Vanilla Peach Pops

There’s only one thing more summery than juicy, ripe peaches: Juicy, ripe peaches frozen into sweet, melty, almond milk popsicles! It’s summer on a stick, friends.

First, you need to get your hands on some really good peaches. If you can’t find good peaches, use whatever juicy peak-season fruit you do have. (Sliced strawberries would be excellent here).

For the base, whisk Vanilla Almond Breeze, with a touch of coconut oil and maple syrup. You could also use plain (sweetened) almond milk and add a bit of vanilla bean. (I’d stay away from vanilla extract this time).

These are pretty lightly sweetened, which is my personal preference. Feel free to add more maple syrup if you wish. Or get fancy and simmer your peaches into a peach purée.

Because its summer, and I was lazy, I kept it simple…

Fill a popsicle mold with chopped peaches and pour the almond milk mixture over top. Don’t worry, if you don’t have a popsicle mold, you can use little cups instead. Just let them freeze for an hour or so before placing the sticks.

Now the hard part: waiting. Let them freeze overnight (or about 10 hours).

Serves: 10 popsicles
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Bring vanilla almond milk to room temp, (otherwise the melted coconut oil will harden as you add it). Whisk the almond milk together with coconut oil, maple syrup and a pinch of salt.
  2. Slice peaches into small pieces and drop them into a popsicle mold.
  3. Pour the almond milk mixture over the peaches. (Depending on the size of your peaches you might have extra). Place sticks, then freeze overnight.
Notes
Don't use unsweetened almond milk or you will have to add more sugar to the recipe.

If you don't have a popsicle mold, you can freeze them in little cups.

I have this popsicle mold.

      ha, well they don’t need quite 20, I’ve made them in the morning and they’re ready by evening (and vice versa!).

        haha. That was a typo on my part for sure! Freudian slip maybe? 10 hours might feel like 20 when dessert is involved!

  5. I know how good the Texas peaches are -I was just enjoying them a few weeks ago. So I love all the ideas you have had to highlight and compliment them this summer! Even though the Swiss peaches are not Texas/Hill Country peaches they are still pretty good and I am going to do a better job of making them a centerpiece in dishes this summer, thanks to you. 🙂

  6. Love the look of these… and I’m kind of obsessed with finding the BEST peaches right now. I’ll have to give these a whirl. Also… don’t you love that popsicle mold? I have one too and it’s the best!

      I do! This was the first time I used it, super easy 🙂

  7. These are gorgeous! And I’m pumped about the fact that they’re healthy too. We finally just got peaches at the farmers market last week so I’ll try these soon.

      Thanks! I love it when fruit is so great it can count as “dessert’ without much else.

      Ha, well you can always freeze them in little cups (although the popsicle mold is pretty fun)

  11. These are gorgeous… I love that they’re vegan and I love the milky white contrasting with the juicy summery peaches. Yum!!
