These fresh dairy-free coconut popsicles feature vibrant red, white, and blue layers made from creamy coconut milk and fresh berries. They are quick, easy, and perfect for summer parties or a refreshing treat on a hot day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk, well shaken
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) frozen strawberries, thawed slightly and puréed
  • 1 cup (150 g) frozen blueberries, thawed and blended
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups (480 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk, 3 tablespoons (45 ml) maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened. Set aside.
  2. Place 1 cup (150 g) frozen strawberries in your blender. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. Pour about 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) of this mixture into each popsicle mold to create the red base. Freeze for about 30-40 minutes until firm but not rock hard.
  3. Once the red layer is firm, spoon in the coconut milk mixture, filling each mold about one-third full. Freeze again for 30-40 minutes until set.
  4. Blend 1 cup (150 g) frozen blueberries with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth. Sweeten with 1-2 teaspoons (5-10 ml) maple syrup if needed. Pour the blue mixture over the coconut layer in the molds. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. To release the popsicles, run warm water briefly over the mold’s outside. Gently pull on the sticks, and enjoy your fresh, dairy-free treat!

Notes

Be patient with freezing times between layers to keep colors distinct. Use full-fat canned coconut milk for best creamy texture. If coconut milk separates, whisk vigorously before use. You can speed up freezing by placing molds in the coldest part of the freezer or using a metal tray underneath. If you don’t have popsicle molds, small paper cups with wooden sticks work as a substitute.
