Taste and texture:

These popsicles are so rich, smoothy and creamy. The main flavour is delicious vanilla, with just the most subtle hints of lavender. They are sweet but not too sweet.

Key ingredients and substitutions: 

• Coconut milk - full fat coconut milk forms the base of these dairy free popsicles. It's really rich and creamy to give this dessert the perfect texture. Be sure to use full fat and not low fat coconut milk. 
• Vanilla extract - to give this frozen dessert that rich vanilla taste. 
• Lavender flowers- this adds the perfect hint of lavender flavour. If you don't like lavender you can simply omit this from the recipe and make vanilla popsicles instead. You can use either fresh or dried lavender flowers for this recipe. Just be sure that any lavender flowers you use are food grade or culinary grade.
• Honey or maple syrup - either of these natural sweeteners can be used to sweeten these popsicles. If you are vegan just be sure to use maple syrup.
