Ingredients
For the Blackberry Layer:
- 12 oz fresh blackberries
- 1 1/2 tablespoon water
- sugar to taste if berries aren't sweet enough
For the Cheesecake Layer:
- 6 oz cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lime zest optional - if desired
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Add the blackberries and water to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring periodically, for about 10 - 15 minutes, or until they are easily broken with a wooden spoon. Taste and add sugar to sweeten if needed. Stir sugar in and cook until dissolved.
- Pour the berry mixture into a powerful blender, such as a Blendtec, and puree until very smooth. I ran the "whole juice" pre-programmed functioin on my blender. After blended, cover and refrigerate the blackberry puree until cool, at least 30 minutes.
- While the blackberry mixture refrigerates, beat the cream cheese, milk, lime juice, zest (if using), vanilla, and sugar using a hand mixer or puree with a small food chopper until smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator until blackberry mixture has cooled.
- To assemble popsicles, layer the blackberry puree and cream cheese mixture in popsicle molds. Place popsicle sticks in the center and freeze until solid.
- If necessary, run hot water over the outside of the molds to assist in removing the pops before serving.
Notes
- A high powered blender will crush the seeds, but if you prefer a completely smooth fruit layer with no bits of seeds then strain the blackberry puree through a fine mesh strainer.
- Layering Options: We experimented with a couple layering techniques. I preferred #1 with smaller amounts of each layered more frequently, while Eric preferred #3. 1. Cream Cheese, Blackberry, Cream Cheese, Blackberry 2. Blackberry, Cream Cheese, Blackberry 3. Combine the two mixtures and swirl together.
