Berry Ice Cream Pops
If you're looking for a lighter alternative to ice cream, look no further! This super-simple Berry Ice Cream Pops recipe uses real creamer to give the treat that creamy taste without adding much in the way of calories or fat. The key is in the Coffee-mate Natural Bliss Low-fat Vanilla creamer -- when mixed with other good-for-you ingredients like real fruit and skim milk, you get an ice cream-like flavor with added nutritional benefits.
Note: When you make this recipe with frozen berries instead of fresh berries, you can actually serve it immediately as ice cream, as pictured below, courtesy of the Coffee-mate recipes page.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Coffee-mate Natural Bliss Low-fat Vanilla creamer
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 3 cups mixed berries (use frozen if you'd like to eat immediately as an "ice cream"
Instructions:
- Place all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.
- Spoon or pour mixture into Popsicle molds. If you don't have molds, use ice trays or small freezer-safe containers, just remember to place a craft stick into each container to use as a handle when frozen. If using frozen berries, you can serve the mixture immediately as "ice cream" or a smoothie.
- Freeze pops for at least four hours.
- Remove Berry Ice Cream Pops from the containers by running under warm water for about 10 seconds to loosen the pop from the mold.
