# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They freeze into creamy, dreamy pops without any ice cream maker or complicated equipment needed.
  • The two-tone layers look striking on a plate, making something homemade feel like a special treat.
  • Naturally vegan and dairy-free, so you can serve them to literally everyone without anyone feeling left out.
02 -
  • Don't let the coconut milk sit in the fridge straight from the can—use it at room temperature so it blends smoothly instead of clumping when it meets the raspberry layer.
  • If your pops won't come out of the molds, run them under warm water a little longer, but not so long that they start melting on the outside.
03 -
  • Freeze the molds in the coldest part of your freezer so they freeze faster and with better texture.
  • If your coconut milk is very thick straight from the can, warm it gently or stir it with a spoon before whisking so it combines evenly with the other ingredients.
