Welcome Summer! I know everyone in the midwest is supposed to be talking about how sweltering it is, but friends- I kinda love it. Well, at least compared to the alternative.
Hot, humid summer > freezing, snow-filled winter.
I was born for hot weather. Basking in the sun, sweat glistening on my skin is hands down one of my favorite feelings. Maybe it’s also because I prefer to throw on cut-offs, a tank-top and flip-flops and call it a day. When it’s overwhelmingly hot outside, it’s appropriate to leave the house in this ensemble all day, every day (according to me).

Roasted Blueberry, Coconut and Lime Popsicles!

So, let’s celebrate the heat! These popsicles are not only striking in color, they remind me of my favorite tropical drink- lime in da coconut. Adding in a base of sweetly roasted blueberries seemed like a natural next step. We roasted strawberries for ice cream, and now blueberries for popsicles! I love where this trend is heading.

These popsicles really couldn’t be any easier to put together. I’ve divided the filling for a striking color contrast, but you don’t have to do this. You could dump all of the ingredients together, blend and fill, but I think the extra step is worth it for such a dramatic looking dessert.

I’ve made these a few times now, for adults and for kids and both parties loved them. Last week I was visiting my friend and her sweet boys when her five-year-old asked me with the biggest eyes if I could make some more popsicles for him. How do you say no to that? I have a feeling this is only the beginning of popsicle season.

Notes

i prefer these popsicle molds instead of the silicone ones. To unfreeze, place the popsicle molds in hot water for 10 seconds, then pull out. Leftover popsicles also taste incredible pureed with a little white rum for a frozen drink!
