Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Layer
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (roughly chopped and lightly packed)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Coconut Layer
- 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 6 tablespoons coconut cream syrup (divided)
Instructions
- Blend strawberries: In a small food processor, blend the strawberries with 2 tablespoons of coconut cream syrup until smooth and liquid. Transfer the mixture to a small liquid measuring cup for easier pouring.
- Fill molds with strawberry mixture: Divide the strawberry blend evenly among 8 ice pop molds. Freeze until the top feels set, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Mix coconut layer: Pour the coconut milk into a liquid measuring cup and stir in 2 tablespoons of coconut cream syrup until well combined. Divide this mixture evenly among the chilled molds over the strawberry layer.
- Freeze coconut layer: Chill the molds again until the coconut layer is set, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Blend blueberries: In a small food processor, combine the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut cream syrup until smooth and liquid. Transfer to a liquid measuring cup.
- Add blueberry layer: Divide the blueberry mixture evenly among the chilled molds on top of the coconut layer.
- Insert sticks: Insert a wooden craft stick into the center of each filled mold to serve as a handle. Ensure it is centered for easy removal later.
- Freeze completely: Chill the ice pops until completely frozen, at least 2 hours or preferably overnight for best results.
- Release pops: To remove the ice pops from the molds, run warm water over the outside of each mold while gently pulling on the wooden stick until the pop slips out easily.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture.
- Coconut cream syrup adds natural sweetness; adjust quantity for desired sweetness.
- Be sure to chill layers until set before adding the next to achieve distinct layers.
- To speed up freezing, place molds in the back of the freezer where it’s coldest.
- For easy removal, run warm water briefly but avoid soaking the molds.
- These ice pops are best enjoyed within a week for optimal freshness.
