These popsicles wow with ripe blackberry and sweet vanilla flavors. The berries get mashed up with the softened ice cream, giving the finished Blackberry Root Beer Float Popsicles a beautiful color and some texture, too.
Recipe by Molly from dunkandcrumble.com
3-4 oz ripe blackberries. fresh or frozen, thawed
1 to 1.5 cup vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
1 cup root beer
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, mash the blackberries with a fork until smushed but chunky. Add the ice cream and gently mash to combine, leaving some white streaks here and there.
Step 2
Use a small spoon or fork to distribute the blackberry ice cream mixture into popsicle molds (I got 6 pops out of the mixture), leaving about an inch or two of space at the top of the mold.
Step 3
Pour the root beer into the molds to top them off, pushing the ice cream down with a fork to evenly distribute, if necessary.
Step 4
Place popsicle sticks in the molds and freeze the popsicles for a few hours, until firm.
Notes
If you need to, run the molds under a bit of hot water to loosen the popsicles before enjoying!
