I'm ready for summer and feeling tropical! So I created these bad-boys. I'm leaving for New Mexico in 3 days where it's going to be so warm and sunshiny and craving summer-time treats lately.
I think what made this so good was the butter extract and the texture of the coconut flakes was divine!
Though, I also used an ingredient I don't normally add to my coconut water popscicles: coconut whipped cream. Yum!
I'd say this took it to the next level. Here is the recipe :)
1 1/2 C. Coconut water
2 Tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes
1/4 tsp. Coconut extract
1/4 tsp. Butter extract
1/4 C. Coconut whipped cream
2 Tbsp pyure sweetener
(OR just sweeten to taste)
2 Tbsp collagen or protein powder. This optional.
1/4 tsp glucomannan or xanthum gum
Directions:
Mix the glucomannan or xanthum gum and collagen in a small bowl and set aside.
Next throw the rest of the ingredients in a blender, adding in the whipped cream last.
Slowly pour in the dry bowl mix while the blender is on.
Finally, pour into popsicle molds and freeze.
Did I mention this is sugar and dairy free?. Also gluten free. Pretty much everything free. You're welcome allergen peeps! :)
If you're feeling in that coconut mood, here is a yummy coconut bread I make.
