the popsicle project | week 4.5: are you coconuts? man,go to the beach!

hello, my name is michelle, and i'm a popsicle-holic.

you guys. i made THREE popsicles this week. it's like i dont have a life lololololhahhaa...tear #sadlife. in any case, i'm spreading the love and pacing the posting of each one BUT couldn't wait to share this one - hence week 4.5's popsicle.

this tasty lil treat was inspired by misa, who suggested a mango sticky rice popsicle via IG, and generated by my bff katie and her boo michael. katie had made a batch of fresh coconut milk whipped cream (which i could've eaten with a spoon aka i ate with a spoon). such a delish pop, such a fun trip, such best friends!



What's in it:


Ingredients:

  • Pureed mango
  • Coconut milk
  • Sugar
  • Meyer's original dark rum


Prep time: maybe like.... 15 minutes?
So... I had TWO people working on this since Michael was helping AND i didn't actually make the whipped cream, katie had it made already, so prep time is really a shot in the dark and not accurate at all.

For the coconut whipped cream:
From what katie describes, you buy one of those cans of coconut milk. there should be two parts if you open it up - the water that separates out, and then the cream. you spoon out the cream, add some sugar, and whip it up into a whipped cream. I came in at this point and folded in some dark rum.

Mango:
Throw in the blender with some rum and some sugar, should turn out to be a silky pasty texture.

Pour into the mold, as half and half as possible. makes really pretty swirls!


ta da!:


Rating: *****
not only do i love the view behind this popsicle, but i LOVE THIS POPSICLE. this is the best one yet. the mango really cuts through the rum, so you dont even know you're getting booze while you're consuming it, and the coconut whipped cream gives it a really velvet-y fudgcile type of feel. plus mango and coconut are just lovers made in flavor heaven.
