Ingredients
Scale
Blackberry Layer
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Pineapple Layer
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Coconut Layer
- 1 cup canned coconut milk (full fat)
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Blackberry Mixture: In a blender, combine the blackberries and 1 tablespoon of honey. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside.
- Prepare Pineapple Mixture: Rinse the blender. Then blend the pineapple chunks, lime juice, and sugar until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare Coconut Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, honey, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Assemble Ice Pops: Spoon alternating layers of the blackberry, pineapple, and coconut mixtures into ice pop molds. Use a skewer or butter knife to gently swirl the layers together for a marbled effect.
- Freeze: Insert sticks into molds and freeze for at least 6 hours or until fully frozen.
- Unmold: To release the ice pops, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull out the pops. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use maple syrup or agave in place of sugar and honey for a refined sugar-free version.
- Frozen fruit can be used if fresh fruit isn’t available.
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk as indicated.
