Three ingredients and a freezer. One cup of strawberries, one cup of coconut milk, and two tablespoons of honey blended until smooth. Poured into popsicle moulds, sticks inserted, frozen for at least four hours. The popsicles come out creamy, pink, and dairy-free. These don’t last long here.
The coconut milk is what makes these creamy instead of icy. It coats the strawberries during blending and freezes into a smooth, rich base. The honey is mild and does not compete with the fruit. These taste like frozen strawberry milkshakes without any milk.
Tips for Making Coconut Strawberry Popsicles
Blend until completely smooth
Any chunks of strawberry freeze into hard, icy bits. Blend for at least thirty seconds until the mixture is uniform pink and pourable.
Use a high-powered blender if you have one. Standard blenders may leave fibrous strawberry pieces.
Freeze for at least four hours
Pour into moulds and insert sticks. Freeze until solid. Overnight is best for a firm set.
To release, run warm water over the outside of the mould for a few seconds. The popsicle should slide out cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of coconut milk?
Full-fat canned coconut milk makes the creamiest popsicles. Light coconut milk or carton coconut milk produces an icier result.
Can I use a different sweetener?
Agave syrup or maple syrup both work instead of honey. Honey has a mild floral flavour that pairs well with strawberries.
How long do these keep?
Up to two weeks in the freezer. After that, ice crystals form on the surface and the texture degrades.
