    I absolutely adore raspberries. They are my favorite berry but harder to get and more fragile than their more common cousins strawberries. There is something about that distinctive tang that makes my taste buds happy and it well worth negotiating a torn or two!

    Because of their fragile nature they can be somewhat more expensive than strawberries. However they make excellent frozen berries. If using in cooking or baking I find frozen berries work just as well as fresh berries and is a much more economical option. So I use frozen berries in these popsicles that have been defrosted. If you can get your hands on enough fresh raspberries you can absolutely use those instead.

    Like my strawberry popsicles these raspberry pops are sweetened with maple syrup so there's no refined sugar. They have a real punch of raspberry so if you don't like really strongly flavored things you could replace half the raspberries with strawberries which will tone down the flavor a bit.

    Ingredients

    Raspberry popsicle ingredients, lime, frozen raspberries and maple syrup.

    Raspberries: you can use fresh or frozen raspberries in this recipe. If you can get raspberries cheaply when in season you can use fresh. You can sometimes get jamming raspberries cheap which are absolutely fine to use. Failing that I find frozen raspberries are a cheap alternative to fresh and makes these easy fruit popsicle a year round treat.

    Lime juice: freshly squeezed lime juice is best for this recipe. I do not recommend using bottled lime juice, it won't taste the same. The lime juice helps add some brightness to this recipe and balance out the sweetness. You could also use lemon juice.

    Maple syrup: some maple syrup helps add sweetness to these popsicles without refined sugar and keeps them a vegan treat. You may want to add more or less syrup depending on how sweet your raspberries are. You could use honey for a non vegan option or two to three tablespoons of white sugar if you are ok with refined sugar.

    How to make raspberry popsicles

    If you are using frozen raspberries allow them to defrost first. Otherwise check your fresh berries to make sure they are all ok.

    • Slicing lime to juice.
    • Adding lime juice to popsicle mix.

    Cut the lime in half and juice one half.

    Put the raspberries into a deep jug you can use a stick/immersion blender in or a food processor. Add the lime juice and maple syrup and blitz very well until the mix is nice and smooth.

    • Adding maple syrup to popsicle mix.
    • Blitzing popsicle mix with a stick/immersion blender.

    For smoother popsicles you can strain out the seeds if you like, but I like to leave mine in for a slightly healthier whole food treat.

    Hot tip: make sure there is enough room in your freezer for your popsicle molds before filling them or there will be tears!

    • Pouring popsicle mix into molds.
    • Filled popsicle molds ready to add sticks and freeze.

    Pour into popsicle molds and add sticks. Freeze for at least four hours, or until firm.

    How to serve

    To serve remove from the popsicle molds and enjoy!

    How to store

    These popsicles will store well in an airtight container with some baking paper between them to stop them sticking together for up two months, but I very much doubt they will last that long 🙂
