Grape Cream Popsicles
(dairy-free, refined sugar-free)


I'm sure it's partly because I'm pregnant, but I have been so hot lately. We've been eating so much homemade ice cream and recently popsicles too. These were so yummy. I had to get a little of the "cream" and the grape in every bite. Love how the flavors go together.

I wanted the layers in these popsicles to blend, kind of like a tie-dye, so I froze each layer then barely warmed the following layer to get them to blend. If you want straight lines you can just skip warming the layers. Both would be cute.

What's your favorite popsicle flavor? Tell us in the comments.

Grape Cream Popsicles

Blend:
3/4 cup grape juice (I use R.W. Knudsen)
1/4 cup coconut milk
Set aside.

Blend:
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 cashew milk
3 to 4 tbsp honey (taste after 3 tbsp and add more if desired)
Set aside.

Fill each mold about 1/3 full with the "cream" mixture.
Freeze for about an hour, or until frozen.

Warm the grape mixture just slightly (to about 95 degrees).
This step is optional. Warming the layers creates a blended effect.
Fill another third of the molds.
Freeze about two hours, or until frozen.

(I use these great molds because they're BPA-free)

Warm the "cream" mixture just slightly (to about 95 degrees).
This step is optional. Warming the layers creates a blended effect.
Fill the rest of the way.
Add sticks and freeze till frozen.

This looks so yummy! With the lavender in the background, I think of adding some lavender - maybe warming the grape juice (slightly ) & steeping a tsp of lavender flowers for 1/2 hour 1st! And some fresh raspberries would be delightful

I love making Popsicle with left-over smoothie...I am often guilty of making too much smoothie, so we always end-up making some popsicles with the rest.
