TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for Coconut Lime Popsicles:

• Use Full-Fat Coconut Milk: This ensures a creamy texture and rich flavour.

• Adjust Sweetness: Increase or decrease the honey to taste or substitute with maple syrup or agave for a vegan alternative.

• Enhance With Zest: Add a bit of lime zest to intensify the citrus flavour.

• Make It Creamy: Blend in a few tablespoons of Greek yoghurt for a creamier texture.

• Use Silicone Moulds: These make it easier to remove the popsicles once frozen.

VARIATIONS

• Tropical Twist: Add a splash of pineapple or mango puree for extra fruity flavour.

• Spiced Version: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom for a warm depth of flavour.

• Coconut Flake Crunch: Mix in shredded coconut before freezing for added texture.

• Coconut Water Version: Swap out half the coconut milk for coconut water for a lighter popsicle.

• Chilli-Lime Kick: Add a tiny pinch of chilli powder for a Mexican-inspired tangy and spicy treat.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Freezing: Store popsicles in the freezer for up to 3 weeks in an airtight container or wrapped in parchment paper.
