Honeydew Kiwi Coconut Popsicles

July 6, 2016 by rachelle 19 Comments

The popsicle break was short-lived.

Honeydew Kiwi Coconut Popsicles

It’s just so dang hot, y’all!  I can’t help mysel!.  I actually made these during the Popsicle Week, but they didn’t make it to publication.  Life, work, and all that jazz.  Yada, yada, yada.

Honeydew Kiwi Coconut Popsicles

I had an abundance of kiwi in my fridge begging not to turn to slime and a honeydew melon that needed a purpose, so to borrow a phrase from Guy Fieri, they all went into the coconut water pool and became a green popsicle.

Speaking of pools, I’m on stay-cay from my real job this week, so we’re going to keep this short.  I can’t leave you with images of steps like Jennifer demands, so I’ll just leave you with a bunch of photos of some green honeydew kiwi coconut popsicles.

I have the need to share my addiction.

There are worse things I could do.  I borrowed that quote from Rizzo.

Have an awesome weekend, y’all!

  • 1/2 small honeydew melon peeled, seeded, cubed
  • 4 kiwi peeled and halved
  • 6 ounces coconut water divided

  2. Pour into popsicle molds 2/3 - 3/4 way full
  3. Add kiwi and remaining coconut water to a food processor or high speed blender and puree to combine - careful not to over blend because the kiwi seeds will darken the mixture

Boozy Red White and Blueberry Limoncello Popsicles

June 30, 2016 by rachelle 8 Comments

I just can’t stop.

Boozy Red White and Blueberry Limoncello Popsicles-9

Somebody send help because I’m totally addicted to popsicles.  It’s been so dang hot here and the berries are everywhere and all up in my face!  Farmer’s Market.  Publix.  The Teeter.  They beg me to buy them, throw them into my Vitamix, and make popsicle magic with the gallons of cans of coconut milk currently residing in my pantry.

Just add booze.

Trust me.  I know that boozing up my popsicles must come as a terrible shock.

 

Boozy Red White and Blueberry Limoncello Popsicles-7

Even though I’m late to the party, I couldn’t forget to come on and ride this red white and blue train because it’s 4th of July already!  Whaaaaaat?!?!?!

Boozy Red White and Blueberry Limoncello Popsicles-4

 

And I know everyone is lamenting about where in tarnation did the time go, but seriously, where in tarnation did the time go?

Boozy Red White and Blueberry Limoncello Popsicles-5

 

I don’t know about you, but I’m so not about dwelling on time passing because that’s totally not my jam. I’m going to keep making popsicles and stuffing them in my face for as long as it makes me happy – even if this sickness turns into peppermint popsicles in December.  I’ll own it.

Boozy Red White and Blueberry Limoncello Popsicles-10

 

So, I had all kinds of berries in my fridge (see above berry buying problem) and a big bottle of limoncello on hand, so that was enough to make dangerous boozy popsicle magic.  Can you seriously complain about a cocktail and a popsicle all in one?  I can’t.  Have you met me?  I’ll own that too.

I’m so glad we had this little talk.  I don’t know about you, but I sure do feel better.

Boozy Red White and Blueberry Limoncello Popsicles

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup limoncello divided
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries
  • 1 can coconut milk full fat and I had about 1/3 cup leftover that I used in smoothies

Instructions

  1. Add blueberries and 1/4 cup limoncello to a high speed blender or food processor and puree until smooth
  2. Pour into popsicle molds 1/3 full
  3. Rinse blender and add strawberries and remaining 1/4 cup limoncello and puree until smooth
  4. Slowly pour coconut milk on top of blueberry popsicle layer to 2/3 full
  5. Slowly pour the strawberry limoncello puree on top of the coconut milk layer to fill the molds
  6. Cover, insert sticks, and freeze overnight

 

Note: Add 1 -2 tablespoons of agave to each of the fruit layers while pureeing if you have a sweet tooth or your fruit is not as sweet as you want it.

Note: If your pops don’t come out easily run them under some warm water for 15 seconds.  If they are still stuck, run them under warm water for another 10 seconds or so.

P.S. Don’t get too aggressive while trying to remove your pops from the molds or you could end up somewhat frustrated

Have a safe and happy 4th, y’all!

It’s Popsicle Week 2016, yo!

Strawberry Kiwi Coconut Popsicles

These Strawberry Kiwi Coconut Pops are my second contribution to this party!  I’m having so much fun with Popsicle Week, I’m kind of out of control over here.  I had to buy a second popsicle mold. Thank you Amazon Prime for always having my back and making packages magically land on my porch in two days.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Amazon is not sponsoring this post.  They just hold the key to my heart.

I digress.  As usual.  Anyhoo – Popsicle Week is the brain child of Billy from Wit & Vinegar.  This is my first year at the party, but it’s the fourth year of celebrating summer with a week totally full of amazing popsicle recipes.

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops + 50 Summer Cookout Recipes

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops + 50 Summer Cookout Recipes

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops

 

Hi, y’all!  I’ve missed you!  My personal and professional lives got totally busy and complicated and I had to take some much needed time to make some decisions.  While I love this here website and all you fine and wonderful friends, I’ve been thinking for some time about cutting back on my twice weekly posting. Seriously, I don’t know how some of you with full time jobs manage to keep up with posting multiple times a week. My hat is off to all of y’all.

 

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops

 

So, I’m coming at you on a Wednesday with some boozy popsicles to announce that I’m going to be posting only one time a week at least for the duration of the summer.  I may also boycott all social media, but that’s a radical decision that has yet to be made.

 

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops

 

While I’ve said that I’ve been contemplating this decision for a while, it was this post from my friend, Annie that was really the turning point and helped me realize that I need to stop and smell the roses or take a moment to enjoy a sangria on the patio with my husband.  Or pet a puppy.  Or enjoy a boozy popsicle just because I happen to have an abundance of tequila and strawberries.

 

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops

 

So let’s get this summer season kicked off right now with some Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Ice Pops! We combined some strawberries, key limes, Greek yogurt, and of course, tequila and poured it all into an ice pop mold for a tangy, boozy, tasty, treat to beat the summer heat.  Not that we’ve had much of that around the Carolinas lately, but it’s on the way.  Trust me.

 

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops

 

Not only are we having some delicious boozy frozen treats on this fine Wednesday morning, I’ve got a bonus for you!  The Memorial Day holiday is upon us and that means the unofficial start of summer is next week, so it’s officially barbecue season ’round these parts! In celebration, I’ve teamed up with several fellow bloggers to bring you 50+ recipe ideas for a smashing summer shindig. See all the recipes for our Great Blogger BBQ below!
