Strawberry Coconut Lime Popsicles
Strawberry Coconut Lime popsicles. A refreshing cold treat for hot summer days
Ingredients
- 2 cups full fat coconut milk
- ½ c strawberry puree **
- 1-2 tablespoon simple syrup optional
- Juice from half a large lime
- 2 cups strawberries stems removed, roughly chopped
Instructions
- For the strawberry puree combine 1 cup stemmed and hulled strawberries with 2 tablespoon sugar and ½ c water in a saucepan. Heat to a simmer and mash the berries to release their juices. Transfer to a blender and puree. Chill in an airtight container until cold, 2-3 hours. Can be made a day ahead of time. You will have some puree leftover for a second batch of popsicles.
- Combine the coconut milk, strawberry puree, simple syrup and lime juice in a blender and blend well. Add the chopped strawberries and pulse a few times just to chop the strawberries more, don’t blend them fully. You want little chunks of strawberries.
- Pour into popsicle molds and freeze at least 8 hours.
- To unmold the popsicles, run the bottom of the mold under lukewarm water until the popsicles start to release. Popsicles can be stored in the popsicle mold in your freezer or in a resealable freezer bag or container. I recommend in a freezer bag so you can reuse the popsicle mold immediately for more popsicles.
Notes
Simple syrup is a 1:1 ratio of sugar to water. Add one cup water to one cup sugar in a saucepan and heat until simmering and the sugar has dissolved. Keep in refrigerator in a jar or bottle with a tight lid. I keep a jar of simple syrup in my refrigerator at all times since it is great to have on hand for popsicles, cocktails etc.
