I'm all about homemade popsicles and ice cream bars during the summer. They're so easy to make and store nicely in the freezer, so you have dessert at the ready any time guests drop by! (Or, in my case, when it's 10:00 at night and you have a hankering for ice cream!)
Blueberry goat cheese ice cream bars
When the ice cream craving hits, I usually go for nice cream (banana-based ice cream). But luckily, my dairy intolerance seems to have skipped goat cheese, so using it as a tangy base for desserts has become common practice in my kitchen.
Goat cheese is definitely an acquired taste, so these ice cream bars aren't going to be for everyone. But if you enjoy goat cheese, there is nothing better than pairing it with fruit and honey. And, in this case, the pairing happens in the blender to create a sweet and tart frozen treat!
What do you need to make blueberry goat cheese ice cream bars?
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 300 gram package of goat cheese
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
That's it!
How do you make blueberry goat cheese ice cream bars
Add all the ingredients to a blender and puree until everything is well combined. The mixture will be purple with flecks of blueberries. Pour into some popsicle molds, add a few popsicle sticks and place in the freezer for 5-6 hours, or until frozen.
Recipe tips
- I use a blender, but you can also whip the ingredients together with an electric mixer or food processor.
- If you don't have fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries will work too. Just make sure you defrost them first so they are easier to puree with the other ingredients.
- Sometimes, if I'm feeling extra fancy, I add a pinch of fresh thyme to the mixture as it pairs nicely with the goat cheese and blueberries.
- If I have it on hand, I sometimes add a sprinkle of granola to the tops of the bars before freezing them. The granola will actually be on the bottom of the bars when they come out of the molds.
- I used 3-ounce popsicle molds for this recipe, which resulted in five bars. You will get more or less depending on the size of your molds.
- If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use paper baking cups, and just peel them off once the ice cream is set up. (I've included pictures of both the popsicle mold and baking cup versions).
