Steps:
- Take the berries out of the freezer to thaw. Bring the milk, 1/4 cup water, sugar, thyme and a pinch of salt to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Let cool completely at room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
- Put 2 cups of the blueberries and the lemon juice in a blender. Strain the cooled milk mixture into the blender, pressing on it with a wooden spoon to extract as much flavor from the thyme as possible; discard the thyme. Puree the blueberry mixture until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender partway through if needed. Transfer the mixture to a large liquid measuring cup with a pouring spout. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries.
- Pour the mixture into the ice-pop molds, leaving at least 1/4 inch of space at the top (the mixture will expand). Insert the sticks. Freeze until solid, 5 hours to overnight. Unmold, and enjoy immediately.

Steps:
- Make lemon ice cream:
- Transfer ice cream to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 30 percent power in 10-second intervals, stirring, until softened, about 50 seconds total (see cooks' note, below).
- Stir in lemon zest and juice. Spread ice cream thinly in a 13-by 9-inch baking dish and freeze while making compote and sandwich layers.
- Make blueberry compote:
- Cook blueberries, sugar, and zest in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat, thoroughly crushing blueberries with a potato masher, until juices are released and sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes.
- Stir together lemon juice and cornstarch, then stir into blueberry mixture. Boil, stirring, 1 minute (mixture will thicken).
- Transfer blueberry compote to a bowl and chill until cold, about 1 hour. Discard lemon zest.
- Make sandwich layers while compote chills:
- Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle. Butter baking pans and line with foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on each side, then butter foil.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Beat together butter and brown sugar in another bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. At low speed, add flour mixture in 2 batches, mixing until just combined.
- Divide batter between baking pans and spread into thin, even layers with offset spatula. Bake until golden-brown but still tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely in pans, about 30 minutes.
- Assemble sandwiches:
- Dollop tablespoons of blueberry compote all over ice cream, then swirl it gently through ice cream with a spoon. Spoon all of ice cream over 1 sandwich layer (in pan) and spread evenly using clean offset spatula. Invert second sandwich layer over ice cream, pressing gently to form an even sandwich. Wrap baking pan in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Transfer sandwich to a cutting board using overhang. Trim edges if desired, then cut into 8 pieces.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Fresh blueberries are ideal for this recipe, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before using.
- Make sure the yogurt is thick: Greek yogurt or strained yogurt is best for this recipe, as it will hold its shape better than regular yogurt.
- Sweeten the yogurt to taste: If you like your ice pops sweeter, you can add some honey, maple syrup, or sugar to the yogurt before freezing.
- Use a variety of toppings: You can top your ice pops with a variety of different toppings, such as granola, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit.
- Freeze the ice pops for at least 4 hours: The ice pops will need at least 4 hours to freeze solid. You can freeze them for longer if you want them to be harder.
Conclusion:
These blueberry swirl ice pops are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for summer. They are also a healthy snack that is packed with nutrients. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these ice pops at home in no time. So next time you're looking for a cool and refreshing snack, give these blueberry swirl ice pops a try!
