Did you know that it’s easy peasy to make homemade popsicles? Instead of buying frozen treats loaded with processed ingredients, you can make yummy popsicles with a few simple ingredients at home!
Today I have a delicious recipe for Berries ‘n Cream Popsicles that your whole family will love.
These Berries ‘n Cream Popsicles are lightly sweetened, with just a hint of maple syrup, and have a perfect combination of tart berry sweetness and smooth cream.
There’s no refined sugar in this recipe and you can make it dairy-free if you need to, like my family. My kids’ favorite version is with cashew milk – they just love these Berries ‘n Cream Popsicles. (And so do I!)
How to Make Berries ‘n Cream Popsicles
What you’ll need:
- 1 cup milk – almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, or regular milk (or any combination)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 -1.5 cups frozen mixed berries, thawed
- popsicle mold
- popsicle sticks
Place the milk and maple syrup into a blender and blend well.
Add the thawed berries, and blend until it’s smooth.
As a fun option, you can put another 1/2 cup of berries into the blender mixture AFTER you’ve blended everything; this will add more “berry” texture to your popsicles.
Pour into your popsicle molds. I used four large popsicle molds.
I’m not a fan of the covers that came with my mold, so I prefer to cover it with foil and cut small holes with a knife tip on top where I place popsicle sticks 3/4 of the way in.
You can use the cover that comes with your popsicle mold or do it this way; whichever way you prefer is fine.
Freeze your berries ‘n cream popsicles until they’re hard.
When you’re ready to serve your popsicles, let them sit about 5 minutes at room temperature or run them under warm water for about 30 seconds to help as you remove them from the popsicle mold. 
Don’t remove them until you’re ready to eat – or give them to your kids – unless you plan on freezing them in ziploc baggies.
