- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons unsweetened, shredded coconut
- big pinch fine sea salt
- big splash pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup half-and-half
- 7 fluid ounce sweetened condensed milk
- 6.25 fluid ounce canned coconut milk
- pinch fine sea salt
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled & quartered
- a couple extra chopped strawberries(optional)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup simple syrup
- 1 avocado, pitted & scooped out of peel
- 1 cup chopped kale (leaves only, packed)
- 1/2 cup simple syrup
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- pinch sea salt
- 7 tablespoons coconut water
Instructions
Step 1
Blend all red layer ingredients until smooth. Fill the bottom third of your popsicle molds with the mixture. Optionally, add a few small pieces of chopped strawberry. Freeze until solid or extremely firm.
Step 2
Either add popsicle sticks to the molds after about an hour, when the red layer is firmer than slushy, or wait until the next layer is added. The timing depends on mold size and desired stick depth.
Step 3
Toast the shredded coconut in a small pan until golden in spots, watching carefully to prevent burning. Pour the toasted coconut into a bowl, onto a plate, or onto parchment paper and let it cool completely.
Step 4
Add the cooled toasted coconut and all other white layer ingredients to a blender and blend until combined. Fill the next third of your popsicle molds with this mixture. Freeze until solid or extremely firm.
Step 5
If popsicle sticks haven't been added yet, slide them into the center of the pops once this white layer is harder than slushy.
Step 6
Place all green layer ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Add coconut water (or milk) as needed to make the mixture pourable, ensuring it is not thin and runny.
Step 7
For easier filling, transfer the green layer mixture to a zippered baggie, snip off a small corner, and squeeze it into the popsicle molds to fill the top third around the sticks.
Step 8
Freeze the pops until solid.
