Pinspiration of the Week: Homemade Popsicles

Nothing says summer like food on a stick. Especially if that food is frozen and sweet
Ingredients
4 large carrots
3/4 cup canned coconut milk
1/4 cup almond butter
Juice from 1/4 a lemon
Cinnamon, ginger, salt
Sweetener of choice

Directions
1. Peel your carrots then cover them with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Allow to boil for seven to 10 minutes or until very soft. Drain them and put them into a food processor.
2. Puree the carrots until they are a smooth texture. Then add in coconut milk, almond butter, and lemon juice. You can add more coconut milk or even water if you prefer a thinner consistency and more icy popsicle. Puree until everything is combined.
3. Add in small amounts of cinnamon, ginger, salt, and sweetener. Mix well then taste and adjust the sweetness and seasoning to your liking.
4. Pour into popsicle molds, insert popsicle sticks, and freeze for three to four hours or until they�re solid. To remove them run the bottom part of mold under warm water for a few minutes until the popsicles have loosened. Sprinkle with crushed almond or shredded coconut for garnish.

We're willing to bet you've been eating popsicles since you were a kid spending your summer running through sprinklers. We're also willing to bet that back then it was all Minute Maid lemonade push pops and those Flavor Ice Pops that came in frozen plastic packages.

But now, as a grown up, you can do better. There are way more sophisticated popsicles that look like they came right out of Martha Stewart's freezer. Even better, they're a cinch to make. (No oven required? We're so down).

So when the summer heat hits this year, don't settle for store-bought pops. Check out these ultra-pretty, Pinterest-worthy popsicles that you won't be able to resist making.
