These Red White and Blueberry Popsicles are a patriotic must-have this Labor Day! If someone asks me what my favorite holiday is, I always say Labor Day. The last celebration of the summer and the weather is always perfect for enjoying homemade popsicles!
These popsicles are super easy to make too. Start by blending the raspberries until you have a puree. Repeat with the blueberries. If the blueberry puree is too purple, add a couple of drops of blue coloring. Layer the purees and yogurt into popsicle molds, freezing between layers to ensure the colors don’t bleed into each other. It’s ok if they blend a little bit! Un-mold and enjoy! These will keep in the freezer for about a day if you make them in advance.
To make Red White and Blueberry Popsicles, you will need the following ingredients:
Place 1 cup of raspberries in a food processor. Blend until smooth and thin with water until you have a pourable consistency. Transfer to a small measuring cup and chill.
Place 1 cup of blueberries in the food processor and blend. Add blue coloring if necessary. Thin until pourable and transfer to a measuring cup, chill until ready to use.
Pour a little blueberry mixture into the molds. Place in the freezer to chill for an hour before adding the next layer.
Pour some yogurt into each mold to make the next stripe. Cover the top of the mold and insert popsicle sticks. Make sure the stick goes a little bit into the frozen layer so they will stand upright. Return to the freezer until firm for about 1 hour.
Remove from the freezer and pour in a layer of raspberry puree. And return the mold to the freezer to harden.
Repeat the layers until each of the molds is full. Leave in the freezer until the popsicles are completely frozen.
Un-mold the popsicles and serve immediately or wrap each popsicle in wax paper and return to the freezer to save for later.
These Red White and Blueberry Popsicles are a patriotic treat for both kids and adults this Labor Day weekend. Try making them soon and remember to tag #cookmerecipes if you post pics on instagram!
