These Mixed Berry Popsicles are low carb, make great fat bombs and are perfect for summer. They're simple, delicious and an excellent way to cool down in the summer.
Mixed Berry Popsicles
If you're looking for a way to beat the heat this summer, there are few ways as effective and satisfying as a nice cold popsicle. It's one of those summer treats that is timeless and satisfying no matter how old you get.
Popsicles are one of my favorite ways to cool down in the Texas heat, but oftentimes they are full of sugar and high in carbs, which is not something I welcome as part of my diet. That's why I set out to make these popsicles both delicious and low carb!
Not only are these popsicles keto, but they also make a fantastic fat bomb! Who said fat bombs have to be in a boring cup or truffle form all the time? Not me, that's for sure!
Berries are an excellent fruit to use minimally in low-carb cooking for BIG flavor. It doesn't take many to impart flavor throughout the entire recipe, which is good because if you get too much fruit, you really start to stack on the carbs and natural sugars. While natural sugars are better than refined ones, too much natural sugar is still a bad thing.
What's in These Berries and Cream Popsicles?
All you need to make these Mixed Berry Popsicles are frozen berries, heavy whipping cream, cottage cheese, Swerve or Truvia, and vanilla extract. The heavy whipping cream and cottage cheese help to make these Mixed Berry Popsicles a fat bomb and also make them creamy and delicious. It helps make the mixture smooth and not at all seedy. Pop them into some popsicle molds and in a few hours you'll have delicious Mixed Berry Popsicles.
If you use cottage cheese or cream cheese for this recipe, it won't be hard as a rock when it freezes like other low carb popsicles. These are truly creamy popsicles.
How To Make Low Carb Popsicles:
- Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend well.
- Pour into 6 popsicle molds and freeze for 4-6 hours.
- That's it! Pop them out of their molds and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks for Making Mixed Berry Ice Pops
- Try to leave some of the berries partially intact so you can have bites of fruit in each popsicle.
- You can substitute the cottage cheese in the recipe for ricotta or mascarpone cheese if you'd like. Cream cheese is another great option.
- You can make several of these, remove them from the molds and put them in bags so you can keep several of them in the freezer for whenever you get the urge for one. I used these disposable popsicle bags to store them in the freezer.
- You can find the popsicle molds I used HERE. However, I like these stackable molds better because they're easier to store in your freezer.
- Here are some low carb fruits and vegetables you can substitute in this recipe.

My neighbor is coming home after 3 months in the hospital and a skilled nursing facility. She requested sugar free popsicles, so I made these for her. Oh my gosh! They are sooooo good! I’m making some for myself next.
