Natural Strawberry Coconut Ice Pops

These Strawberry Coconut Ice Pops are all natural and packed with flavour. No refined sugars. The perfect way to beat the heat this summer.

Prep Time 20 minutes
Additional Time 4 hours
Total Time 4 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 250-300g (2 cups) strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 360ml (1½ cups) coconut milk, full fat
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  1. Add the strawberries and the honey to a small saucepan, and heat gently to a simmer over a medium heat until the strawberries are soft. Remove from the heat and using a fork or a potato masher, mash the strawberries until the desired consistency. I liked a few larger chunks in there too, just not too large as they will sink. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  2. In a bowl or a large jug, mix the coconut milk and the vanilla bean paste.
  3. Spoon some of the coconut milk mixture into the ice pop moulds, followed by some of the strawberry mixture until almost full, allowing a little room for the pop to expand during freezing.
  4. Repeat step 3 with the remaining pops, add the lolly sticks then freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Notes

Notes:

It’s best to use a regular ice pops mould with this recipe. I used this mold. The Zoko does not work well for these ice pops as it's designed to freeze on contact, creating air bubbles on the sides resulting in holes. Yes, we tried those at the same time.

    Man I wish I could go on vacation and take a cooler full of these popsicles with me! The new school year is starting up over here too and since I work at a college it is going to get real crazy real fast. >_< I'd love to just hide for one more week with popsicles instead of going to work, they look amazing, Lisa! :D

    Hey! We can be exotic, right? They look fab though, perfection in a wee lolly mould. Good luck to your little 'uns starting high school, how exciting!
