Creamy Coconut Ice Pops {Plus, Giveaway!}

July 23, 2012 by Leave a Comment

First thing, these pops. They are easy going, laid back, summertime dudes. They are dairy free, egg free, gluten free, and totes vegan. I almost never try to make my food vegan, but sometimes it happens and it’s a total bonus. Second bonus, you can make these with just THREE ingredients, plus a tiny pinch of salt and spice.

These pops happened that way, I wanted to make an easy, frozen treat and since coconut milk is such a creamy-dream and super easy to find, I decided to make it into an ice pop. For extra goodness, I added a liberal amount of toasted coconut flakes and a pinch of cinnamon, since I find it amazing with toasty coconut, as well as pure maple syrup to sweeten the deal. The pops are super coconut-y, decadently creamy and sweet, and just a hint spicy. They are cooling, yet feel so indulgent…and are perfect for sharing with your coconut loving comrades.

Second thing…GIVEAWAY! This giveaway is just a few favorites that I love to bake with or just have around to fancy up my life. I purchased all of the items below from Bake It Pretty. You can enter this giveaway THREE times.

Creamy Coconut Ice Pops

Originally, I had the idea to use honey for the sweetener, but to keep it on the vegan side I used maple syrup instead. If you want to ensure vegan satisfaction, use 100% pure maple syrup. 

1 can coconut milk, stirred well

1/3 cup maple syrup

heaping 1/2 cup toasted coconut flake, unsweetened variety

tiny pinch each cinnamon and salt

Stir together all ingredients to combine well. Divide mixture among 6-7 popsicle molds and freeze for 30 minutes. Insert sticks and continue to freeze for at least 6 additional hours.

    I love these straws. I saw them in grey or orange but blue are the nicest. I make my own pops so I will try this. Maybe if others want it vegan, you could substitute the honey for agave nectar.I tried agave nectar with my avocado pops and it wasn’t sweet at all. I’m from Canada so maple syrup isn’t as tropical.;)

    My obsessions are usually food-based. Kind of obsessed with a date and almond smoothie made just with water. Like a sweet, unstrained homemade almond milk. Keeps me full for half a day and it is delicious. Also obsessed with toast topped with avocado. Planning to eat that for the next month.
