Frozen Treats: Tropical Fruit Punch Popsicles
Beat the heat with our week long series on frozen treats! This is a guest post from Naomi of Bakers Royale. Welcome, Naomi!
Summer has just begun and the thermometer is already shouting numbers over 90. Add some humidity to that and a heat-induced laziness will overcome me faster than I can wipe the sweat off my forehead.
As for my boys, the flipside of a heat-induced laziness is crankiness, so to keep everyone moving and happy, I keep my freezer well stocked with fruit popsicles. Full of fruit, easy to make and costing a under a dollar a popsicle, I’m can feel good about us eating one, two or a few in one sitting.
The base for this popsicle is coconut. Being that coconut can be very sweet and strong on its own, I gave this popsicle some balance with raspberry tartness and lending a cooling hand is the citrus edge of the Clementine tangerines.

Which summer fruit are you enjoying in frozen form?
This recipe looks delicious. Can’t wait to make with my daughter and enjoy the results!
I love anything and everything coconut, especially frozen treats 🙂
I have been scowering the internet and blogland looking for a recipe that isn’t full sugar or that I can sweeten with stevia. This might must be it!! Coconut is so good for you too, Bonus! I’ve read that too much water and too little sugar makes them rock hard. Are these softer from the coconut mixture? You know like store bought? Also, where do you find the three different kind of coconut? Do you prefer a certain brand? hank you so much!
I am loving all of the popsicle recipes as of late!
Popsicles! My students would love these. Too bad I can’t bring in any homemade stuff. Oh well, I guess my husband and I will have to eat them on our own! 🙂
I love this idea and the use of coconut and clementines…something I always have on hand.
Thanks,

WOW – those sound delicious, and they’re pretty too!!
These look fantastic, Naomi! I have been loving all the different popsicles you’re making this summer.
Lovely! I need to get myself a popsicle mold!
Gorgeous Naomi!! You are really a genius at these things… thanks for sharing that with us!
Looks amazing…and I love how you styled this! And the recipe is so healthy and yet fresh and delicious looking! I like the way you think! 🙂
Three kinds of coconut, I love that! I could use one of these to beat the heat today.
Ciao Naomi,
gorgeous popsicles and very nice setting picture.

aria from Milano –
My teen daughter just found a box of popsicles molds at the back of the kitchen closet. Now I can give her this recipe for a summer’s day project!
Beautiful! I love anything with healthy coconut milk and water in it. Will be trying these with just berries since I live in the berry filled wonderland of the NW. Hope your staying cool!
Ciao Naomi, The recipe is so healthy and yet fresh and delicious looking! The photographs are amazing! I discovered your popsicles right in time for the deadly summer we are heading into in this part of the world(India)! Thank you for recipe!
