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.
