Ingredients
Scale
Blackberry Layer
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Pineapple Layer
- 1 ½ cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Coconut Layer
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Blackberry Puree: In a blender or food processor, combine blackberries, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. For a seedless texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Set aside the blackberry puree.
- Prepare Pineapple Puree: Rinse the blender to remove blackberry residue. Blend pineapple chunks with the remaining 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup until smooth. Set aside the pineapple puree.
- Prepare Coconut Mixture: In a small bowl, stir together coconut milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Assemble Popsicles: In popsicle molds, layer the blackberry puree, followed by the pineapple puree, then the coconut mixture. Alternate layers as desired, then swirl gently with a skewer or toothpick to create a marbled effect.
- Freeze: Insert popsicle sticks and freeze the molds for at least 6 hours or until completely solid.
- Remove and Serve: To unmold, briefly run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds. Gently pull out the pops and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness level according to the ripeness of your fruit by adding more or less honey or maple syrup.
- Substitute mango for pineapple if preferred.
- Use light coconut milk for a lower-fat alternative.
- These popsicles are perfect for kids and refreshing summer parties.
