Blackberry and Pomegranate Popsicles
What’s better than a popsicle in the summer? I decided to make these homemade Blackberry and Pomegranate Popsicles for my kids since it’s been so hot lately. These beautiful treats were for dessert tonight and my kids raved about them. My son said “They are definitely blog-worthy” and my daughter said, “They are way better than store-bought”. I’ll take that as a compliment! I loved that these popsicles have yogurt, fresh fruit, and much less sugar than regular store-bought popsicles!
Blackberry and Pomegranate Popsicles
Ingredients:
- 12 oz blackberries
- ¼ cup of water
- 2-3 tbsp sugar, depending on the sweetness of the berries
- Zest and 1 tsp juice from 1/2 a small lemon
- 32 oz vanilla yogurt
- 4.4 oz pomegranate seeds
How to Make Blackberry and Pomegranate Popsicles
Heat the water, sugar, blackberries, lemon juice, and zest in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Stir the berries often, mashing them, for 7-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes before pouring through a fine strainer.
Let the blackberry sauce cool completely.
Pour the yogurt into a bowl and mix in the pomegranate seeds well.
Pour a bit of the blackberry sauce, to taste, into the bowl of yogurt. Gently stir just a little bit to swirl the blackberry sauce with yogurt–don’t mix thoroughly.
Pour into each popsicle mold.
Place into the freezer for 24 hours. Enjoy.

I made some blackberry pops the other day too. These look so inviting and healthy.
These look wonderful! I love the color swirled through them. I cooked up a blackberry and raspberry cobbler the other day, and those cooked berries were magnificent.
These are so pretty and look delicious!
These look delicious & refreshing

Yummy. I’ll have to make these.
Yay for the Popsicles, and for sorting out your blog comments. Have a super weekend 🙂
SO pretty! the color is as lovely as they come, and pomegranate arils are always a magical addition!
I love it because the recipe has real fruits, not just flavorings or lots of sugar. I could just make it in my kitchen overnight and freeze them. The next morning the kids can enjoy it.
This looks so delicious! Love your food photography and details, really helps,
thank you so much for sharing
I am all about the popsicle this year as a healthy-ish after dinner treat. Love these berrylicious swirls!
