Did I ever tell you about how much I dislike coconut as a kid? You'd probably never guess judging from some of my recipes like Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, my Coconut Mounds Candy or Blueberry Coconut Muffins… And still I could say I'm not a coconut fan.
But I am.
Are you confused yet? :D
I only like the REAL coconut flavor and not the fake enhanced sugar sweetened versions found in regular candies, on top of breads or even for coffee creamers.
It's no wonder the boys like the real coconut I give them. Course, what kids doesn't like a popsicle? And they don't really need to know all the details of how much healthier this is compared to most popsicles you'd find out of a box.
Things are warming up and I predict we'll be making many more cool treats.
Mango Coconut Creamsicle Popsicles
Author: Laura @ PetiteAllergyTreats
Ingredients
- 5 cups frozen mango
- 1 cup coconut cream (not milk)
- Puree mango on a high powdered blender or in small batches in a food processor.
- Pour into a popsicle mold alternating coconut cream for layers. Use a popsicle stick to slightly stir to give a swirl effect.
- Freeze at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
Notes: I've used both regular dairy yogurt and coconut cream. If using coconut make sure the can is at room temperature to allow easy swirling/layering without thick chunks. Coconut cream contains a higher fat content than a coconut milk and makes a smoother (not icy) texture.
