Servings: 6 people

Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • ½ lemon, juice from
  • pinch cinnamon
  • 8 pecan cookies I use Simple Mills Crunchy Toasted Pecan Cookies
  • 1 14 ounce can coconut milk, full fat
  • 4 ounces cream cheese of choice I use Kite Hill for dairy free/paleo/vegan
  • ½ cup pure maple sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • pinch sea salt

Equipment

  • Popsicle molds

Method
 

  1. Add the blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and cinnamon to a small saucepan and place over medium low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until the blueberries have broken down a bit and the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool for 20 minutes.
  2. Add the pecan cookies to a high speed blender and pulse a few times to break the cookies down, until they are about the consistency of coarse sand. Remove from blender and place in a small bowl.
  3. Add the coconut milk, cream cheese, maple sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender. Blend for 30 seconds (if your blender has a "Frozen Treat" button, use it). Pour the blueberry mixture in and pulse a few times to combine.
  4. Distribute the blender mixture among six popsicle molds. Fill until just below the fill line. Spoon the cookie crumbs into the popsicle molds and use a knife to push the crumbs down into the popsicle. Insert the sticks into the popsicle molds. Freeze overnight, then serve and enjoy!
