Ingredients
- 3 whole Fresh lemons
- 1 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Roll the lemons on a countertop to help release the juices, then slice them in half and juice them into a measuring cup. You’ll need 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice, which is approximately the juice of 3 medium lemons.
Step 2
Zest one of the lemons to get about 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Set aside.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and water until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding a little more maple syrup, if desired.
Step 5
Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top to allow for expansion when freezing.
Step 6
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds. If the sticks don’t stay centered, cover the molds with foil and poke the sticks through the foil to secure them in place.
Step 7
Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the popsicles are fully set.
Step 8
To release the popsicles from the molds, run the molds under warm water for 10–15 seconds to loosen them, then gently remove the popsicles.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
