Patriotic Red, White, & Blue Coconut Berry Layered Popsicles  

by

Happy Memorial Day! Celebrate our nation’s colors with these fun and refreshing red, white, and blue popsicles. Strawberry makes the red layer, coconut makes the white, and blueberries make the blue. All layered in a bright and festive display, these will mesmerize any guest!

Growing up, my favorite popsicles were the kind with real fruit pieces in them, so I have chosen to leave the strawberry and blueberry layers with some texture, but if you want them to be smooth and more of a puree you can blend them separately before adding to the mold. Depending on the size of your popsicle molds, you may not yield as many popsicles per recipe. If your coconut milk is separated, blend the entire can first until smooth and then only use the amount you need, add honey and blend again. 

These easy, sweet, and creamy popsicles are the perfect treat to keep cool this holiday weekend! Enjoy
