Patriotic Popsicles

These patriotic popsicles are the perfect Fourth of July dessert! Red, white, and blue creamsicles with strawberry and blackberry inside! Yum!

Hey guys! I am so thrilled to be posting for the third year in a row in the Red, White, and Blue series hosted by my friend Mandy at Sugar Bee Crafts! The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays because it’s my dad’s birthday and because I just love all things patriotic. Plus, fireworks! Today I’m going to be sharing a super easy recipe for patriotic popsicles that are perfect to cool you down during those hot Fourth of July barbecues!

A few weeks ago, we went berry picking at a farm an hour away. It was the CUTEST little place, and it was so much fun. We picked strawberries and blackberries, and even brought home some peaches and red onions!

When we got home, I needed to come up with something yummy to make with all of those berries. Since it’s summer and it’s basically already 1,000 degrees here in Texas, I thought popsicles would be perfect!

These popsicles were a big hit at our house, and I am definitely going to be making this recipe again as we get closer to the 4th of July!
