We love blueberries. And I love coffee. So today we are combining those 2 loves and creating Creamy Blueberry Shortcake Latte Popsicles! These will be great for the summer when you need a little caffeine but also want to get relief from the heat. This is a multi-step recipe and there are times you’ll need to take breaks. You need to make your cold brew at least 12 hours before you need it. And you will need to freeze the pops for at least an hour before you move on to the last step. So plan on making these 2 days ahead of time.
Here is everything you’ll need to make these at home –
7 Blueberry Shortcake K Cups
56 ounces of water
3/4 Cup Cold Water
1/4 Cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/4 Cup Milk
Fresh Blueberries
Popsicle Molds
2 days from when you would like to enjoy these little pieces of heaven you will need to make the cold brew coffee. If you want to make it the traditional way, follow the steps below. If you want a short cut or are short on time you can brew the Blueberry Shortcake Kcups on the smallest cup setting and then place in the refrigerator to chill. You can cut the cold brew process from 12-14 hours down to about 4 hours.
To make a traditional cold brew, cut open 7 Blueberry Shortcake K Cups and pour them into a pitcher. Then add 56 ounces of water and gently stir. Cover and let steep in the refrigerator overnight or for about 14 hours. If you need to take a shortcut because you don’t have overnight brew the kcups on the smallest setting and then chill.
Once your coffee has steeped overnight, now it’s time to remove the grounds. This can be a smidge messy so be prepared. You’ll need a fine mesh strainer, coffee filter, and another pitcher. Place the filter into the strainer and position it over the empty pitcher. Now, pour the contents of the full pitcher through the strainer and filter. Remember, pour small amounts at a time. The coffee needs to work its way through the filter and strainer into the empty pitcher.
Put the ground free coffee back in the refrigerator until we are ready to make the popsicles. Be sure to cover it! It will last about a week in the fridge.
Next, it’s time to make the creamy part of the popsicle.
I prefer using a 4 cup glass measuring cup because it’s easy to pour into your popsicle molds. First, pour 1 1/2 cups of the Blueberry Shortcake Cold Brew into the measuring cup. Then add the 3/4 cup cold water and mix well.
Now we are going to pour half the mixture into another measuring cup with a spout. Split it evenly between the 2 cups.
Next, add the milk and sweetened condensed milk to one of the measuring cups and stir until well mixed. Place the other measuring cup in the refrigerator for later.
Take your popsicle molds and get ready to pour!
Fill the popsicle molds with the creamy milk mixture until they are 1/3 to 1/2 full. Drop a few blueberries in the mold too and place in the freezer.
You want this layer to set up so anywhere from an hour to 2 hours until they are frozen. Once they are frozen remove from the freezer and it’s time for the final step.
Remove your leftover cold brew mixture from the fridge and finish filling the popsicle molds. Drop a few more blueberries, add the popsicle stick and place back in the freezer until frozen solid.
Once they are frozen, enjoy!
