These creamy AIP strawberry coconut popsicles are a quick, easy, and nightshade-free frozen treat that combines fresh strawberries and rich coconut cream for a smooth, refreshing dessert perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 cup coconut cream (full-fat, chilled overnight)
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey (or maple syrup as substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (alcohol-free if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse, hull, and quarter about 2 cups of fresh strawberries. Set aside.
  2. Place a can of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight to chill and separate the cream.
  3. Carefully scoop out 1 cup of the thick coconut cream from the top of the can, leaving the liquid behind.
  4. Add the coconut cream to a high-speed blender and pulse until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Add the prepared strawberries, 2 tablespoons raw honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender.
  6. Blend everything together until the mixture is velvety and uniform. Add a tablespoon or two of filtered water if the mixture is too thick.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice as desired.
  8. Pour the mixture carefully into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
  9. Freeze the molds for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set.
  10. To unmold, run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

Chill the coconut milk overnight to separate the cream for best texture. Pulse blend and scrape sides to achieve a silky smooth mixture. Adjust sweetness before freezing as frozen treats taste less sweet. Avoid adding too much water to prevent ice crystals. Freeze at least 6 hours for firm popsicles. Use frozen strawberries thawed if fresh are unavailable.
