BLUEBERRY PIE POPS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out one of the pie crusts to 1/8-inch thick; cut 16 3-inch circles from the crust. Line 16 mini muffin cups in a 24-cup mini muffin pan with the crust circles. Refrigerate to chill, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, roll out the other crust to 1/8 inch thick, and cut out 16 2 1/2-inch circles; lay the 16 circles onto the prepared baking sheet, and refrigerate.
• Mix together the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest, and cornstarch in a bowl. Stir in the blueberries, and toss lightly to coat with the sugar mixture. Whisk the egg in a small separate bowl. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of blueberry mixture into each crust-lined muffin cup (don't overfill). Place a cookie pop stick horizontally into the filled pop so the end sticks out by several inches. With a pastry brush, dab a little beaten egg evenly around the edge of the filled crust; place a 2 1/2-inch top crust circle onto the filled crust, and pinch edges together to seal in the filling and close the crust around the stick. With a toothpick, poke 3 or 4 steam holes into the top crust. Brush top of each pie pop with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before gently removing from muffin tin cups. To help pops release, run a small knife around the edges and under stick.

BLUEBERRY CREAM POPS

Steps:

• For sugar syrup, in a small saucepan, combine sugar and water; bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cool completely., Meanwhile, in a bowl, coarsely mash blueberries; stir in cream and sugar syrup. Spoon into molds or paper cups. Top molds with holders. If using cups, top with foil and insert sticks through foil. Freeze until firm. To serve, let pops stand at room temperature 10 minutes before unmolding.

BLUEBERRY CREAM POPSICLES

Steps:

• In a medium pot, toss the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar and salt to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the mixture becomes juicy, 4 to 5 minutes. (Add 2 to 4 minutes of cook time if you're using frozen, unthawed berries.
• Transfer to the bowl of a food processor or blender and cool for 10 minutes. Purée the mixture until relatively smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the sweetened condensed milk and blend until combined, 20 to 30 seconds. Scrape the bowl well.
• Add the heavy cream and process until the mixture is well combined and thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the sour cream and vanilla and blend until fully incorporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute. If necessary, transfer the mixture to a large container with a spout, such as a 4-cup/1-liter liquid measuring cup. Divide the mixture between the popsicle molds, filling each just under the rim of the cavity of the mold. Gently press a popsicle stick into the center of each cavity and freeze until firm, at least 8 hours.
• To unmold, gently run warm water over the base of the molds. They should easily release. Keep frozen until ready to serve.
