    You didn't think that I was just going to let #popsicleweek pass by this summer without saying a word, did you? Not a chance. We eat a lot of popsicles at our house - heck, we've even had popsicle parties!

    Today I'm sharing the recipe for these homemade Very Berry Popsicles. They look pretty cool, don't you think? I love how the blackberry creeps into the strawberry layer. It's a berrylicious sight to behold.

    And as long as we're swooning over these popsicles, let me tell you what. . .they're berry, berry delicious, too. 😉 Perfect for a 4th of July celebration for sure!

    They're really very simple to make. All you need are some fresh berries, lemon juice and sugar. If you don't have a popsicle mold, small paper cups will work too! To get the "seeping" effect, you pour the strawberry layer, filling the mold about halfway. Then you top it off with the blackberry layer.

    I used a knife to push some of the blackberry layer down into the strawberry layer to create a more dramatic effect between the layers.

    Prep Time: 15 minutes mins
    Cook Time: 15 minutes mins
    Servings: 8 popsicles
    Calories: 89kcal
    Author: Sara
    adjust servings: 8 popsicles

    Ingredients

    • 6 ounces blackberries
    • ½ cup water (divided)
    • ½ cup sugar (divided)
    • 8 ounces strawberries
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 6 popsicle sticks

    Instructions

    • Blend blackberries and half of the water and sugar until smooth. Set aside.
    • Clean out the blender.
    • Blend strawberries, remaining water and sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
    • Fill popsicle molds halfway with strawberry mixture.
    • Top off molds with blackberry mixture.
    • Use a butter knife to push the blackberry down into the strawberry layer to create a swirl effect.
    • Freeze for 30 minutes.
    • Add sticks to popsicles.
    • Freeze for another 8-10 hours.

    Notes

    1. Layering Technique: To achieve a visually appealing swirl effect in your popsicles, pour the blackberry mixture over the strawberry mixture in the popsicle molds. Then, use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the two mixtures together, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix, as you want distinct layers with a beautiful swirl pattern.
    2. Consistency Check: Before adding the popsicle sticks, insert them into the partially frozen popsicles to ensure they stand upright. This prevents the sticks from sinking or tilting as the popsicles freeze completely. Adjust the position of the sticks if necessary to ensure they are centered in each mold.
    3. Easy Removal: To remove the popsicles from the molds without breaking them, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. This helps loosen the popsicles from the molds, making them easier to slide out. Gently wiggle the sticks and pull on them to release the popsicles from the molds intact, ready to enjoy!
