Coconut Lime Popsicles Recipe
The climate is really heating up over here, but we’re keeping it cool with lots of refreshing Salads, Drinks, and Frozen Treats. Things are also super hectic since my kiddo is home from school, so I like to keep it simple with minimal effort and ingredients.
These popsicles are a breeze to create and call for common kitchen staples. The toughest part is waiting for them to finish freezing which could take 4-6 hours. All this depends on your freezer and mold. It’s worth the wait!
Sure! Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Coconut Lime Popsicles:
Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk (full fat for a creamier texture)
- 1/2 cup coconut water or regular water
- 1/3 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
- Zest of 2 limes
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a large bowl or a blender, combine the coconut milk, coconut water, honey (or agave syrup), lime juice, lime zest, and optional vanilla extract and salt.
- Blend or whisk until all the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
- Taste and Adjust:
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or lime juice to your preference.
- Pour into Molds:
- Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds. Leave a little space at the top to allow for expansion when they freeze.
- If using popsicle sticks, insert them into the molds.
- Freeze:
- Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until fully frozen.
- Unmold and Enjoy:
- To unmold the popsicles, run the outside of the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them.
- Gently pull the popsicles out of the molds and enjoy!
Tips:
- For a chunkier texture, you can add shredded coconut or small pieces of fresh fruit like mango or pineapple into the molds before freezing.
- If you prefer a less creamy and more icy texture, you can replace the coconut milk with coconut water.
These coconut lime popsicles are a refreshing and tropical treat perfect for hot days!
