Ingredients
  

Blueberry Sauce

  • 250 g fresh blueberries – washed and drained
  • 60 g granulated sugar – adjust to taste
  • 5 g lemon juice – optional adds a refreshing brightness

Blueberry Cheese Filling

  • 300 g heavy cream – for whipping adds a smooth, creamy texture
  • 40 g fine granulated sugar – to sweeten the cream
  • 300 g cream cheese – soften ahead of time for smoother mixing
  • 140 g blueberry sauce – use the sauce made above
  • blueberry sauce – as needed for the molten center

Chocolate Shell

  • 180 g dark chocolate – use good quality for better flavor
  • 60 g coconut oil – helps melt and set the chocolate
  • 25 g crushed peanuts – optional adds crunch and nutty flavor

Instructions
 

Make the blueberry sauce

  • Wash and drain 250g blueberries.
  • Add to a saucepan with 60g sugar. Use a spatula or masher to press the berries and release the juice.
  • Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Cook until thickened.
  • Stir in 5g lemon juice (optional), then let the sauce cool.

Prepare the blueberry cheese filling

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 300g heavy cream and 40g sugar. Whip until thickened – it should slowly drip from the beater.
  • In another bowl, beat 300g softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
  • Add 140g cooled blueberry sauce and mix until evenly combined.
  • Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese-blueberry mixture until smooth and airy.

Assemble and freeze

  • Transfer the blueberry cheese mixture to a piping bag.
  • Pipe the mixture into popsicle molds until halfway full.
  • Add a spoonful of reserved blueberry sauce in the center for the molten core.
  • Continue piping to fill the molds completely. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
  • Insert popsicle sticks.
  • Freeze for at least 4 hours until solid.

Make the chocolate shell

  • In a heatproof bowl, add 180g dark chocolate and 60g coconut oil.
  • Place the bowl over a pot of hot water (do not boil) and stir until fully melted and smooth.
  • Stir in 25g crushed peanuts if using.

Coat and refreeze

  • Unmold the frozen popsicles by dipping the mold briefly in warm water.
  • Quickly dip each popsicle into the chocolate mixture to coat evenly.
  • Return to the freezer for a few more minutes until the shell is set.
  • Note: Be sure the popsicles are fully frozen before dipping, or the chocolate may not adhere well.
