Go to Recipe

These perfectly pink pops are on-brand for a a vegan Valentine's Day celebration. When you shop for coconut milk, make sure to choose a brand that lists only coconut and water in its ingredients. There's really no need for added preservatives, fillers and thickeners. The toasted coconut adds a lovely chew and looks pretty when sprinkled on the ends.
