These vibrant and naturally sweet popsicles combine fresh strawberries, creamy coconut milk, and blueberries for a refreshing summer treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and rinsed
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries, rinsed
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional, to thin purees)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Puree (Red Layer): In your blender, add 2 cups of hulled strawberries, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Blend until smooth. If desired, strain through a fine mesh sieve for a seedless texture. This takes about 5 minutes.
  2. Fill the molds with the Red Layer: Spoon the strawberry puree into the popsicle molds until about one-third full. Tap molds gently to remove air bubbles. Freeze for 30-45 minutes until firm but not fully frozen.
  3. Make the Creamy White Layer: Combine 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon honey in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Pour gently over the frozen strawberry layer, filling molds another third of the way. Freeze again for 30-45 minutes.
  4. Prepare the Blueberry Puree (Blue Layer): Blend 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon honey and 1 teaspoon lemon juice until smooth. Add up to 2 tablespoons water if needed for blending. Strain if desired.
  5. Finish Filling the Molds: Pour the blueberry puree over the white layer, filling molds to the top. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely firm.
  6. Unmold and Serve: Run warm water briefly on the outside of the molds to release popsicles. Avoid soaking to prevent sogginess. Serve immediately or store in a freezer-safe bag.

Notes

Patience is key to prevent colors from bleeding; let each layer freeze until firm before adding the next. Straining purees improves texture, especially for kids. Use fresh ripe berries for best flavor. If coconut milk layer is too thick, stir in a splash of water before pouring. Popsicles keep well up to two weeks in an airtight container.
