Key Lime Pops
By Joy McCarthy
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz/400 ml) coconut milk
- 1 ripe medium avocado, peeled and cubed
- Juice of 2 limes
- ¼ cup light maple syrup
Preparation
Shake can of coconut milk until you hear the milk change from solid to liquid. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until well combined. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. If you have trouble removing the popsicles, run the mold under lukewarm water.
