Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Popsicle molds and sticks
  • Optional: A pinch of sea salt in each fruit layer to deepen flavor

Instructions

  1. Puree the strawberries with honey and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Pour about 1/3 cup (80 ml) of the puree into each popsicle mold, filling one third of the way.
  2. Freeze for 30-40 minutes or until firm to the touch but not rock solid.
  3. Whisk together the coconut milk, shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
  4. Once the red layer is firm, gently spoon or pour about 1/3 cup (80 ml) of the coconut mixture over it. Freeze again for another 30-40 minutes.
  5. Blend blueberries with honey and lemon juice until smooth. Pour this final layer over the frozen coconut layer, filling molds to the top.
  6. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set.
  7. To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen popsicles before carefully pulling them out.

Notes

Freeze each layer until firm but not rock hard to prevent mixing. Pour layers gently to maintain distinct stripes. Use full-fat coconut milk for creaminess or light coconut milk for a lighter version. Frozen berries should be thawed slightly before blending. Optional pinch of sea salt enhances flavor. For vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.
