Spiriteds, you know you have a good recipe when the making of the recipe is as fun as the enjoying of the recipe. These Dairy-Free Blueberry Popsicles are super-easy to throw together, customize to your liking, and then EAT! Like, if you want to have your popsicle and eat it, too, well, with this recipe you CAN. Because you get to decide whether to go the almond milk (or other dairy-free alternative of choice) route or the coconut yogurt route. I started this recipe years ago firmly planted in the almond milk category. But then I played around with vanilla coconut yogurt and discovered I also liked the extra kick that version yields.

So what does the family think? The firstborn isn’t crazy about blueberries but preferred the almond milk version. The second born likes blueberries and also preferred the popsicles made with almond milk. K-Hubs and I enjoy the vanilla coconut yogurt version. So basically, when we make these, we prepare both versions so everyone who wants one gets one.

And that’s that on that.

Spiriteds, if you are in the market for some Dairy-Free Blueberry Popsicles that are a treat to eat, then grab a blender, popsicle moulds (or molds, however you choose to spell it!), and some fresh blueberries, and let’s do this!  

Dairy-Free Blueberry Popsicles are

• Vegan-friendly
• Gluten-free
• Easy to make
• Sweet and tart
• Customizable to taste preferences

Side note: If you have more blueberry popsicle mixture than moulds to fill, then store leftovers in the refrigerator to enjoy as a smoothie!

Dairy-Free Popsicles ingredients

• Fresh blueberries. And the fresher the better! You’ll get a softer, sweeter taste than with frozen berries. You’ll also have less excess liquid for a thicker popsicle consistency.
• Almond milk OR vanilla coconut yogurt. Either one will work in this recipe. It just depends on what type of popsicle you want. See below for more details!
• Liquid sweetener. For this recipe, I gravitate to agave nectar. However, 100% pure honey would work. See below for more details!
• Vanilla extract. I add 1-2 teaspoons, but I’ll add more if the flavor is too tart.

Notes on ingredients

• Almond milk (or other dairy alternative) versus vanilla coconut yogurt: Almond milk will produce a thinner texture and a softer flavor. I often add a splash of lemon juice when I make these popsicles with almond milk to brighten the flavor and prevent it from tasting flat. Popsicles made with a dairy-free milk alternative may also melt faster. With the vanilla coconut yogurt, the flavor is more tart, the consistency is thicker and creamier, slower to melt, and likely doesn’t require lemon juice.
• Liquid sweetener: The liquid sweetener is included not only for flavor but also for consistency. So if you decide to use a sweetener like a few drops of stevia, then you may need to add more almond milk or yogurt to compensate for the difference in amounts. I have not tried this with 100% pure maple syrup, however that is another option.

How to make Dairy-Free Blueberry Popsicles

1. To a high-speed blender add the fresh blueberries, almond milk or vanilla coconut yogurt, liquid sweetener, and vanilla extract. Include the splash of lemon juice, too, if including. Blend on LOW, increasing to HIGH, until smooth.
2. Pour into popsicle moulds and carefully insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mould. Freeze for at least four hours to overnight.
3. To remove the popsicles from their moulds, run them under cool water to slightly soften. Then carefully rock the popsicle stick from left to right until the popsicle releases from the mould.
4. Consume within about a week.

Best practices

• Taste test as you go. These Dairy-Free Blueberry Popsicles are easily customizable to taste. Before pouring the mixture into the popsicle moulds, add more or less of each ingredient to get the taste and texture you desire.
• To loosen the frozen popsicles, run the mould until cool water instead of hot water. This prevents the popsicle from melting while still in the mould.
• Rock the popsicle stick from side to side rather than front to back. This makes it less likely the stick will break as you release the popsicle.

More treats to devour!
