Ingredients

  • 1. 1 cup heavy cream 2. 8 oz mascarpone cheese 3. 1/4 cup granulated erythritol (or a keto
  • friendly sweetener of choice) 4. 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 5. 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries) 6. Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, gently toss the mixed fresh berries with a touch of the mascarpone mixture to lightly coat them. Reserve some whole berries for garnish.
  3. Fill popsicle molds or silicone ice cube trays about 80% full with the remaining mascarpone mixture, leaving space for the berries. Insert sticks if using molds, and gently press a few coated berries into each compartment.
  4. Freeze until solid, at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. To serve, briefly run warm water over the bottom of the molds or trays to help release the Dream Pops. Place on individual plates and garnish with whole, fresh berries.
