Treats come in many different shapes and sizes. For some of us, it is a small treat, such as a bite of chocolate. For others, it might be a huge slice of pie. This particular treat falls somewhere in the middle but it is sure to please even the fussiest of those who love something sweet. They are cookies and coconut cream popsicles, and you make them at home.
Popsicles have been on the treat menu at my house for as long as I can remember. There is just something about grabbing one out of the freezer and biting off a piece while it is still freezing cold. Of course, it isn’t only the taste of the popsicle, it is the experience as well. That is what makes this recipe one to remember. You know everything that goes into these yummy treats and you can eel good about giving them to the kids. Of course, you will want to save some for yourself as well.
Here’s how to make them.
Ingredients:
1 can coconut milk (you can also use coconut cream)
approximately 15 Oreo cookies
Directions:
Shake the can of coconut milk well and pour it into a small mixing bowl.
Take 6-8 cookies and crush them. You can do this by putting them in a small food processor, or into a baggie and then using a rolling pin to roll over it and crush the cookies. They don’t have to be completely crushed, you can leave as much texture in as you like.
Fold the crushed cookies into the coconut milk, don’t mix too much, just fold.
Spoon a small amount of the mixture into the bottom of your popsicle molds.
Insert a whole cookie into each of the molds. Carefully insert a popsicle stick into the molds, the stick will fit right into the filling of the cookie and stand by itself.
Fill the molds with the rest of the cookies and cream mixture.
Freeze until solid. This will take several hours.
To remove the popsicles, fill your sink with hot water, and immerse the mold up to, but not over the top lip and hold for 15 seconds. Remove from the water and then gently remove the popsicles.
To store for later, wrap each popsicle well with waxed paper, and then put in freezer baggies.
Enjoy!
