Cuisine: Paleo, Vegan
Serves: 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and coconut milk, whisking until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add maple syrup to the mixture, stirring until the sweetener is completely dissolved and evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
- Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice into the mixture, using a whisk to blend the spice thoroughly, ensuring no clumps remain.
- Pour in vanilla extract and mix gently to integrate the flavor throughout the popsicle base.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or spice levels if desired, stirring carefully to maintain a consistent texture.
- Slowly pour the prepared mixture into popsicle molds, leaving approximately 1/4 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Insert popsicle sticks into each mold, ensuring they are centered and stand upright.
- Place the filled popsicle molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze completely, which typically takes 4-6 hours or overnight.
- To remove popsicles, briefly run the mold under warm water to help release the frozen treats.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, spiced pumpkin popsicles.
Tips
- Use high-quality, pure pumpkin puree for the most authentic flavor - avoid pumpkin pie filling.
- Ensure your coconut milk is well-mixed before adding to prevent separation.
- Taste your mixture before freezing and adjust spices to your preference.
- For extra richness, use full-fat coconut milk.
- If you don't have popsicle molds, small paper cups with wooden sticks work perfectly.
- To create a swirled effect, partially freeze the mixture and add a drizzle of maple syrup before final freezing.
- For a more intense spice flavor, let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes before pouring into molds to allow spices to bloom.
