Ingredients
Fruits
- 3 medium-sized peaches (1.3 lbs, peeled and chopped)
Liquid and Sweetener
- 1 15-oz can full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
Other Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: Peel the peaches carefully, remove and discard the pits, then chop the peaches into chunks to prepare for blending.
- Blend the ingredients: Place the chopped peaches, coconut milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, and sea salt into a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Adjust flavor: Taste the blended mixture and add more pure maple syrup or lemon juice to suit your personal preference for sweetness and tartness.
- Pour into molds and freeze: Pour the popsicle mixture into popsicle molds, filling them most of the way up. Secure the lids and insert the popsicle sticks. Freeze for 2 to 4 hours or until fully solid, depending on mold size and mixture temperature.
- Release and serve: To unmold the popsicles, let them thaw at room temperature for a few minutes or run warm water over the outside of the mold to loosen them, then gently pull them out.
- Store leftovers: Keep any remaining popsicles in the mold or transfer them to a large zip lock bag or airtight container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months, and for best preservation, wrap each popsicle individually in plastic wrap before freezing.
Notes
- Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor.
- Full-fat coconut milk provides the creamiest texture; canned coconut milk works best.
- Adjust the sweetness with maple syrup according to taste and the natural sweetness of the peaches.
- If you don’t have popsicle molds, use small paper cups and wooden sticks as a substitute.
- Allow popsicles to slightly thaw before removing from molds to avoid breakage.
- For a twist, add a handful of fresh mint or a splash of vanilla extract before blending.
