These easy, dairy-free popsicles combine creamy coconut milk with fresh strawberries and blueberries for a colorful, refreshing summer treat that’s perfect for all ages and dietary needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 cup (about 150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (about 150 g) fresh blueberries, washed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Layer: In a blender, combine sliced strawberries with 0.5 tablespoon (7 ml) lemon juice and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup. Blend until smooth but slightly textured. Pour about one-third of this mixture into popsicle molds, filling each about one-third full. Freeze for 30-40 minutes until firm but not solid.
  2. Make the White Coconut Layer: Rinse blender. Pour in canned coconut milk, vanilla extract, pinch of sea salt, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup. Blend briefly to mix. Pour gently over frozen red layer, filling molds to two-thirds full. Freeze for 40-50 minutes until set but slightly soft.
  3. Prepare the Blue Layer: Blend blueberries with remaining lemon juice and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup until smooth. Pour over coconut layer, filling molds to the top. Insert popsicle sticks gently. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
  4. Remove and Serve: Run warm water briefly over mold exteriors to loosen. Gently pull popsicles free. Serve immediately or store in airtight container in freezer up to 2 weeks.

Notes

For neater layers, freeze each layer until firm but not rock solid before adding the next. Use silicone molds for easier removal. If popsicles stick, warm mold exterior briefly under running water. Frozen berries can be used if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain excess liquid before use. For a lighter popsicle, mix coconut milk with almond or oat milk. Adjust sweetness by tasting each layer before freezing.
