Ingredients

  • 400ml lite coconut milk
  • ¼ cup lime juice freshly squeezed from about 2 limes
  • 1 avocado peel and pit removed
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Then gently pour the mixture into popsicle molds or plastic cups. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
  2. When ready to enjoy, run the outside of the popsicle mold under lukewarm water for a few seconds and gently remove from its mold.

Notes

  • Taste the mixture before you freeze. Grab a spoon and sample your lime popsicle mixture (or any popsicle you're making) to test the level of sweet, tart, or other flavour you may want to add. You can always add a little more lime juice before you freeze them, if desired.
  • When separating the casing from the popsicle, use care not to break them! Run the outside of your popsicle mold under lukewarm water in your kitchen sink for a few seconds, and then try to gently separate. Use a side to side motion, don't pull. Repeat until you can easily separate the lime popsicles from their mold, without breaking.
  • If you have some extra lime popsicle mixture at the end, freeze the remainder in an ice cube tray for mini treats.
  • Fill your molds almost to the top. The popsicles will only expand slightly, so don't leave too much space for expansion, or your stick or lid won't hold the popsicle very well.
  • Make sure to freeze your popsicles long enough! The worst thing you can do is remove the popsicle from its mold, before it is fully solid. I like to give them a minimum of 6 hours to ensure they are solid, throughout.
  • Don't have popsicle molds? No problem! Use paper cups and freeze them open side up for about 30-45 minutes. Then stick a popsicle stick into the center and continue freezing until completely solid.
