# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like a tropical vacation but use ingredients you probably already have.
  • The coconut milk makes them creamy without any dairy, so they melt slower than regular fruit pops.
  • You can make them as sweet or tart as you like by adjusting the honey mid-blend.
  • They look impressive with those swirled layers, but honestly take less effort than making toast.
02 -
  • If you skip the lemon juice, the raspberry layer tastes flat and muddy, don't skip it.
  • Full-fat coconut milk is not negotiable, I tried light once and ended up with icy coconut water pops that nobody wanted.
  • Don't overfill the molds or the mixture will leak out when you insert the sticks, learned that the hard way with a sticky freezer drawer.
03 -
  • Freeze leftover coconut milk in ice cube trays, then blend the cubes with the raspberries for an even creamier texture.
  • If you don't have molds, use small paper cups and cover them with foil, poke the sticks through the foil to keep them upright.
  • Add a tablespoon of vodka or rum to the coconut layer for adult pops, alcohol keeps them from freezing rock solid.
