I might have a little bit of an obsession with coconut and pineapple at the moment. \u00a0These ice cream sundaes<\/a>, the coconut milk and honey lotion I bought yesterday and these popsicles make me wonder if I have a problem. \u00a0Maybe it’s the thought of summer and I’m just trying to mentally transport myself somewhere sunny and tropical. \u00a0And maybe it’s a pregnancy craving thing. \u00a0Either way, I’m ok with it. \u00a0And I’m totally ok with these pina colada-like popsicles. \u00a0They’re refreshing, the ingredient list is short and they take almost no time to make! \u00a0If you haven’t tried making your own popsicles (like me up until I made these) you should try it!<\/p>\n

\"Coconut<\/a><\/p>\n

All you need for these is a can of coconut milk, a small can of crushed pineapple, a little vanilla and a little sugar. \u00a0Mix it up, pour the mixture into popsicle molds and pop them into the freezer until they’re frozen solid. \u00a0That’s all there is to it! \u00a0Then you can sit outside and eat one of these and pretend you’re at the beach somewhere. \u00a0Maybe put on some island music, wear a big floppy hat and put your feet in your kid’s sandbox for added effect.<\/p>\n

Betsy couldn’t resist trying these, and I was surprised how much she liked it. \u00a0She enjoyed her bite so much that I had to go get myself another one because there was no way I was going to pry it from her hands.<\/p>\n

I found these popsicle molds<\/a> at World Market. \u00a0I like that they have the built in drip catchers, it’s perfect for my kids who get all kinds of bothered when their hands start to get messy. \u00a0And really it’s a good thing for adults, too! \u00a0To unmold them after a full 24 hours in the freezer I had to run them under warm water and occasionally wiggle the sticks until they were ready to come loose. \u00a0Overall I was pleased with the $5 purchase.<\/p>\n

The texture of these popsicles is creamy thanks to the luscious coconut milk, but with just enough chew from the pineapple to make them interesting. \u00a0I found one tablespoon of sugar to be enough sweetness, but if you like things sweeter you could add another tablespoon. \u00a0These are also really satisfying because of the coconut milk. \u00a0It’s almost like eating ice cream. \u00a0Do you have a favorite at-home popsicle recipe? \u00a0I’d love to hear about it!<\/p>\n
