¼ tsp. salt
3 cups Horizon® Organic Whole Milk with life’sDHA™ Omega-3
3 egg yolks
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Whisk in egg yolks and vanilla bean. Continue whisking over low heat for about 10 minutes until mixture resembles a pudding texture. Pour through cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve into bowl. Add vanilla extract and stir to combine. Place mixture in refrigerator for approximately 1 hour to thicken and cool.
5. Place blueberries in a small saucepan with maple syrup and bring to a boil over low heat. Let simmer for approximately 5 minutes, remove from heat and let cool slightly. Set aside.
6. Place lemon zest in half of ice pop molds and spoon blueberry syrup into other half.
