Steps:

• Add strawberries and 2 teaspoons honey to the pitcher of a blender or to a food processor. Puree. Transfer poureed strawberries to a bowl and rinse out the blender.
• Add blueberries and 2 teaspoons honey to the blender or food processor and puree.
• Alternating in 3-5 layers, pour coconut mix, pureed strawberries, and pureed blueberries into 3-ounce ice pop molds (these are my favorite). Use a skewer or chopstick to blend and swirl layers slightly.
• Add popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, until solid.
• To remove popsicles from molds, submerge just the mold in a bowl of room temperature water for a few seconds until popsicles easily slide out. Serve immediately.

COCONUT ICE POPS

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, mix coconut milk, half-and-half and sugar. Heat over medium heat 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in coconut extract and coconut. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Pour coconut mixture evenly into molds or cups. Cover with foil; place in freezer about 25 minutes or until partially frozen. Insert craft stick through foil into each pop. Freeze 8 hours or until firm. To serve, remove pops from molds or peel off paper cups.

COCONUT, CHERRY AND VANILLA BEAN ICE POPS

Steps:

• Bring the cherries, maple syrup, cinnamon and almond extract to a simmer in a small pot over high heat. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the cherries are juicy and soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, and set aside.
• In another small-to-medium pot, bring the coconut milk and vanilla bean seeds and pods to a simmer over high heat, whisking occasionally. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, let cool for 5 minutes, then whisk in the honey and vanilla extract. Remove and reserve the vanilla bean pod. Pour the mixture into a pitcher or measuring jug and set aside.
• Place a strainer over the blender jar. Add the cooked cherries, and press out the juice. Add 1/3 of the cherry pulp and 1 cup of the coconut milk mixture, and blend until smooth. You should have about 2 cups of liquid. Refrigerate. Divide the remaining coconut milk mixture among ice pop molds, and place them in the freezer until semifrozen, about 1 hour. Remove them from the freezer, and divide the remaining cherry pulp among the molds. Top with the blended cherry-coconut mixture, place the lids on top, add sticks and freeze until solid, at least 8 hours.
• To remove the ice pops, dip the molds in warm water for a few seconds, then carefully pull on the sticks to release.

Distribute mixture evenly between molds, whisking mixture a bit between each one, then cover and freeze for 1 hour. Add the popsicle sticks and continue to freeze until solid, at least 8 hours.
• To unmold, briefly dip the mold in hot water a few times just until the pops can be pulled out. Take care not to melt the pops.
