Artisan Popsicle Recipes

When you need cheesecake but it's too hot to bake, these creamy chèvre cheesecake popsicles marbled with fresh blueberry compote and topped with crumbled gluten-free graham crackers satisfy on the warmest of days. Thanks to Vermont Creamery for sponsoring this post!

When I was nineteen, I spent a few delicious days in the Loire Valley touring castles, fawning over the scenery, and falling in love...

After each meal, a cart laden with local delicacies would be wheeled to the table. The regional specialty was aged goat cheese the likes of which I'd never before tasted. They came in different shapes and sizes, each geometric beauty boasting a center of crumbly chèvre, an aged outer rind sometimes rolled in ash to give it a blue-gray hue, and in the middle of the two, a gooey layer similar to baked brie. I was smitten.

Back in the US I looked in vain for something similar, eventually giving up and making do with cheddars, bries, and goudas (did I mention I really like cheese?) It wasn't until a friend brought a Vermont Creamery Bonne Bouche home from the fancy food show a few years ago that I discovered my cheese soul mate.

It should have been no surprise that the co-founder of Vermont Creamery, Allison Hooper, also had a torrid love affair with the cheeses of France. She modeled hers after those traditional gems when she founded the creamery in the mid-80's. Since then, Vermont Creamery has accrued over 100 awards for their dairy, and when you taste it, you'll know why. Their butter is cultured, European-style, full of rich flavor and boasting a golden hue. Their crème fraiche is thick enough to stand a spoon up in; the vanilla bean version is worthy of eating straight from the carton. And their aged cheeses – Cremant, Coupole, Bijou, and St. Albans – rival my taste memory of that summer in France. No small feat.

In addition to aged cheeses, Vermont Creamery sells award-winning fresh goat cheese that boasts a clean, bright flavor and creamy-crumbly texture. I've used their classic chèvre in mac and cheese, pizza, pasta, and salads, and I also love it in sweet applications. Vermont Creamery recently released versions flavored with smoky pepper jelly, clover blossom honey, and blueberry lemon & thyme, the latter of which inspired these popsicles.

Mexican Paletas Recipe

Adding chèvre to cheesecake plays up the savory-sweet notes inherent in the dessert, and this frozen version keeps your kitchen and yourself cool on a hot day. Blueberries simmered with a bit of sugar and lemon and pureed into a simple compote offset a creamy base of chèvre, cream cheese, and milk flavored with lemon and vanilla. Swirl those together and top the pops with crumbled gluten-free graham crackers.The grahams soften in the freezer but maintain their toasty sweet flavor, making the pop taste like the most sophisticated cheesecake, frozen.

Last fall I had the pleasure of attending Cheese Camp – three blissful days spent with some of my favorite foodie friends (Sarah M, Sarah F, Michelle, Lily, Amanda, Judy, and Carey) exploring Vermont, enjoying local sips and bites, and (naturally!) gorging ourselves on cheese.

In addition to making delicious dairy, Vermont Creamery has been a certified B Corp since 2014 and continually develops new ways of supporting their employees, community, and the environment as best they can. They source their cow and goat dairy from small, local farms where the goats and cows are given plenty of space, fresh air, and good stuff to eat. The freshness of the milk translates into cheeses that boast clean, bright flavor, and by buying local, Vermont Creamery strengthens their community and saves on fossil fuels. A sustainability committee monitors water and energy usage, developing new ways of conserving both. 50% of the management roles in the company are filled by women, and employees are paid to volunteer at local organizations during work hours if they wish.

What do you know about paletas, ice pops, ice lollies, and popsicles? They’re all frozen treats on a stick, with an infinite list of possible ingredients. However, it is important to understand that “popsicles” is a trademarked word. I see so many recipes for popsicles, and I cringe.

Easy Homemade Popsicle Recipe Ideas For A Delicious Summer

POPSICLE® is a trademark now owned by Unilever. The first popsicles were created in the early nineteen hundreds. While I don’t necessarily agree with a 100 year old trademark, I do respect the law. We’ll not call these “popsicles” for that reason!

In putting together this collection of frozen confections, I looked for unique combinations of ingredients… You’ll not have a hard time finding a recipe for a strawberry ice pop, but have you ever tried jamon, golden milk, thyme, or black pepper in an ice pop?

I do have a fondness for including a bit of alcohol in my frozen desserts. Check out my Raspberry Double Chocolate Stout Sorbet, my Mulled Red Wine and Plum Sorbet, and my Blushing Apricot Sorbet With Fresh Thai Basil. Thus it seemed appropriate to include an “adult’s only” group of paletas and ice pops. Bourbon, tequila, wine, bitters, and even mezcal add complexity, flavor, and texture to these unique desserts!

“Ice pops” and “ice lollies” are common terms for these frozen treats. In Mexico, you’ll find “paletas.” In this list, you’ll find “paletas, ” “ice pops, ” and “popsicles.” It’s a curated list of wonderful frozen confections, so call them what you will!

Paletas are a quintessential Mexican treat, and differ from the typical ice pop in that they are made with fresh fruit and lots of it. They don’t have much liquid, and the mouth feel reflects that. Plus, they are considerably less sweet than their American counterparts.

The history of paletas in Mexico traces back to Tocumbo, Michoacan in the 1940’s. This is where a family paleta business, La Michoacana, flourished and spread to the rest of the country. Today, La Michoacana operates throughout Mexico and Tocumbo, and is known as the “land of paletas.” There’s even a gigantic monument to the paleta in the town entrance, and an annual paleta festival.
