Patriotic Coconut Berry Ice Pops Are A Delicious Red, White and Blue Treat
I remember as a kid hearing the tingling bell of the ice cream truck and racing for a summer treat. My favorites were Good Humor Bars (I LOVED the now-discontinued toasted almond bars) or a traditional Bomb Pop. So you can image how excited I was to sample these Patriotic Coconut Berry Ice Pops in the test kitchen. I love the fruity flavors, thanks to fresh strawberries and two kinds of tropical fruit-coconut and pineapple. And even though you might not use them often, it’s great to keep a set of ice pop molds and a handful of pop sticks at home for anytime treats. I like to freeze extra lemonade, sangria or fruit juice that has been in the fridge for a bit. We love molds that come with lids to keep the pop sticks in place when freezing, but a sheet of foil works in a pinch.
