Enjoy a taste of the tropics with these super creamy pina colada popsicles! Coconut milk and fresh pineapple combine to make an easy, dairy free, summer treat that’s oh so refreshing.
Pineapple is such a staple in the summer months. It’s sweet, ripe, and easy to add to recipes like teriyaki rice or a simple smoothie.
But pineapple and coconut is the best combination, isn’t it?
There’s nothing that says tropical island like the combination of fresh pineapple with rich coconut milk. These dairy free pina colada popsicles are an easy way to take a mini-vacation without leaving your house!
These are so super simple to make, and require just 3 ingredients!
To make these pina colada pops, you will need:
- fresh pineapple
- full fat coconut milk
- maple syrup
Can I use a different milk other than coconut milk?
I know some of you have a coconut allergy, so if that’s the case, you can use a different dairy free milk. However, these will not be quite the same without the coconut milk! Rich, full fat coconut milk is the key to the creamy texture of these popsicles.
Can I use frozen pineapple?
I really think fresh pineapple is going to provide the best flavor in this recipe, so if you can find fresh pineapple, that’s best!
How to make pina colada popsicles:
- Place the pinapple, coconut milk, and maple syrup into the blender.
- Blend on high speed until smooth.
- Pour into a popsicle mold.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.
