Refreshing Strawberry Coconut Popsicles
Beat the heat with these delightful Strawberry Coconut Popsicles! Made with just two simple ingredients, these treats are both creamy and fruity, making them the perfect way to cool off on a warm day.
Ingredients
- 11 ounces coconut milk
- 2 cups strawberries (pureed)
- Sweetener (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: In a blender, puree the fresh strawberries. Taste them to check for sweetness. If you are using frozen strawberries, you may need to add some sweetener to achieve your preferred flavor.
- Taste Coconut Milk: Check the coconut milk for sweetness. If desired, mix in sweetener to taste.
- Fill Molds: Pour the coconut milk into popsicle molds, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Add Strawberry Puree: Slowly add the pureed strawberries into the molds until nearly full. Use a knife to swirl the strawberry mixture throughout the coconut milk. Push down to distribute the strawberry evenly.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for 4–6 hours.
- Enjoy: Once frozen solid, remove the popsicles from the molds and enjoy your refreshing treat!
Storage Tips for Your Popsicles
- Freeze Solid: Ensure that the popsicles are fully frozen before attempting to store them.
- Wrap Individually: After removing them from the molds, wrap each popsicle in plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent freezer burn.
- Use Airtight Bag: Place the wrapped popsicles in a large, airtight plastic bag, squeezing out as much air as possible before sealing.
- Store Correctly: Keep the bag at the back of your freezer to maintain a consistent temperature.
Extra Tips:
- Label your bag with the date for reference.
- Avoid overfilling your molds; leave some space for expansion during freezing.
Quick Tip for Easy Release
To quickly release the popsicles, dip the molds into lukewarm water for about 1-2 minutes. This will help loosen them for easy removal.
