Let’s Make Those Tropical Pops!

1. Begin by peeling the pineapple and mangoes. Discard the core and roughly chop the fruits.
2. Into a blender, toss in the chopped fruits.
3. Pour in the coconut milk, ensuring it covers the fruits.
4. Drizzle agave syrup or honey for that touch of sweetness.
5. Squeeze in the fresh lime juice. It’s the tang that brings out the tropical flavor!
6. Blend everything until smooth and creamy.
7. Taste your blend. Adjust the sweetness if needed by adding a tad more agave syrup or honey.
8. Pour the mixture into pop molds, leaving about half an inch at the top to allow the Tropical pops to expand while freezing.
9. Sprinkle some desiccated coconut on top for an added crunch.
10. Stick in the pop sticks and freeze for a minimum of 6 hours, but overnight is best.

Pro Tips for Perfect Tropical Pops

1. Using ripe fruits enhances the natural sweetness, reducing the need for added sugars.
2. Don’t have a pop mold? Use ice cube trays or small cups as alternatives. Just adjust the freezing time.
3. For a smoother consistency, strain the blended mixture before pouring into molds.
4. Ensure your freezer is at its coldest setting for quicker and firmer setting of the Tropical pops.

Serving Suggestions
