Cuisine: American, Mexican
Ingredients
Infused Cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup cream (light or heavy, optionally replace with more milk)
- 2 teaspoons dried lavender
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Blackberry Purée
- 2 cups fresh Driscoll's Organic Blackberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ to 1 small meyer lemon, juiced
- ½ meyer lemon, zest
Finishing
- whole Driscoll's Organi Blackberries
- Popsicle Mold & Sticks
Instructions
Start with the infused cream...
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine milk, cream, sugar, lavender and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Note: This amount of lavender gives a fairly strong flavor. Reduce amount before steeping if you prefer less.
- Remove from heat and strain. Discard lavender buds.
- Chill cream mix until cold. (I put mine in the freezer for 5-10 minutes)
Blackberry Purée
- Combine whole organic blackberries, sugar, meyer lemon juice and zest in blender.
- Puree until smooth.
- Strain well and reserve juice.
Finishing
- I prefer to start by adding blackberry puree, followed by a couple whole berries, carefully layer cream on top and drop a few more berries inside.
- Add a bit of the remaining blackberry puree to the top.
- Place stick and freeze (preferably overnight).
- Enjoy!
