Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 4 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the mixed berries and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove any stems or damaged parts.
- In a blender, combine the mixed berries, coconut cream, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and completely integrated, creating a uniform mixture.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup, blending briefly to incorporate.
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any berry seeds, ensuring a smooth texture. Use a spatula to press the mixture through the strainer.
- Carefully pour the strained mixture into popsicle molds, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold, ensuring they stand upright and are fully submerged in the mixture.
- Place the filled popsicle molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze completely, approximately 4 hours or overnight.
- To remove popsicles, run the molds briefly under warm water to loosen, then gently pull each popsicle out.
- Serve immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to one week.
Tips
- Choose fresh, ripe berries for maximum flavor and natural sweetness.
- Use full-fat coconut cream for the richest, creamiest texture.
- If you prefer less sweetness, start with 1 tablespoon of honey and adjust to taste.
- For a smoother texture, strain the mixture thoroughly to remove berry seeds.
- Use silicone popsicle molds for easier removal.
- Let popsicles sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving for easier unmolding.
- Experiment with different berry combinations to find your favorite mix.
- Store popsicles in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
