How to make these homemade creamy coconut pineapple popsicles

Start by adding 2 cups of pineapple chunks, sugar, coconut milk in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add the other cup of pineapple chunks and pulse in the blender a couple time, leaving some chunks in. Once all ingredient have been blended add in the unsweetened coconut flakes and combine

Evenly pour the coconut pineapple popsicle mixture into a popsicle mold (I used this silicone mold). Put the lid on and insert the popsicle wooden sticks half way through. Then carefully transfer the popsicle mold in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. This recipe makes about 12 popsicles.

To serve - run the popsicle mold under warm water for a few seconds and pull the popsicles out of the mold and enjoy. You can also try to carefully wiggle the popsicles out and push up from the mold without running it through warm water, but it takes some wiggling and moving around to get out this way.

Substitutions

Milk - for that extra creaminess use the full fat coconut milk, but you can sub milk of choice or low fat coconut milk.
Cane Sugar - You can substitute with ¼ cup of maple syrup or agave nectar

Storage Tips

You can store these pineapple ice pops in the freezer up to 2 weeks for best tasting popsicles. After the two weeks you might encounter some freezer burn and not the optimal tasting pineapple popsicles.
