Keto Berries and Cream Popsicles

These keto berries and cream popsicles are creamy, refreshing, and filled with fresh strawberries and blueberries. With only 2.6 net carbs per popsicle, they are an easy sugar-free frozen treat to keep stocked in the freezer whenever you are craving something cold and sweet.

Living in South Florida means frozen desserts are never really out of season in our house. When the temperatures climb, I would much rather reach for one of these homemade keto popsicles than turn on the oven.

The combination of cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, sour cream, and fresh berries gives these popsicles a rich, almost cheesecake-like creaminess, while a little lemon juice brightens the berry flavor.

Best of all, there is no cooking involved. Everything comes together in the blender in about 10 minutes before the freezer does the rest of the work.

If you enjoy berry desserts, be sure to also try my keto 5-minute berry ice cream for another easy low-carb frozen treat.

The combination of cream cheese, heavy cream, sour cream, and berries is what gives these keto fruit popsicles their rich, creamy texture.

Cream cheese: Full-fat cream cheese gives the popsicles their creamy, cheesecake-like texture. Allow it to soften before blending so the mixture becomes completely smooth.

Heavy whipping cream: Adds richness and helps prevent the popsicles from tasting watery or overly icy.

Sour cream: Adds a slight tang that balances the sweetness of the berries and cream.

Lemon juice: A small amount brightens the flavor of the strawberries and blueberries without making the popsicles taste lemony.

Fresh strawberries: Part of the strawberries are blended into the creamy base, while the remaining berries are folded in for little bites of fruit.

Fresh blueberries: Blueberries pair beautifully with strawberries and add another layer of berry flavor.

Granulated sugar substitute: Use your favorite keto-friendly sweetener. You can adjust the amount slightly depending on how sweet your berries are.

Can You Use Frozen Berries?

Yes. Although I prefer fresh berries for these keto popsicles, you can use unsweetened frozen berries when fresh berries are not available.

If using frozen strawberries, allow them to thaw slightly so they are easier to blend.

Keep in mind that frozen berries can release a little more moisture as they thaw, so the final texture may be slightly different.

Be sure to choose unsweetened frozen fruit with no added sugar.

Tools Needed For Keto Popsicles

One of the best things about this keto popsicles recipe is that you don't need any complicated equipment. With just a few basic kitchen tools, you can easily make your own homemade keto popsicles right at home.

• High-powered blender or food processor
• Popsicle molds plastic or metal molds
• Popsicle sticks (if not included with molds)
• Measuring cups
• Spatula or spoon

A good blender or food processor will help you achieve that smooth, creamy base that makes these low carb popsicles so satisfying. Popsicle molds are key for shaping and freezing, and they're easy to find and reuse all summer long.

Once you have these tools on hand, making your own low carb popsicle recipes becomes something you can do anytime a craving hits.

How To Make homemade Keto Popsicles

Making homemade keto popsicles is surprisingly simple.

Start by adding the softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, lemon juice, and sour cream to a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.

Add one cup of the sliced strawberries, ½ cup of the blueberries, and the sugar substitute. Blend again until the berries are fully incorporated into the creamy mixture.

Next, gently fold in the reserved ½ cup of strawberries and ½ cup of blueberries. Leaving some of the berries whole gives you little bursts of fruit throughout each popsicle.

Divide the mixture evenly among your popsicle molds and insert the sticks.

Freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid. Depending on the size of your molds and the temperature of your freezer, they may need a little longer.

Tips For The Best Keto Popsicles

A few simple steps will help give your homemade keto popsicles the best flavor and texture.

• Soften the cream cheese first. Cold cream cheese can leave small lumps in the mixture.
• Blend the creamy ingredients before adding the berries. This creates a smoother base.
• Taste the mixture before freezing. Frozen foods tend to taste less sweet, so the mixture should taste slightly sweeter before it goes into the freezer.
• Do not overfill the molds. Leave a little room at the top because the mixture will expand slightly as it freezes.
• Freeze until completely firm. Four hours is usually enough, but overnight works well when making them ahead.
• Use warm water to release the popsicles. Run only the outside of the mold under warm water for several seconds before gently pulling on the stick.

What Sweetener Is Best For Keto Popsicles?

You can use your favorite keto-friendly sugar substitute for these berries and cream popsicles.

A powdered sweetener will generally dissolve more easily than a coarse granulated sweetener and can help prevent a gritty texture once frozen.

If using a granulated sweetener, be sure to blend the mixture thoroughly so the sweetener has a chance to dissolve before freezing.

Since berries naturally vary in sweetness, I recommend tasting the mixture before filling the popsicle molds and adjusting the sweetener if needed.

How To Remove Popsicles From The Mold

Once the popsicles are completely frozen, run the outside of the mold under warm tap water for about 5 to 10 seconds.

Gently wiggle the popsicle stick and pull upward.

If the popsicle does not release easily, run the mold under warm water for another few seconds rather than forcing it.

How To Store Homemade Keto Popsicles

Once frozen solid, the popsicles can remain in their molds or be transferred to an airtight freezer-safe container.

If storing several popsicles together, place parchment or wax paper between them to help prevent them from sticking.

For the best flavor and texture, enjoy your homemade keto popsicles within two months.

Are Berries Keto-Friendly?

Berries can fit into a keto diet when portions are kept reasonable and counted as part of your daily carbohydrate intake.

Strawberries and blueberries add plenty of fruit flavor to these popsicles without requiring large quantities.

Since the berries are divided among 12 popsicles, each serving contains approximately 2.6 net carbs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Are My Homemade Popsicles So Hard?

Homemade sugar-free popsicles do not contain the same amount of sugar and stabilizers found in many traditional frozen desserts, so they can freeze quite firmly.

After unmolding, allow the popsicle to sit at room temperature for a minute or two if you prefer a slightly softer texture.
