Notes
You can make this recipe without added sweetener if the fruit is already very sweet. adjust accordingly.
Use unsweetened coconut cream, not sweetened cream of coconut.
Frozen fruit and coconut cream brands vary, so checking the final volume is the best way to fill eight molds accurately.
For a vegan version, substitute maple syrup or agave for the honey.
If you have a small amount left after filling the molds, freeze it in a paper cup or ice cube tray.
Estimated nutrition is approximately 95 calories per popsicle when made with 3 tablespoons honey. The exact amount varies considerably by coconut cream brand.
The more sweetener you use, the stickier the popsicles will be.
