Ingredients
Berry Purees
- 1 cup Blueberries washed
- 1 cup Strawberries washed and hulled
Flavor Enhancers
- 2 tsp Cumin Seeds roasted and ground
- 1/4 tsp Salt black, or to taste
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
- 2 tsp Chaat Masala
- 2-4 tbsp Water as needed
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the washed blueberries, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp black salt, 1 tsp chaat masala, and 1 tsp roasted and ground cumin seeds.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend until smooth. Adding water gradually helps create a smoother puree.
- Hull and roughly chop the strawberries. In the blender, combine the strawberries with the remaining 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp chaat masala, and 1 tsp roasted cumin.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend until smooth. Adjust black salt to taste in both purees.
- Layer the purees in your ice pop molds. Start with a layer of strawberry puree, then add a layer of blueberry puree. Repeat the layers for a visually appealing swirl effect.
- Freeze the ice pops for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow them to fully solidify.
- Once frozen, gently remove the ice pops from the molds. For easier removal, briefly run the molds under warm water. Sprinkle with a pinch of chaat masala for an extra tangy kick before serving.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra layer of flavor, lightly mash some of the berries before blending to create juicy pockets within the lollies.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the berry mixture through a fine sieve before pouring into molds to remove seeds and skins.
- To make a vegan creamy version, substitute half the water with coconut milk.
- For a fun presentation, drop a few whole berries into each mold before freezing.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the sweetness by adding a touch of honey or maple syrup to the berry mixture before freezing.
- Use a variety of berries for a complex flavor profile and vibrant color. Consider combining strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
- For faster freezing, spread the lollies in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring them to an airtight container.
Storage Instructions
- Store the berry lollies in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
