It’s Popsicle Week!!!
I LOVE popsicle week. If you’re unfamiliar, let me give you the low-down. Amelia’s uncle and one of my favorite humans alive, Billy Green of Wit and Vinegar, hosts it every year. This year over 100 bloggers are participating!! WHAA!!! Amazing. You might’ve noticed this in your Instagram or blog reader this week and it’s all bc of his passion for all things popsicles.
Last year I made these very fun and festive Funfetti Cake Batter Popsicles. This year I wanted to get a little bit more grown-up, a little more sophisticated. Enter: black sesame paste. It’s one of my favorite ingredients (remember these cookies?). Think black tahini. That’s basically what it is and tastes like. If you’re having trouble finding black sesame paste, then just use tahini—it’ll taste EXACTLY the same.
OH and P.S. this is the popsicle mold I use. I bought it a few years ago and it’s really good quality.
Ingredients You’ll Need for Black Sesame Coconut Popsicles
- Milk – Condensed milk will make the popsicles rich, creamy and sweet. Canned coconut milk gives a fun tropical flavor that pairs so well with the black sesame paste.
- Black sesame paste – It gives an incredible color to the popsicles. Since black sesame paste tastes JUST like tahini, you can use either one for this recipe!
- Freeze-dried strawberries – Used as garnish. Strawberries go so well with these popsicles!
For the rest of the ingredients, please refer to the recipe index card below!
How To Make Black Sesame Coconut Popsicles
- Blend. Add all the ingredients to a blender, except for the freeze-dried strawberries, if using. Pour popsicle mixture into popsicle molds.
- Freeze popsicles for 2 hours then add the popsicle sticks. Continue freezing for another 5 hours to overnight.
- Serve. Freeze a parchment paper line sheet pan for 30 minutes. Remove popsicles from their molds then freeze on the prepared sheet pan for another 30 minutes. Serve with crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
