Print Recipe

Total Time: 8 hours 20 minutes
Yield: 10 popsicles

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups blackberries (fresh or frozen and defrosted)

1 2/3 cups coconut milk (1 can)

6 tablespoons light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons cornstarch

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of coconut milk, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine remainder of coconut milk with 4 tablespoons brown sugar and vanilla extract over medium heat. Add the cornstarch slurry.
Cook, stirring constantly until thickened. This may take up to 8-10 minutes.
Remove from heat. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap to the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Set aside.
Combine the blackberries with 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a bowl or large measuring cup. Use an immersion blender to puree until mostly smooth. Alternatively use a regular blender.
Add 2/3 of blackberry puree to the coconut milk mixture. Use an immersion blender to combine.
Pour creamy mixture into each well of the popsicle mold, filling them about ¾ full.
Top off each well with the plain blackberry puree, leaving about 1/2”/12mm space at the top.
Once the molds are filled, tap on the table to remove any air bubbles.
Using a butter knife, swirl through each of the wells to create a blended pattern.
Place the cover on the popsicle mold if it has one. Place a popsicle stick in the center of each well, leaving about 1 ½”/4cm of stick exposed.
Freeze for at least 8 hours.
When ready to unmold, fill a pan with hot water. Place the tips of the popsicle mold in the hot water for 10 seconds to make release easier.
Store in individual sealed plastic bags or wrapped in plastic wrap in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Notes

Texture/taste: A cold, creamy, vegan treat made with blackberries and a cornstarch coconut pudding for a popsicle that isn’t icy and melts deliciously in your mouth. The fresh fruit flavor of the blackberries shines through, with a light coconut undertone balanced with vanilla and brown sugar. Perfect for hot summer days or an anytime fruity snack.
Vanilla extract: Adding vanilla extract (and brown sugar) helps balance out the coconut flavor. To embrace the coconut flavor, replace the vanilla with 2-3 teaspoons lemon juice.
Coconut milk: For best results, use a full-fat coconut milk. Light coconut milk or other non-dairy milks will produce a less creamy, more icy popsicle base. Thickening the coconut milk with cornstarch before freezing results in a popsicle that is softer and less icy – more like a pudding popsicle, though the mixture does not need as much cornstarch or cooking to take it all the way to pudding consistency. Freezing coconut milk without thickening will result in the fats and water separating, making for an inconsistent texture through the popsicle.
Flavor variations: Swap the blackberries for 2 cups raspberries or 2 1/2 cups strawberries.
