Instructions

To Make the Buttermilk Mixture:

In a small pot, gently warm the buttermilk and sugar, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Whisk in the vanilla bean paste until combined, and chill until completely cooled (about one hour).

To Make the Blackberry Mixture:

In a small pot, toss the blackberries with the sugar and cornstarch, until evenly coated.
Add the water and simmer over medium-low heat, until the mixture is thickened, but large chunks of fruit still remain.
Fold in the lemon zest and chill until completely cooled (about one hour).

To Make the Magic Shell:

Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a small bowl and microwave at 20 second intervals, stirring, until completely melted.

To Assemble the Popsicles:

Fill popsicle molds, alternating layers of the buttermilk mixture with the blackberry mixture, and chill in the freezer overnight, or until solid.
Dip frozen popsicles in magic shell, and enjoy!

Notes

There will be extra magic shell. It'll keep for months in a jar in your cupboard. Enjoy over ice cream! Or, make more popsicles ?
