    These lavender vanilla popsicles are the perfect summer treat. They are so easy to make, have the best flavour, and are so refreshing. They are made with just 5 ingredients and are dairy free, vegan and paleo.

    Popsicles like my avocado fudgesicles are some of my favourite summer treats, and making them yourself is not only cheaper than buying them at the store, but they are usually healthier too, which is why I am so excited to share another popsicle recipe with you!

    Why you will love this recipe:

    • These vegan vanilla popsicles are so good! They have a rich vanilla flavour with subtle hints of lavender. 
    • Even though these popsicles are made from scratch they are quick and easy to make and you only need 5 ingredients to make them.
    • These popsicles are refined sugar free making them healthy compared to most store bought popsicles. They are also dairy free, vegan, gluten-free, and paleo.
    • They store well in the freezer so you can have them on hand whenever you want a healthy, refreshing treat. 

    If you love lavender you will want to read my post, what to do with dried lavender.

    Ingredients and substitutions: 

    • Coconut milk - full fat coconut milk forms the base of these dairy free popsicles. Be sure to use full fat and not low fat coconut milk which is too watery and will make these popsicles icy rather than creamy.
    • Vanilla extract - to give this frozen dessert its rich vanilla taste. 
    • Lavender flowers - these add the 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 while keeping them refined sugar free. If you are vegan just be sure to use maple syrup. 
    • Sea salt - this helps enhance the delicious flavours of these popsicles.

    How to make (step-by-step): 

    Step one:

    First, place all the ingredients into your blender and blend well until smooth.

    Step two:

    Next, transfer the blended ingredients to your popsicle mold. Place the lid on the mold and place a popsicle stick into each hole.

    Step three:

    Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for approximately 3 hours, until the popsicles are frozen. 

    Step four:

    When you are ready to eat the popsicles, remove the mold from the freezer and then enjoy!

    Top tips:

    • Be sure to use full fat coconut milk rather than low fat coconut milk for making these popsicles. Low fat coconut milk has more water in it so it would make these popsicles icy rather than creamy.
    • After taking the popsicle mold out of the freezer, run the mold under hot water for a few seconds to make the popsicles easier to remove from the mold.

    Recipe variations and add ins:

    • If you are vegan use maple syrup instead of honey to sweeten these popsicles.
    • If you like a sweeter popsicle, add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. 
    • If you don't like lavender, leave it out to make vanilla popsicles instead. 

    How to store: 

    Store these popsicles in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just keep the popsicles in the mold until you are ready to eat them.

    Frequently asked questions: 

    Why do you recommend using full fat and not low fat coconut milk?

    Low fat coconut milk has more water in it, whereas full fat coconut milk has more fat, which gives it a more rich and creamy texture which is what you want for making these popsicles. 

    Are these popsicle paleo?

    Yes! This vanilla popsicle recipe is paleo friendly. 

    Can you have popsicles on Whole30?

    You cannot have popsicles when you are doing a Whole30. The Whole30 program does not allow any desserts to be eaten when on the program.
