  • fat coconut milk
  • 1 can of sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup of lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Begin by chilling your coconut milk in the refrigerator. Next, in a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, peppermint extract, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Once the coconut milk has set, scoop out the solidified cream from the cans and add it to the bowl with the lemon mixture. Gently fold them together until you achieve a uniform color and consistency. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and insert sticks. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until solid.
