  • fat coconut milk 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for Paleo) 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger A pinch of sea salt Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by combining the coconut milk, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, lime zest, ground ginger, and a pinch of sea salt in a blender. Blend until well combined and the honey or maple syrup has fully dissolved. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until solid. When ready to serve, remove from the mold and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Chef’s Insight

Use a microplane zester for the best results when zesting the lime, as it ensures minimal pith in your zest and a more aromatic, flavorful result.

Notes

To make these popsicles even more indulgent, try drizzling a bit of melted coconut cream on top before serving.
