Silicone popsicle molds

Ingredients

2 cups Blackberries fresh or frozen and defrosted
1 ⅔ cups Full-fat coconut milk 1 can
6 tablespoon Coconut palm sugar (75g)
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (5ml)
2 tablespoon Arrowroot powder (16g)

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 3 tablespoon of coconut milk, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the remainder of coconut milk with 4 tablespoon of the coconut palm sugar and vanilla extract over medium heat. Add the cornstarch slurry.
Cook, stirring constantly until thickened. This may take up to 8-10 minutes.
Remove from heat. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap to the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Set aside.
Combine the blackberries with 2 tablespoon coconut palm sugar in a bowl or large measuring cup. Use an immersion blender to puree until it is mostly smooth. Alternatively use a regular blender.
Add ⅔ of blackberry puree to the coconut milk mixture. Mix well or use an immersion blender to combine them.
Pour creamy mixture into each well of the popsicle mold, filling them about ¾ full.
Top off each well with the plain blackberry puree, leaving about ½”/12mm space at the top. Using a butter knife, swirl through each of the wells to create a blended pattern.
Place the cover on the popsicle mold if it has one. Place a popsicle stick in the center of each well, leaving about 1 ½”/4cm of stick exposed.
Freeze for at least 8 hours.

Notes

The kind of molds you choose will determine the number of popsicles you make. For the easiest results, use silicone molds.

When you’re portioning the popsicles, leave ½ an inch of space at the top for them to expand. You also want to tap the molds on the table to remove any air bubbles before you freeze them.

To remove them from the mold, fill a pan with hot water and place the tips of the popsicle mold in for about 10 seconds. This will help them loosen up.
