These colorful and creamy red, white, and blue popsicles combine fresh berries with coconut cream for a light, refreshing summer treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chilled coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • Splash of vanilla extract (optional)
  • 12 tablespoons water (optional, to thin berry purees)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and hull 1 cup of fresh strawberries. Puree in a blender until smooth, adding 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed to thin. Set aside.
  2. Rinse 1 cup of fresh blueberries. Puree in a blender until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed. Set aside separately.
  3. In a bowl, whisk 1 cup chilled coconut cream with 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon lime juice, and a splash of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness and lime to taste.
  4. Pour the strawberry puree into the bottom third of each popsicle mold (about 2-3 tablespoons). Freeze for 30-40 minutes until firm.
  5. Spoon or pour the coconut cream mixture over the frozen strawberry layer to fill the next third of the mold. Freeze again for 30-40 minutes until firm.
  6. Pour the blueberry puree on top to fill the molds. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully solid.
  7. To unmold, run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds and gently pull out the popsicles. Serve immediately or keep frozen.

Notes

Freeze each layer separately to keep distinct stripes. Use chilled coconut cream to maintain a thick, creamy white layer. Adjust sweetness to taste, as frozen treats taste less sweet. Work quickly when layering to prevent melting. Frozen berries can be used but should be thawed slightly before blending.
