Oh my goodness… I loved making these little treats, and honestly, they turned out adorable.
Sure, they wouldn’t survive long in an Easter basket — trust me, the coconut milk would melt faster than little hands can grab them — but they still make the sweetest Easter treat. And bonus… they’re actually healthy! Good fats for those growing bodies we love so much.
Easter Pops
- 2 (16 oz.) cans organic coconut milk (light or full-fat — either works!)
- 4 tbsp. agave, honey, or maple syrup
- Freeze-dried raspberries, tangerines, blueberries (I grabbed mine at Trader Joe’s!)
For the green coconut “grass,” you can peek at my other post!
Start by whisking or blending the coconut milk with your sweetener. Divide the mixture into three bowls and set them aside for a minute.
Now for the fun part… the colors!
Pink from dried raspberries, orange from dried tangerines, purple from dried blueberries. If you can’t find freeze-dried fruit, fresh fruit works too — I’ve done it both ways.
Freeze-dried fruit usually comes in a little bag like this…
Pop the fruit (one color at a time!) into a coffee grinder or small food processor. You’ll get the prettiest, most vibrant powder — this becomes your natural dye.
The more you add, the deeper the color. Mix each powder into its own coconut-milk bowl.
Pour the first color into cupcake liners…
Cover the tray with plastic wrap and poke holes for your lollipop or popsicle sticks. The plastic wrap holds them upright so they freeze straight — mom hack!
Freeze for about 30 minutes. They don’t need to be rock solid, just firm enough to hold the next layer.
Pour the second color… freeze again.
Pour the third… and let that final freeze go for 3–4 hours or even overnight.
Peel off the wrappers before serving.
And look at them… seriously… how cute are these??
They’d even be perfect for a little girlie princess party — all pastel, all magical, all smiles!
