the cream portion
- 2 cans coconut milk set aside 1 cup of coconut milk from the cans for peaches mixture below
- 4 medjool dates, extremely soft soak in boiling water in a pot for 10 minutes, or in warm water overnight, covered.
- 1/8 tsp pink Himalayan salt
the peaches portion
- 3 peaches, peeled and chopped into chunks approx 2 cups
- 1 cup coconut milk that you had set aside
- 3 tbsp honey
- squeeze of fresh lime or lemon juice
the peaches portion
start by preparing your peaches portion, place your peeled and chopped peaches, honey and squeeze of lime or lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat, bringing to a boil.
stir frequently, once it begins to bubble, turn down the temperature to a simmer, and continue to stir occasionally for another 30 minutes or so, until the peaches are softened and mush.
remove from heat and set aside while you prep the cream portion.
the cream portion
blend the softened dates (pits and skins removed, the skins can slide right off if they're soft enough), coconut milk and salt in a food processor or blender until completely smooth.
remove from food processor once its well blended and set aside in a container that's easy enough to pour from later.
now throw in your peaches mixture as well as the remaining cup of coconut milk you had set aside, and blend until smooth (you can also leave it a bit chunkier when blending, if you want some peach pieces in the popsicles).
once both your mixtures are prepped, take your popsicle molds, and alternate between pouring in the cream mixture, adding the peaches mixture, and ending with the cream mixture. if you have any leftovers that you can't fit in the popsicle molds, feel free to freeze these as cubes and use in smoothies or enjoy as a frozen snack out of the freezer (also really good in bite-size form!)
cover your popsicle molds, and place in the freezer, ideally for five hours at the minimum. carefully remove, and store in individual little baggies in the freezer and enjoy!
