ingredients

These popsicles may look difficult, but they're actually really simple to make and only require 4 ingredients.

• fresh strawberries
• fresh blueberries
• coconut milk
• maple syrup

See recipe card for quantities.

instructions

These kind of popsicle usually have clean defined layers of colors, which involves waiting for one color to freeze before adding the next. I don't have that kind of time so rather than waiting for each color layer to freeze before adding the next, I pour the colors in resulting in this kind of tie dyed look. We love the look, but if you want the clean striped look and have the time, pour one color and allow to freeze before pouring the next until all colors have been added.

substitutions & variations

• Fruit - You can use raspberries instead of strawberries if you prefer
• Coconut milk - You can use soy milk or another non dairy milk instead of coconut milk, if needed. The result will be less creamy and a bit more icy.
• Sweetner - you can use agave, another liquid sweetener or stevia drops instead of maple syrup.

equipment

You will needed a blender to make these popsicles as well as popsicle molds. If you don't have molds you can use paper cups and food grade wooden sticks instead.

storage

Store popsicles in the freezer until ready to serve.
