Hi Bold Bakers!
Popsicles are one of the most fun Summer desserts to make. You get to add in any of your favorite fruit and there is no exact recipe so you can get creative. Plus, you are always wowed when you pull them out of the Popsicle mold and get to see your handy work.
An added bonus is that my Fruit Popsicles contain all natural sugars and are loaded with real fruit. And in case you are wondering, they taste as good as they look, double bonus!
If you love Popsicles, don’t miss my Watermelon, Cantaloupe & Strawberry, Peaches & Cream and Green Smoothie Popsicles.

You can get really creative with these frozen treats and use any fruit or flavor you want! You will notice a little sugar added to some popsicles and that is to aid the freezing process and stop all of those ice crystals from forming. What type of sugar you choose is totally up to you. Also, feel free to use fresh or frozen fruit (that has been defrosted); both work well.
With Popsicles you only need to put a small amount of fruit in to get a lot out. Layer and mix your popsicles any which way you like because remember there are no rules. The great thing is they freeze in around 5 hours and last for 8 weeks in the freezer wrapped up safe in a container or in cling wrap.

Raspberry & Coconut Popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup (1 can/15oz/395ml) coconut milk (light or regular)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (honey, agave, maple or stevia)
- 1 cup (5oz/142g) raspberries
Instructions
- In a food processor or hand blender, puree the raspberries until smooth and set aside.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the coconut milk and sugar.
- In your mold, fill ⅓ way with your raspberry puree, then follow with your coconut milk milk all the way to the top. I like to give it a swirl to create a pretty ripple effect.
- Cover mold, add sticks and freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight. They will keep in the freezer for up to 8 weeks.
- TIP: Run the molds under warm water to loosen up the popsicles.

Hi, I was wondering if the coconut milk has to be refrigerated overnight or if its fine to just make it straight after buying it in the store?
Hi Gemma,
I was wondering if you could substitute the raspberries for blueberries ?
Can I substitute the coconut milk with coconut greek yogurt? If so do I need the sugar still?
Can you use almond milk instead if the coconut milk ????
Hi, I tried this with strawberry n coconut milk. Was kind of mild in taste. Not sure if it s supposed to be that way.☺️ We loved your homemade icecream recipe more!
Can all be mixed together instead of layering in the moulds?
These ice lollies sound just the thing to get kids to eat fruit and spinach I can’t wait to try them. Could I use evaporated milk instead of coconut milk? I don’t like coconut so do not know the consistency of the milk.
Hi Gemma. Do you have to use the coconut from a can or can you use the drinking kind? By the way I love your recipes so much you really got me into baking!
