Ingredients

  • 2 cups strawberries fresh, hulled & quartered + a couple extra, chopped, optional
  • 1/2 cup simple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt
  • 6 1/4 fluidounces coconut milk just over 3/4 cup canned
  • 7 fluidounces sweetened condensed milk scant cup
  • 1/3 cup half-and-half
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt
  • pure vanilla extract big splash
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 avocado pitted & scooped out of peel
  • 1 cup kale leaves chopped, only, packed
  • 1/2 cup simple syrup more or less, to taste**
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 8 tablespoons coconut water or milk of any variety - cow, coconut, almond, rice, soy

Directions

  1. 1
    Begin by blending all of the ingredients under smooth in a blender. Fill the bottom third of your popsicle molds with the mixture. Add a few small pieces of chopped strawberry, if you wish. Freeze until solid (or at least extremely firm); it will take a few hours.
  2. 2
    You can either add the popsicle sticks the molds after an hour or so, when they're just firmer than slushy, or you can wait to add the sticks until you've added the next layer. It really depends on the size of the molds you're using and how deeply you want the sticks to go.
  3. 3
    white layer:
  4. 4
    Toast the coconut in a small pan until golden in spots (watch it carefully, so that it doesn't burn). Pour out of pan (into a bowl or onto a plate or parchment) and let cool completely.
  5. 5
    Add the cooled toasted coconut plus all of the other ingredients for the coconut ice pops to the jar of a blender, and turn on until combined. Fill another third of your popsicle molds with this mixture. Freeze until solid (or at least extremely firm); it will take another few hours.
  6. 6
    If you didn't add the popsicle sticks already, slide them into the center of the pop once this layer has gotten just harder than slushy (after about an hour in the freezer).
