During the summer months, I feel like my parenting style is a little more relaxed than normal. Bed times get pushed back, the TV stays on a little longer in the mornings, and desserts become almost a weeknight occurrence in our home. To be honest, I wouldn’t really want it any other way. These are some of my favorite times with my kids.
But in that same breathe, I also try to be a little conscious of what my kids put in their bellies. Which is why I am loving these creamy coconut and summer berry popsicles.These creamy coconut and summer berry popsicles are so delicious and satisfying, you’ll forget that they’re actually good for you. I love the way the creamy coconut pairs with the tart, but sweet berries. It’s such a refreshing combination, especially with the berries in season right now. We used local blueberries we found at our farmers market over the weekend, and they were out of this world.
But what I love most about these popsicles is how easy and versatile they are. We used a can of coconut milk that we sweetened with honey, and then topped with berries we had on hand. But you could substitute the berries with just about anything you have in your fridge; peaches, strawberries, or maybe even a little orange puree (was there anything better than orange dreamsicles as a kid?!!!).
It’s a great recipe to get your kids involved in the kitchen with you. Mine love mixing up the honey and coconut milk and measuring out the berries. And of course their favorite part; unmolding the popsicles and sneaking in a few licks. Either way, this creamy coconut and summer berry popsicle recipe is a great way to spend some time together in your kitchen creating something delicious, and making some sweet memories along the way.
