Ingredients
VANILLA CREAM:
- 1 can of full-fat coconut milk
- ½ cup cashews - soaked for at least four hours, preferably overnight
- 3 Tbsp coconut nectar or maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
STRAWBERRY COMPOTE
- 1 ½ cup finely chopped strawberries - measured after chopped
- 1 Tbsp coconut nectar or maple syrup
Instructions
- Add strawberry compote ingredients to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, stirring often, for 15 minutes or until the fruit breaks down and the mixture looks like jam. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Meanwhile, make the vanilla cream. Drain and rinse cashews. Place all vanilla cream ingredients, including cashews, in a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Add ½ cup of vanilla cream to the strawberry compote, mix until combined.
- Scoop one big tablespoon of strawberry mix into the bottom of each popsicle mold. Now fill ¾ of the mold with vanilla cream. Divide the rest of the strawberry mix among the six popsicle molds and fill each mold with the remaining vanilla cream. Optional: you can use a knife to create a nice swirl.
- Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 5 hours.
- Enjoy this summery treat!
