A refreshing frozen treat blending sweet pineapple, creamy coconut, and zesty lime.
# What You'll Need:
→ Fruit & Juice
01 - 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (about 1/2 medium pineapple)
02 - 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
→ Coconut Mixture
03 - 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (well shaken)
04 - 1/4 cup coconut cream
05 - 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey (to taste)
06 - 1 tsp grated lime zest
# Directions:
01 - In a blender, combine pineapple chunks and lime juice. Blend until completely smooth, then set aside.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut milk, coconut cream, maple syrup or honey, and lime zest until well combined.
03 - Alternate spooning or pouring layers of pineapple puree and coconut mixture into popsicle molds. Use a skewer or thin knife to gently swirl the layers for a marbled effect, if desired.
04 - Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully solid.
05 - To unmold, briefly run the outside of the popsicle molds under warm water, then carefully remove popsicles. Serve immediately and enjoy!
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It is an incredibly creamy treat that happens to be completely dairy free.
- The balance of tangy lime and sweet coconut feels like a tiny vacation.
02 -
- Ensure your coconut milk is at room temperature to prevent it from seizing up when mixed.
- Swirling too much will muddy the colors, so just a gentle pass through is best.
03 -
- Run the molds under warm water for exactly ten seconds for the easiest release.
- Taste your pineapple puree before mixing to ensure it is sweet enough.
