Peaches and Cream Pie Popcicles

Peaches and Cream Pie Popcicles

Popsicles are a great way to cool down in the hot summer sun and are a big hit with the kids.  I personally haven’t bought a Popsicle from a store in about 5 years, and that is because of what most Popsicles are made of.  One of the main ingredients in almost all Popsicles is sugar, which is probably the reason why kids love them so much.  I have created a great summer treat using natural sugars, that still taste amazing.

Makes approx 4-6 Popsicle
You will need:
-16 peach slices
-1/2 cup coconut milk
-1/4 cup of water
-4 tsp of honey
-1/4 tsp cinnamon
-some chopped peaches
1) In a blender add peach slices, coconut milk, water, honey, and cinnamon, and blend until smooth.
2) Add your chopped peaches to your Popsicle trays, don’t fill more then half way. Then pour blended mixture into trays until full.
3) Freeze for 4 hours or until frozen all the way through, and enjoy.
