It's the most wonderful time of the year... POPSICLE WEEK!!!

Last year for Popsicle Week 2016, I was all about booze and chocolate with these Nutella Espresso Rum Popsicles. 

This year, I'm all about healthy popsicle recipes and kid friendly recipes because, as I realized the other day, most of my treat recipes have booze in them and the kiddos don't seem to like that for some reason.

Well kiddos (and adults too!), here are some popsicles just for you.  And they taste so yummy, you won't even know they are healthy.

Watch how to make these healthy popsicles

A great summer recipe for healthy popsicles 

Coconut + Caramelized Pineapple Healthy Popsicles are an all-natural frozen sweet treat the whole family will love.  They are also vegan, gluten free, and dairy free, so there's really no excuse as to why you shouldn't be making these pops every day this summer.

It's the best vegan dessert recipe around too!

I love finding a vegan dessert that's easy to make!  So quick and effortless, you can practically make them in your sleep. 

Here's how to do it:

  • Put some fresh diced pineapple and sugar in a pan to caramelize for 10  minutes.
  • Combine the cooled caramelized pineapple in a blender with a can each of coconut cream and coconut milk and a little vanilla, then take it for a whirl in a blender.
  • Pour blended coconut and pineapple mixture into a Popsicle mold and freeze for a few hours.  I use this Norpro Frozen Ice Pop Maker and it's hands down the BEST ice pop mold I've ever used!
  • DONE!!!  Now you have a bunch of delicious popsicles to enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup fresh ripe pineapple , diced
  • 3 tablespoons demerara sugar
  • 1 (14 ounce) can organic coconut cream
  • 1 (14 ounce) can organic coconut milk, full or low fat
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a large pan, combine the pineapple and the demerara sugar and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until pineapple lightly browns and sugar caramelizes (about 10 minutes). Remove pan from the heat and allow mixture to cool.
  • In the meantime, combine the coconut milk, coconut cream and vanilla in a blender and process on high for a few minutes to fully incorporate and break up the coconut fat solids. Add the cooled pineapple to the coconut mixture and pulse a few times to incorporate but keep some pieces of pineapple intact for a chunky fruit popsicle or blend thoroughly on high for a smoother consistently.
  • Pour the blended mixture into the popsicle mold, cover with the top, and add the popsicle sticks. Freeze until firm for about 4-6 hours. To remove from the molds, run warm/hot water over the molds to help loosen.
  • Enjoy immediately or store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Recipe Notes & Tips:

  • Store leftover popsicles, covered in the freezer, for up to 2 weeks

    OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE this caramelized pineapple business! I want to eat these popsicles all day long. All that coconut and pineapple sounds like a pina colada. I can have these for breakfast then make some boozy ones for after lunch because I do not have to worry about boozing up any kiddos!

    Karrie, I don't mind popsicles with booze so you can send me everything in case you have some leftovers (hard to imagine though). This combo of coconut and pineapple is so lovely. But you know what? What about adding some rum or even Malibu next time?

    Well well well....these pops have got it goin' on! I don't know if you know (you probably do) that I LOVE coconut. Like, coconut food, coconut candles, coconut lotion, coconut everythang. So, I shall be expecting a big batch of these lovelies ice packed and sent my way. As for being kid friendly - do I really have to share?? Cause I kinda want to keep 'em all for myself....hehehe. Love it! Sharing (duh). XOXO
