Blueberry Popsicles Using Fresh berries

Blueberry Popsicles is a healthy indulgence using fresh berries, again I am here with just three ingredient recipe today. I made this popsicle for last summer and due to laptop crash I couldn’t recover stepwise pictures. But you can check my blueberry frozen yogurt from where I followed the technique for pureeing the berries. Regarding molds I prefer this plastic cups they are very handy single serve cups and are easy to carry for parties/ potlucks as well. But you can use any mold as you prefer and you can check the video tutorial with this cups in my Mango Kulfi post.
