Ingredients
  

1 cup full-fat coconut milk (for extra creaminess)

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla, based on preference)

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (approximately 4 limes)

Zest of 2 limes (adds vibrant flavor)

1/4 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference)

1/4 teaspoon salt (enhances flavors)

Optional: 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for added texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the full-fat coconut milk, Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, honey (or agave syrup), and salt. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

    Taste and Adjust: Take a moment to taste the mixture. If you prefer a sweeter popsicle, gradually add more honey or agave syrup until it reaches your desired sweetness.

      Incorporate Coconut (Optional): If you’re including shredded coconut, gently fold it into the mixture at this stage. This will add a delightful texture to your popsicles.

        Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the creamy lime mixture into popsicle molds. Make sure to leave a small amount of space at the top of each mold to allow for expansion as the popsicles freeze.

          Add Sticks: If your popsicle molds are designed for sticks, insert them into the mixture at this point. If not, wait until the popsicles have begun to freeze slightly (after about 1-2 hours) before inserting sticks.

            Freeze: Carefully place the filled molds in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Unmold: To remove the popsicles from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them. Then, gently pull on the sticks to release the popsicles.

                Serve: Enjoy your zesty creamy lime popsicles immediately! If you prefer to save some for later, store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer, where they will keep well for up to one month.
