Fruit Creamsicle

  • 2 tbsp sweetener of choice, or pinch uncut stevia
  • optional, 1 overripe banana

*Note: The popsicles will be much creamier if full-fat coconut milk is used, but any milk will work.

Banana Nutella Fudgesicles

INGREDIENTS

  •  6 large overripe bananas, peeled
  • 1/2 cup nutella (use a heaping 1/3 cup if you don’t like things too sweet)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Blend the overripe bananas until completely puréd.
  2. Add nutella, and blend until completely mixed in.
  3. Pour into popsicle molds with sticks and freeze for 3-4 hours.
  4. Add toasted coconut flakes and enjoy!

Cantaloupe Popsicles

INGREDIENTS

  • 3/4 cup cold water
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 pounds (from 1 small melon) cantaloupe melon chunks
  • 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

1. Dump the water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, bring to a simmer, and cook just until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

2. Put the cantaloupe chunks in a food processor, blend to a smooth puree. Add cooled mixture and lime or lemon juice and blend again.

3. Pour the syrup mixture into your popsicle molds, leaving 1/4 inch space at the top of each mold to allow the mixture to expand when it freezes. Insert a popsicle stick into the molds and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
