Coconut Papaya Popsicles Recipe

• Servings: Makes about 8 popsicles

• Prep Time: 10 minutes

• Cook Time: None (but requires about 4-6 hours freezing time)

• Total Time: About 4 hours 10 minutes (mostly freezing time)
  

Ingredients:

• 2 cups ripe papaya, peeled and seeded

• 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creamier popsicles)

• 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave syrup (adjust to taste)

• Juice of 1 lime

• A pinch of salt
  

Instructions:

1. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the papaya, coconut milk, syrup, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. For the smoothest blend, I use this blender.

2. Taste Test: Give the mixture a taste and adjust the sweetness or lime juice according to your preference.

3. Pour and Freeze: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds. If you like, you can add small chunks of papaya or shredded coconut to the molds for texture. Here is the mold I like to use for my popsicles!

4. Insert Sticks and Freeze: Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.

5. Enjoy: Once frozen, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to help release the popsicles. Then grab a popsicle and enjoy the creamy, tropical delight!
