Blueberry Yuzu Popsicles
Feeling a bit blue now that summer's almost over? I've got the answer to your woes with these vibrant blueberry yuzu popsicles!
Fresh blueberry puree, yuzu juice, maple syrup, and dairy free plain yogurt result in quite a bright flavored frozen treat. Vegan and refined sugar free - just simple, clean ingredients. Perfect for the end of summer barbecues (and for areas like SC where it's hot even in the fall). Make these along with my vegan orange creamsicle bars for fruity treats to please the entire family!
Have you tried yuzu? Yuzu is a citrus fruit native to Asia. Like a lemon, yuzu isn't eaten as a fruit. The zest and juice are used most frequently. There's a ban on import of the fresh fruit to the United States, but you can find the juice for baking. I was able to order yuzu juice on Amazon. The tart citrus flavor pairs perfectly with fresh blueberry.

Recipe details
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh blueberries (frozen will work if in a pinch)
- 2 tbsp yuzu juice
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cup dairy free plain yogurt
Instructions
- Add blueberries to food processor along with the yuzu juice, maple syrup, and yogurt. Process in food processor until smooth. About 3-5 minutes. The skin of blueberries will still be visible and that is okay!
- Pour into popsicle molds using large measuring cup and/or funnel. Fill each opening 3/4 of the way initially and then equally distribute any left over mixture. Add popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 3 hours before serving.
- Will keep for up to 30 days in the freezer if left in popsicle molds.
Tips
- If difficult to remove from mold, dip mold in warm water for 15 seconds and popsicle should slide out
- Can use blackberries if preferred! Reduce to 2 3/4 cup
