Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ¾ cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Popsicle molds and sticks

Instructions

  1. Make the red raspberry layer: Combine frozen raspberries, honey, lemon juice, and water in your blender. Blend until smooth but still slightly textured. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Pour about ⅓ cup into each popsicle mold, filling just enough for the bottom layer. Freeze for 30-45 minutes until firm to the touch but not rock solid.
  2. Prepare the white coconut layer: In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined. Remove the molds from the freezer and gently pour this mixture over the frozen red layer. Tap the molds lightly to settle the liquid evenly. Return to freezer for another 30-45 minutes until firm.
  3. Blend the blue blueberry layer: Blend blueberries, honey, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Pour this over the white layer, filling the molds almost to the top. Insert popsicle sticks now, pressing them straight down so they stand upright. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  4. To remove popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for 10-15 seconds. Gently wiggle the sticks to loosen. Be patient to avoid breaking the layers.

Notes

Chill each layer before adding the next to keep colors distinct. Use full-fat coconut milk for creaminess. Run warm water on molds to ease unmolding. Adjust sweetness to taste. Fresh fruit can be used but may require more water or ice. Store popsicles in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
