For everyone who misses the summer, I have something special! What would you say about blueberry popsicles?
Let me share one of my favourite recipes. I don’t think that the only summer is the best season for enjoying the ice-creams, but I think every day is perfect for this kind of treat. It’s super delicious, sugar-free, gluten-free and perfect for the KETO diet.
Popsicles and KETO
Maybe you are wondering how to make an ice-cream good for your body and diet, but there is an easy solution. The only one thing which is making any dessert keto is a lack of adding sugar! You can always use natural sweeteners. For this recipe I used Xylitol, but I am sure the popsicles would be perfect with any kind of sweetener. There is always a question about fruits as they are also containing some amount of sugar. I use fruit as a natural treat and I don’t take it too seriously. But If you are strictly on the KETO diet you should check which fruit is allowed to be consuming.
Goat Cheese
When I was younger I wasn’t a huge fan of goat’s products, but I have to admit that as my taste has changed I love them all. The taste and smell are slightly stronger, but it’s full of good benefits for your body. For example, goat cheese is rich in protein and easier to digest than cow’s milk. Also, it’s an immunity booster and full of good fats and acids. Did you know that goat’s products are also good for weight loss? Yuppie!!
How to make blueberry goat cheese popsicles?
If you don’t want to use any fruit”s base it’s absolutely fine, make only the main cheese base. For the blueberry swirl, you will need to make blueberry puré, so before freezing you will heat up a pan with blueberries and sweetener. It’s a similar cooking process during jam making.
The main popsicle base is goat cheese mixed with coconut milk, cream cheese, vanilla extract, sweetener and lemon juice. Don’t forget to have ice cream moulds!
