heather (delicious not gorgeous) says: April 5, 2016 i have a problem where i buy a bunch of kiwis, then neglect them until they’re too mushy because i’m too lazy to peel them, and suddenly have to figure out what to do with 7 kiwis at once (besides composting them!). will have to try these out next time that happens (: Reply
Maryanne Cabrera says: April 13, 2016 Once the kiwis start getting soft, keep in the fridge to make them last longer! :)
Trina and Tina says: April 15, 2016 These scream summer! Saving coconut milk for skinny days is supper smart! Can’t wait to make! Thanks! Reply
Jocelyn says: May 31, 2016 These look really delicious!! Is it possible to substitute the coconut milk with cows milk, or will it ruin the recipe? Or is it possible to just use soy milk for the whole recipe? Reply
Maryanne Cabrera says: June 2, 2016 Thanks Jocelyn! If you substitute the coconut milk, the popsicles will not be as creamy. If you use cow’s milk or all soy milk, the popsicles will be very icy.
Maryanne Cabrera says: June 3, 2016 Under the ingredients, it is listed as canned coconut milk. However, if you’d like creamier popsicles, you can use coconut cream.
Hannah says: June 3, 2016 these look so great!! does almond milk work too or just coconut milk? Reply
Maryanne Cabrera says: June 4, 2016 Thanks Hannah! You can use almond milk, but the popsicles won’t be as creamy. With almond milk, they will be a bit icy.
Cathy E says: June 15, 2016 I wonder if using homemade cashew cream (instead of coconut milk) would provide creaminess and not get icy. Will have to try this – thank you for sharing the recipe! Reply
Maryanne Cabrera says: June 15, 2016 I haven’t tried it with cashew cream. The creaminess and ice would be determined by the amount of fat in the cashew cream. If you try it out, please let me know how it works! :)
cindy says: June 15, 2016 i’m allergic to coconut . would canned condensed milk work ? ? ? these look AWESOME ! ! ! really want to give them a shot . . . . Reply
Maryanne Cabrera says: June 15, 2016 No, canned condensed milk would be too sweet. It would throw off the balance. If you can’t consume coconut, you can try other alternative milks but the resulting popsicles may not be as creamy.
Saskia says: June 18, 2016 Hi! Your recipe seems really delicious to me. I’ll definitely try this! Reply
Monisa says: August 12, 2016 Hi there! What do you mean by “1/4 + 1 Tbsp cup chia seeds” – is it 1/4 cup PLUS 1 Tablespoon? Thanks!! Reply
Maryanne Cabrera says: August 15, 2016 Thanks for catching that! It’s 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp of chia seeds.
Tenly says: April 19, 2017 So you don’t have to make the chia pudding ahead of time? You just mix it up right there and pour it directly into the molds? Do the chia seeds have enough time to get soft that way? Reply
Maryanne Cabrera says: April 19, 2017 I mixed together the chia pudding and directly transferred them to into the molds. It takes a few hours for the mixture to solidify. During that period the chia has enough time to absorb the liquids and soften.
MySeeds says: September 5, 2017 Pretty pops fit for a magazine page! Pretty and healthy too…a kiwi has more vitamin C than an orange & even its seeds are good for you. Regarding the milk issue: another way to prevent that dreaded icyness is with a banana. Those don’t freeze solid because of their soluble fiber. So, if you wanted to skip the coconut milk (as the person with the allergy wants) blending in a banana with regular nut milk / rice milk to a smooth puree could also work. It’s a handy sweetener as well & ought to get along with the kiwi as they’re both tropical fruits. But, with the banana in there, it might not need as much added sweetener. Reply
