Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 popsicle molds
- 1 wooden popsicle sticks
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk unsweetened
- 1 cup mixed berries fresh or frozen, such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup adjust based on jam sweetness
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until well blended.
- Add the chia seeds to the coconut milk mixture and stir well. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes so the chia seeds can absorb some liquid and swell.
- Blend the mixed berries in a blender or food processor until smooth. If you prefer some texture, pulse to leave a few berry chunks.
- Once the chia seeds have bloomed, layer the chia mixture and the berry puree in the popsicle molds. Start with a layer of the chia mixture, followed by a layer of berry puree, and repeat until the molds are filled. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the two mixtures together if desired.
- Insert wooden popsicle sticks into the molds and place them in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until fully solid.
- To serve, run warm water over the outside of the popsicle molds for a few seconds to help release the popsicles. Gently pull them out and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different fruit combinations based on your taste. You can use mango, kiwi, or any favorite summer fruits.
If using fresh berries, ensure they are ripe for the best flavor.
Store any leftover popsicles in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.
