Notes

  • Do not rush or colors will bleed together
  • Use clear molds to see layers better
  • Strain for smoother texture without seeds
  • Add blue food coloring if blueberries are not bright enough
  • Do not overfill — liquids expand when frozen
  • Run under warm water to release from molds

  • Use paper cups if no popsicle molds
  • Store in sealed freezer bag after removing from molds
