Tips to Make the Pineapple Coconut Popsicles
While making these pineapple popsicles is super easy, you may want to have these little tips and tricks handy too.
- Remember to allow these pineapple popsicles at least 6 hours of freezer time, ideally overnight. Doing this will ensure that the popsicles are frozen solid, just the way they should be.
- I have added some lime juice to the popsicle mixture to brighten up this frozen dessert and make it more healthy. If you want, you can also add some lime zest to it to enhance its taste.
- Remember to use full fat coconut milk for this recipe- this will sure that the popsicles have a nice and creamy taste.
- If you’re having trouble getting your popsicles out, you can dip the mold in a bowl of hot water for just a few seconds and then get them out.
- You can use any kind of molds for this recipe. I like to use the silicone ones that don’t need me to use any popsicle sticks- they come with their in-built plastic sticks.
- You can make these summer treats in a big batch and store them in an airtight container and freeze them for weeks.
More Pineapple Coconut Flavor Combination Ideas
In addition to the pineapple and coconut milk, you can also add other fruit to bring in some variations to these popsicles.
I would recommend using any fresh seasonal fruit you can get your hands on- blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and even some chopped mint leaves if you feel like it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Can I Use Instead of Honey?
I have used honey to add some extra sweetness to these popsicles. If you don’t want to use honey, maple syrup can be your next best alternative.
If you don’t want to use either of these, just stick to using some sugar to sweeten the pineapple coconut popsicles.
What Else Can I Add to the Popsicles?
In addition to the coconut milk and pineapple chunks, you can also add in some shredded coconut to bring some texture and extra coconut flavor to these popsicles.
I would recommend adding the shredded coconut towards the end, after you’ve blended the base popsicle mixture together.
