These festive red, white, and blue popsicles combine creamy coconut cream with bright berry layers for a refreshing and easy summer treat perfect for parties and casual snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (for red layer)
  • 12 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to sweetness preference)
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar or coconut sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (for blue layer)
  • 12 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (for blue layer)
  • Water or coconut water to thin fruit purees if needed
  • Optional: a pinch of sea salt to enhance flavors

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Berry Layer: In a blender, combine strawberries, lemon juice, and honey. Blend until smooth. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water or coconut water if mixture is too thick. Pour about 1/3 cup into each popsicle mold, filling the bottom third. Freeze for 30-40 minutes until firm.
  2. Make the Coconut Cream Layer: Whisk together coconut cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Add a teaspoon of water if too thick. Remove molds from freezer once red layer is set.
  3. Add the Coconut Layer: Spoon or pour coconut cream gently over the frozen red layer, filling molds to about two-thirds full. Freeze for another 30-40 minutes until firm.
  4. Prepare the Blueberry Layer: Blend blueberries with lemon juice and honey, thinning with water if needed. Pour blueberry puree on top of the coconut layer, filling molds to the top.
  5. Insert Sticks & Freeze: Place popsicle sticks into each mold. If sticks don’t stand upright, wait 20 minutes after adding blueberry layer until partially frozen, then insert sticks. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until fully set.
  6. Unmold & Serve: Dip molds briefly in warm water to loosen popsicles. Gently pull sticks and serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

Freeze each layer fully before adding the next to prevent colors from blending. Use full-fat coconut cream for best creaminess. For easier unmolding, dip molds briefly in warm water. Can substitute maple syrup for honey to make vegan. Store popsicles in molds or airtight container with parchment paper between layers for up to 2 weeks.
