The Very Blueberry Mascarpone Push Up Pops

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Tomorrow is my “I am NOT 60, yet,” birthday. I know it’s just a number, but I am looking ahead to a long year of being just 59. I am also looking forward to celebrating my day with my family, but before I indulge myself with cake and gifts I want to give you, my dear readers, a present. Woohoo, it’s give away time. Just a simple thank you for hanging with me these past few years. I know it hasn’t been easy, but you did it!

It surprises me just how many people read my blog and I am especially grateful for the sharing. After all there are a million blogs out there with tons of recipes to choose from and photos to drool over. Why use up your precious time reading mine? I don’t know, but I sure do appreciate it. So thanks.

I hope you love push-up pops as much as I do. I originally bought these sturdy little devices a few years ago to create desserts for my daughter’s bridal shower. Filled with poundcake, lemon curd, mascarpone and blueberries, they were a big hit. What you fill them with is only limited by your imagination (and Pinterest). A couple of great things about these containers is that they are dish-washer safe and completely re-usable. They also come with these tidy little caps which makes your desserts easily totable, so would you like to win some brand new ones?

No hoops to jump through. Just leave me a comment. Say anything you want (just keep it clean). I will choose two winners at random and each will receive a complete set of 8 push-up pop containers. Happy Easter, Spring and You.

    Happy ‘I’m not 60 yet’, Lisa … have to admit, that was a tough one for me. Those lemon blueberry delights might ease the sting a little 😉

    Happy happy birthday dear Lisa! Yes, 60 is a big one…the only one that made me gulp, so far…but it’s a fabulous decade in spite of the big number :-). I’m proud to be 63!! Why do I read your blog? Because I love where you come from, hearing about the inspiration from your Sweet William, and your words inspire and touch so many. You are doing something positive and worthwhile with your grief (which I do, too)…so glad I saved that episode of Chopped so I could look you up and connect with you. Happy Easter, and happy birthday! Love and hugs to you!

    Lisa, you are an inspiration to me every single day! Happy Easter!
    I would so love to win the push-ups! They so reminds me of being a small girl and going with my daddy (and sisters!) to the store where he would buy all of us those orange push-ups with the little paper wrappers over the top. 🙂

    Lisa- I want to wish you a happy birthday first of all! I,too, entered that “not quite 60” zone on March 10 with a birthday of my own! I love reading your recipes , and thanks for sharing your family photos and stories. This pop up recipe is particularly interesting, as its flexibility appeals to me now that I am, sadly, restricted to a gluten free diet. I can combine any elements in these cylinders for a unique taste. Can’t wait to play- Thank you!!

    Welcome home and Happy Easter. Will keep watch for your birthday dolphin tomorrow. I got the greatest card from my sister for #59. It’s a cartoon picture of a middle aged woman all dolled up, makeup, jewelry, reading glasses with chain,etc. She is holding a sign which she points to:
    “I don’t want to brag…but I can still fit into the earrings I wore in high school!”
    Love You kiddo.
