Pina Colada Popsicle Recipe

Hooray, hooray! We are finally getting some beautifully hot and sunny summer days! It’s finally been officially hot enough to go to the pool and Penny is cast-free as of last week so we are living it up, crazy-style! One of my favorite things to make (and my littles to eat) in the summer are popsicles. I’d rather make them myself so I know exactly what ingredients are in them then buy the junky ones at the store. A lot of times I will just make smoothies and freeze them into popsicles but lately our go-to popsicles are these awesome Pina Colada Popsicles! They have just the right amount of sweetness and pineapple coconut-iness that makes the pure perfection!!!
To make these Pina Colada Popsicles you only need two ingredients (well, three if you want to add in a little rum extract but you don’t have too!) I also blend them just enough so that they are still a bit pulp-y. So they are like yummy real fruit bars. But if you are not a fan of that and don’t like that sort of texture just keep on blending until they are nice and smooth.

Seriously. You only need two ingredients to get you dreaming of a Jamaican getaway!

You will need one 20 oz can of crushed pineapple with the juices and 2/3 cup of Cream of Coconut. You usually will find this in your grocery store where you buy mixers for alcoholic drinks. I would implore you not to use coconut milk as you will not get the same sweetness and creaminess that the Cream of Coconut adds. It is a truly necessary part of these popsicles. Okay. You have been warned! You may also add in 1/4 teaspoon of rum extract. This will give you more of an authentic pina colada taste. Sometimes I add it, and sometimes I don’t. They really are great either way. Blend up all the ingredients and pour the mixture in to a popsicle mold. Depending on your mold, you may get anywhere from 8 to I don’t know popsicles. It’s all a guessing game peeps! Then freeze those babies for a while. I usually make these at night so that they are ready to eat by morning…or late morning if you are a mean mom like me and won’t let your kids eat popsicles for breakfast.  Yum, yum,  and yum! There is nothing quite so tasty as the pineapple coconut combination of a pina colada!

Thanks for stopping by today!
