Sweet and tangy blueberry sauce swirling around in rich and creamy decadent frozen custard. You are going to love this frozen treat!
These Blueberry Frozen Custard Pops are so rich and creamy with bursts of delicious blueberries in every lick! It’s Mystery Dish day and Mary Frances from The Sweet {Tooth} Life is hosting this month! Last summer, I was so excited to share my cake mix cookie recipe with Mary Frances. She is such a doll! If you haven’t had a chance to hang out over there yet, be sure to head over and see all of her creativeness!
Here are the ingredients Mary Frances put together and challenged us Mystery Dish bloggers to choose at least 3 ingredients in each of our creations: clams, Ramen noodles, blueberries, heavy whipping cream, chocolate chunks, potato chips, kale, almond butter, chiles, and orange juice.
What would YOU love to create with these ingredients?? I had a few creations in mind.
And, creamy custard made with heavy whipping cream, infused with a blueberry sauce simmered with sugar, orange zest and juice from the orange was the one.
These Blueberry Frozen Custard Pops are so simple to make.
It takes less than 20 minutes to whip up before popping them into the freezer. The hardest part is just waiting to eat one (or two)!
Begin with the blueberry action… Let the blueberries, squeezed orange, zest and sugar simmer all while you get the custard going. Then the sauce and the custard will be done all at the same time! The custard is simple… and made with simple ingredients.
Cream and egg yolks are key to making this custard creamy smooth. With sugar to sweeten, cornstarch to add thickness, and a pinch of salt to enhances the sweetness.
Here’s the SO-easy part: combine all the ingredients in a heavy duty sauce pan. It will take about 10-15 minutes to thicken on medium heat. Take off the heat as soon as it starts to thicken. It will be like a creamy pudding consistency. Add vanilla extract and cold butter to the hot creamy custard. The blueberry sauce has done its magic all while the custard was cooking! Divide the decadent (warm) custard into little 3 ounce paper cups and spoon in as much of the blueberry sauce your little heart desires. Pop a stick in each one and do a little swirl action. The custard is thick enough to hold the stick in place. Pop in the freezer until completely frozen. Overnight in the freezer is best. But, if you’re like my husband and devour a few before they’re frozen… go for it! You will love these!

Nicole says
would it freeze just as nicely if i were to freeze it in pyrex or a pan and scoop it out like ice cream?
Gloria says
Yes. Be sure to cover the whole top surface (on the custard) with a plastic wrap before freezing. Hope you enjoy this yummy treat!
