  • Total Time: 20 minutes plus freezing time (4–6 hours or overnight)
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 2 large oranges (for zest and a small amount of juice)

Base

  • 1 13.5-ounce can full fat coconut milk

Sweeteners and Spices

  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (to taste, such as erythritol or monk fruit)
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon turmeric (optional)
  • Pinch kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Zest the oranges: Thoroughly zest the two large oranges, taking care to avoid the white pith to prevent bitterness. The zest provides the main orange flavor for the popsicles.
  2. Prepare the mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the can of full-fat coconut milk, sweetener (start with 2 tablespoons and adjust to taste), the orange zest, optional turmeric, and a pinch of kosher salt. Use an immersion blender or whisk until the coconut milk solids dissolve and the mixture is smooth and fully blended. Add about 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice for acidity and extra flavor—up to 4 tablespoons if you like it more tangy. You may substitute lemon juice or vitamin C powder if preferred.
  3. Freeze the popsicles: Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds or an ice cube tray lined with parchment paper. Place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze completely until solid, which usually takes several hours or overnight.
  4. Serve and store: Once set, remove the popsicles from the molds and enjoy immediately, or keep them stored in the freezer for a refreshing treat anytime.

Notes

  • The orange flavor mainly comes from zest; adding juice is optional but adds tang.
  • Turmeric is optional but adds a lovely golden color and subtle earthiness.
  • Adjust sweetener quantity to your taste preference and dietary needs.
  • If you don’t have popsicle molds, a parchment-lined bread pan can work; slice when frozen.
