Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned pineapple?
Fresh pineapple provides the best flavor, but canned pineapple packed in juice can work in a pinch. Be sure to drain it well before blending.
Can I make these without honey?
Yes. You can substitute maple syrup or simply leave out the sweetener if your pineapple is especially ripe and sweet.
What type of coconut milk works best?
Full-fat coconut milk creates the creamiest popsicles, but light coconut milk will also work.
How long do homemade popsicles take to freeze?
Most popsicles need at least 6 hours to freeze completely, though overnight is even better.
