Instructions

Prepare Blackberry Puree: In a blender or food processor, combine the blackberries with 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup and the lime juice. Blend until smooth. Optionally, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds for a smoother texture. Set aside.
Blend Pineapple Mixture: Rinse the blender, then add the pineapple chunks and remaining tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
Mix Coconut Layer: In a small bowl, mix the coconut milk with vanilla extract thoroughly to combine.
Assemble Popsicles: Layer the blackberry puree, pineapple mixture, and coconut milk into popsicle molds, alternating the layers. Use a skewer or toothpick to gently swirl the layers, creating a marbled effect.
Freeze: Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and place them in the freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely solid.
Remove and Serve: To release the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds, then gently pull out each popsicle. Enjoy immediately or store in the freezer.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup depending on your fruit’s ripeness.
Substitute mango for pineapple for a different tropical flavor.
Use light coconut milk for a lower-fat option, though full-fat provides better creaminess.
Perfect for kids and summer parties as a refreshing and healthy dessert.
