How To Make Homemade Popsicles

These coconut cream popsicles have so many things going for them—the only drawback to homemade popsicles is that you have to wait for them to freeze. We recommend you just go ahead and make a second batch before your first one runs out, that way you are never without this delicious summer treat! Here’s how to make them:

  1. Heat the coconut cream and the sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  2. Pour mixture into a bowl and place in the refrigerator until cooled.
  3. Split vanilla bean if using down the center lengthwise and scrape into the bowl.
  4. Add shredded coconut, pineapple juice & Malibu rum.
  5. Pour mixture into 8 popsicle molds and place in the freezer until frozen.
  6. Carefully remove popsicles from the mold and enjoy!
