When it’s hot outside and you want something festive without turning on the oven, these Red, White and Blue Popsicles are the move. Each one is layered with fresh strawberries, creamy coconut, and blueberries so you get all three colors in every frozen treat.
They look impressive in the mold, but they’re surprisingly simple to make. Just blend, layer, and freeze. Perfect for the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, or any backyard gathering.
Helpful Tips
- Freeze each layer until mostly firm. This keeps the colors from mixing and helps create clean, defined layers.
- Use full-fat coconut milk. It gives the white layer a richer texture and helps it freeze smoothly.
- Taste the fruit before sweetening. Depending on how ripe your berries are, you may need more or less honey or sugar.
