious ingredient list along with difficult instructions. i’m so happy that it’s the complete opposite! these look gorgeous – i love your photos.
I just bought a popsicle mold today and am looking for popsicle recipes. These look so good and I can’t believe how easy they are to make. For some reason, I thought making homemade popsicles was difficult. I’m glad I was wrong! π
Love the colors of these creamsicles! I feel like I’m always making a mess whenever I cook so I like recipes that even encourage it (or at least prepare me for it) π
Ooh! Love that you used honey, Greek yogurt and a whisper of vanilla for your Blueberry Creamsicles recipe, Laura! Nom! Beautiful photo, too! Blueberries are always worth the mess. π
Those look so much more complicated than they are – my son would love one!
I love the colours and patterns that you got there Laura! π
They look amazing – worth the mess I would say π
Ooohhhh yes! Perfect on a hot day and so pretty too!
They’re so pretty!
I love that carb calculator at the end :-)..and you are a genius with styling, as I always find it difficult to shoot ice-creams esp pops!
These are so pretty.
Simply gorgeous! You’ve mastered the art of the swirl, my friend!
What beautiful creamsicles! I want a bite NOW! Like, right now…!
I’ve made orange creamsicles but never blueberry. I need to try your idea! Pinned!
These are GORGEOUS and the perfect way to beat the almost 100 degree temps I’m experiencing!
I can’t believe how ridiculously stunning these are, Laura! The perfect summer treat! π
What a pretty summer treat…better than anything you could buy.
That pattern! They look gorgeous, and healthy too… yogurt for the win! Eat it down, pretend it’s ice-cream, but with just a fraction of the calories!
Gorgeous, and I really cannot wait to try this when I come back from my vacation. I have to pray hard that blueberries are still good then… I’m a bit worried! I eat 2 cups of blueberries by themselves at one sitting! These 8 creamsicles are all mine… π
It’s 33*C over here and this icy goodies would disapear within seconds. Amazing photography as well, so tasty.
great healthy pops for summer! i love blueberries.
It just so happens that I bought 2 pounds of blueberries today without a plan! It’s like fate! Thanks for the lovely recipe.
I have long wanted to make my own popsicles – you are such an inspiration with these tasty numbers! Love the swirl!!!!
Berry irresistible! Those looks fabulous. A pity it’s not hot enough here (rotten weather) to eat those creamsicles…
Cheers,
Rosa
Absolutely gorgeous!!

Thanks Ann, so glad you liked them! π
