These blueberry lemonade popsicles are a simple, three-ingredient summer treat combining fresh blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar for a perfect balance of tart and sweet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300 grams) fresh blueberries
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: up to ¼ cup (60 ml) cold water

Instructions

  1. Rinse and prep blueberries: Wash about 2 cups (300 grams) of fresh blueberries under cold water and drain well. Remove any stems or damaged berries.
  2. Juice the lemons: Squeeze enough fresh lemons to yield ⅓ cup (80 ml) of juice. Strain out seeds.
  3. Blend blueberries: Place the blueberries in a blender or food processor and pulse a few times to create a mix of smooth puree with some small bits for texture.
  4. Add sugar and lemon juice: Pour in ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar and the fresh lemon juice. Blend again for about 10 seconds to mix evenly.
  5. Taste and adjust: Taste the mixture and add more sugar if too tart, or more lemon juice or a pinch of salt if too sweet.
  6. Pour into molds: Spoon the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion.
  7. Insert sticks and freeze: Place sticks in molds and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully solid.
  8. Unmold carefully: Run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds to loosen popsicles and gently pull out the sticks. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

Do not overblend the blueberries to keep some texture. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Taste and adjust sweetness before freezing. If mixture is too thick, stir in up to ¼ cup cold water. Freeze overnight for best texture. Unmold popsicles by running warm water over molds briefly.
