Coconut and pineapple ice lollies recipe

These coconut and pineapple ice lollies are the perfect cheap and easy treat for the whole family.

Customise the toppings and make them with your kids ready for a sunny day or afternoon treat. Kids can help blitz the ingredients for the lollies and pour them into moulds. There are only three steps in the method and they have an initial freeze overnight. Consider prepping them ahead up to this stage and then finish off the decoration with your kids the next day. 

Ingredients

• 400ml tin coconut milk
• 425g tin pineapple pieces in juice
• Zest and juice of 1 lime
• 90g (3oz) frozen raspberries

For the decoration:

• 175g (6oz) vegan dark chocolate, broken into pieces
• 1tbsp coconut oil
• 3tbsp desiccated coconut, plus extra for sprinkling

You will need:

• 10 ice lolly moulds and sticks

Method 

1. Put the coconut milk, pineapple pieces and their juice, lime zest and juice, and raspberries into a blender. Blitz until smooth then divide evenly between the moulds. Insert the sticks and freeze for 12 hrs.
2. Once set, remove from the moulds and return to the freezer on a lined baking tray.
3. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof jug set over a pan of simmering water. Once melted, stir in the desiccated coconut and dip each lolly in. Shake off the excess chocolate then sprinkle over more coconut. Return to the freezer to set for 15 mins before serving.

Top tips for making coconut and pineapple lollies

Most dark chocolate is vegan but check the packet before you buy to be sure. You can swap for milk chocolate if you’d prefer a sweeter coating.

“I love the combination of coconut and pineapple because it reminds me of a pina colada. Consider making a batch of adult-only lollies and add a splash of rum to the mix!” 

Once you have a set of moulds you can make homemade lollies every week!
