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.

    I love love LOVE peaches and popsicles, and was super excited about making these last night. Mine turned out not quite as creamy though. 🙁
    They’re mostly ice with a hint of almondy peach. Any ideas on what I could’ve done wrong? I used unsweetened almond milk and upped the amount of maple syrup, but I can’t imagine that made the difference….

      I’m not sure if the unsweetened makes a difference because I only tried it with sweetened vanilla. Mine weren’t super creamy, they’re definitely a lighter snack (I packed mine full with peaches so they were more peach than milk). If you wanted a creamier pop, I’d try adding yogurt or full fat coconut milk – the more fat, the creamier they’ll be. (You could try simmering the peaches which would bring out more flavor too).

    Vanilla and peaches go so well together! I love making popsicles, so I’ll have to add these to my list.

    I use unsweetened almond milk. However I use 1 1/2 tablespoon of orange blossom honey. Perfect. Thanks for the recipe.

  4. Having read this I believed it was rather enlightening. I appreciate you spending some time and energy
    to put this informative article together. I once again find myself spending a lot of time both reading and commenting.
    But so what, it was still worth it!

  5. You really make it seem really easy with your presentation but I find this topic
    to be actually one thing which I think I would by no means
    understand. It sort of feels too complicated and very broad for me.
    I am having a look forward in your subsequent put up, I’ll attempt to get
    the hold of it!

  6. I am curious to find out what blog platform you’re using?
    I’m having some small security problems with my latest site and
    I’d like to find something more safeguarded. Do you have any suggestions?

  7. Nice respond in return of this matter with solid arguments
    and describing everything on the topic of that.

  8. This looks amazing! Have you ever considered putting fresh herbs in your frozen treats? I just made Mango Basil Frozen Yogurt (inspired by a trip to Quito, Ecuador) and it turned out to be a delicious and very unique treat. Worth experimenting with!

  9. I visited many sites but the audio feature for audio songs present at this
    web site is really excellent.

  10. wow, this is inspiring me to order a popsicle mold asap!!

    Hi I was wondering if there’s an alternative for coconut oil? These look good, but would omitting it ruin them??

      It just adds a tiny bit of richness, you could leave it out if you want.

  13. Whoa, beautiful! I’ve been making lots of ice cream (I’m cooking through the national food holidays on my blog like a crazy person), but could still go for pops like these. Now to just get myself a popsicle mold…

  14. I love peaches and cream, so this looks right down my alley!

    Peaches are my life right now! can you believe i NEVER had a fresh peach until this past weekend?! I know… very, very sad. Will make up for lost time starting with this recipe!
    P.S. Not to self promote, but I just posted a video over on my YouTube channel talking about my favorite healthy snacks that I can buy at a store when I simply don’t have time to make something myself. I sincerely thought you might be interested, so here’s the link if you are! http://youtu.be/NqUOXdwSAYM I think of all my fave health/food bloggers when I make videos like this one… So of course I thought of Love and Lemons!
