Hello foodies! It’s that time of the year again when the weather gets warmer and we all start craving something cool and refreshing. And what could be better than a batch of homemade popsicles? Today, I’m sharing my recipe for Red, White and Blueberry Coconut Cream Popsicles, a patriotic treat that is not only delicious but also easy to make.
These popsicles are a perfect combination of creamy coconut, sweet blueberries, and a touch of red food coloring to give them that classic red, white, and blue look. They’re a great way to cool down on a hot summer day and a fun treat to bring to your next summer barbecue or Fourth of July celebration.
Let’s get started with the ingredients:
- 1 can (13.5oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2-3 drops red food coloring (optional)
Here’s how to make these popsicles:
- In a blender, combine the coconut milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the blueberries and a few drops of red food coloring (if using) and blend again until the blueberries are incorporated and the mixture turns a light purple or pink color.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little bit of space at the top for the mixture to expand as it freezes.
- Insert popsicle sticks and place the molds in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until the popsicles are completely frozen.
- Once the popsicles are frozen, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to release the popsicles.
And that’s it! You now have a batch of delicious and patriotic Red, White and Blueberry Coconut Cream Popsicles. These popsicles are dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly, making them a great option for those with dietary restrictions. You can also customize them by adding other fruits or toppings of your choice.
