Let’s get to it!
What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat for the creamiest texture)
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup milk (any kind—dairy or non-dairy)
Tools
- Blender or food processor
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Popsicle molds
- Popsicle sticks
- Small spoon or spatula
Pro Tips
- Blend until completely smooth – If you want a creamy, no-bits texture, blend for an extra minute.
- Swirl for a fun look – Blend most of the blueberries, but leave a few to mash and mix in for a pretty swirl effect.
- Adjust sweetness – Taste the mixture before freezing and add more honey if needed.
- Loosen the popsicles easily – Run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to help release them.
- Use silicone molds – They make it much easier to remove the popsicles without breaking them.
Substitutions & Variations
- Swap blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, or mango.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese for a tangier flavor.
- Try a dairy-free version with almond milk and coconut-based yogurt.
- Make it extra fun by dipping the frozen popsicles in melted dark chocolate!
Instructions
1. Blend Everything Together
Add cottage cheese, blueberries, honey, vanilla extract, and milk to a blender. Blend until completely smooth. If you like a chunkier texture, pulse instead of blending all the way.
2. Pour into Popsicle Molds
Carefully pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, filling each about 90% full. Insert popsicle sticks into the center.
3. Freeze Until Solid
Place the molds in the freezer and let them set for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
4. Remove & Enjoy!
Once frozen, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to help release the popsicles. Gently pull them out and enjoy!
Leftovers & Storage
- Store popsicles in the mold or transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
- To prevent sticking, wrap each one in parchment paper before storing in a bag.
