Cookies and Coconut Milk Popsicles
Cookies and Coconut Milk Popsicles are frozen treats made by folding crushed cookies into sweetened coconut milk, then freezing the mixture into molds with a whole cookie as a filling. The result is a creamy, slightly textured popsicle that combines the richness of coconut milk with bursts of cookie crunch. These are a refreshing dessert or snack during warm weather.
Ingredients
- 14 ounce coconut milk you can also use coconut cream, can
- Oreo cookie approximately 15
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Shake the can of coconut milk well. Pour it into a small mixing bowl and add the vanilla.
- Take 6-8 cookies and crush them. You can do this by putting them in a small food processor, or into a baggie and then using a rolling pin to roll over it and crush the cookies. They don't have to be completely crushed, you can leave as much texture in as you like.
- Fold the crushed cookies into the coconut milk, don't mix too much, just fold.
- Spoon a small amount of the mixture into the bottom of 5 popsicle molds.
- Insert a whole cookie into each of the molds. Carefully insert a popsicle stick into the molds, the stick will fit right into the filling of the cookie and stand by itself.
- Fill the molds with the rest of the cookies and cream mixture.
- Freeze until solid. This will take several hours.
- To remove the popsicles, fill your sink with hot water, and immerse the mold up to, but not over the top lip and hold for 15 seconds. Remove from the water and then gently remove the popsicles.
- To store for later, wrap each popsicle well with waxed paper, and then put in freezer baggies.
