2-Ingredient Pineapple Coconut Popsicles

“If you like piña coladas
And gettin’ caught in the rain.
If you’re not into yoga
If you have half a brain…”

If you want to escape and get lost in that song about drinking piña coladas, then you are going to love this recipe. The overly sweet, rum-filled beverage takes a healthy turn, leaving syrup, canned juice, and alcohol behind. For this recipe, you only require two ingredients: pineapple and coconut milk. These pineapple coconut popsicles just feel right to eat now that the sun is shining a lot more! We don’t know how you feel about store bought popsicles, but you can feel good about giving your kids these homemade ones.

The cheap popsicles contain artificial food dyes, added sugars, and “natural” flavors that aren’t so natural. Even the more expensive varieties can contain a decent amount of added sugars. Why worry about ingredients when it is very inexpensive to make your own popsicles at home. There are silicone molds with reusable plastic handles readily available, so you can make them regularly. Plus, if you get those, then you don’t have to get popsicle sticks.

You cannot beat the freshness that you get from these pineapple coconut popsicles. The coconut milk gives them a creamy texture, and it also is a perfect match for the fresh pineapple. You can cube your pineapple and freeze it overnight, or you can blend fresh cubes with the coconut milk. If you use frozen pineapple chunks, the time it takes for the popsicles to solidify in the freezer is less than if you use fresh pineapple. Consider which route you want to take, but there is one important step you cannot avoid: enjoying these tasty vegan desserts!
