Frozen fruit bars using coconut milk?

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

I love coconut and I would like to know if anyone has tried this. I'm thinking of using the unsweetened coconut milk that comes in a can.
Blending it with fruit, sugar or fruit syrup, then using my popsicle molds. It's rather thick so it might need to be thinned with something: milk? I have no dietary restrictions so I am not looking for dairy free.
Anyone? Thanks. The cooking forum is gone for me. Sometimes I can find it if I know the keywords for something I or someone posted in the past, but even if I find it, there is no way for me to post in it.

I've never used a recipe for fruit pops. I puree frozen raspberries with plain non-fat yogurt (How much? Until it seemed the right color and texture), a small amount of sugar (maybe 1/4 cup for a pound of raspberries) and enough water to make it pourable. I've been known to throw in shredded carrot, which appalled my daughter (elementary age at the time) when I told her until she tried one, and then she declared that I should always add carrot.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't substitute coconut milk for part of the yogurt.

There are so many recipes online you can try. Just Google “coconut milk popsicle recipe,” and you will find many delicious option. I like the fork, knife and swoon site. It has a lot of little gems. You needn’t thin these out with anything.

I know I can Google, but I trust the judgment of people on these forums to lead me to a good recipe, more than I trust google, which has led me to some bad recipes. High order in google placement does not a tasty recipe make.

Google was showing me vegan and paleo recipes. Since I'm not adhering to either of those,

These are popsicles, not boeuf bourguignon. I think you can risk it. Lots of recipes you find will be paleo or vegan - you can still eat the popsicles even if you don’t follow those diets. I’m glad you found a way back to the cooking forum. Enjoy your creations!

....my reply was cut off. 4 of the worst recipes I've had recently were vegan and/or paleo, lol. My theory is that recipes created for those 2 dietary restrictions are not necessarily the best tasting versions.

I love the idea of shredded carrots. My mom used to make a jello mold with shredded carrots. I loved it. I presented it at last Thanksgiving dinner, and no one would touch it. Those same people who I saw eating carrot cake with apparent enjoyment.
