CREAMY COCONUT POPSICLES
Cream of coconut, not to be confused with coconut milk or coconut cream, is a thick syrupy confection made by blending coconut and sugar and is most often used in piƱa coladas. Mixed with cream, coconut milk and shredded coconut, it gives these pops that classic tropical flair. One note: Coconut milk and cream of coconut naturally separate, so be sure to stir well before measuring.

Steps:
- Have ready a 10-cup (1/3 cup each) popsicle mold. In a large glass measuring cup, combine heavy cream, coconut milk, cream of coconut, shredded coconut, and salt and whisk to combine. 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.

CREAMY COCONUT POPSICLES
A refreshing tropical treat. I like to unmold the popsicles, wrap them in wax paper, and store in a freezer bag so I can use my molds to make other flavors without having to consume the entire batch. Taken from dailycandy for ZWT9.

Tips:
- Use full-fat coconut milk: This will give your popsicles a richer, creamier texture.
- Add a touch of lime or lemon juice: This will help to balance out the sweetness of the popsicles.
- Use fresh fruit: This will give your popsicles a more intense flavor.
- Don't overfill the popsicle molds: Leave a little bit of space at the top so that the popsicles can expand as they freeze.
- Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours before serving: This will ensure that they are completely frozen and solid.
