So Long Summer Popsicle Round Up to see summer off with my tart and sweet Lemon Coconut Sprinkle Popsicles and nine other indulgent frozen treats.
Tomorrow is officially the last day of summer in these parts. Sigh... Today, I'm wrapping up my summer popsicle series with some mouth-watering Lemon Coconut Sprinkle Pops, along with a few faves from a number of my popsicle peeps from across the blogosphere! Let's get it poppin'...
Let's start things off with this creamy, coconutty, citrusy, mouth-watering blend. I made these earlier in the summer while channelling my inner unicorn, but never got around to sharing them... until now! You can find the recipe at the end of this post. But let's take the scenic route and spend some time drooling over these frozen treats from some of my bloggy peeps.
I fell head-over-heels the moment I saw these Masala (Spiced) Coke Popsicles from Sonali over at Sugar et al! I don't drink sodas, but these looked and sounded so intriguing, they warranted breaking my self-imposed rule, once... okay maybe twice. So worth it!
Regina from Leelalicious and I met over two years ago while she and her husband trekked across South East Asia and we have been blogging buddies since! It was her Summer No-Bake Party last year that sparked my frozen treat series. Her Coconut Strawberry Swirl Pops are the perfect summer treat - creamy, fruity, YUMMY! Believe me, I tried them!
I believe it was these Toasted Coconut Banana Bread Ice Cream Sandwiches that connected Kelly from Life Made Sweeter and I on Instagram. Come on folks, banana bread stuffed with ice-cream! My life is most definitely sweeter and will be even more so, once I get around to whipping up a batch.
Matt, the man behind Real Food By Dad is certainly keeping things real! He is fairly new on the blogging scene, but you would never tell. Just looking at his adult-friendly Tropical Tequila Sunrise Pops transports me to warmer climes on white sandy beaches with not a care, but the wind in my hair. I'd say it's time for another vacation with a few of these to go - thank you!
Abbie, the 17 year old behind Everything Needs Salt, whipped up a batch of Vegan Maple Vanilla Ice Cream with Wild Blueberry Swirl to celebrate her blog's first birthday. Vegan never looked so...um...DEEELISH! And blueberries of the wild variety always have my tastebuds.
Oh So Sweet Baker, Rochelle's collection of summer treats made it difficult to choose just one. With an ingredient list that includes passion fruit, pineapple and rum I decided these Spiked Tropical Popsicles were just the treat to get any party started, RIGHT!
Ashley is The Recipe Rebel behind this Raspberry Watermelon Sorbet. What's summer without watermelon and berries? Well, it's still summer, but so much tastier with frozen bowl of melon and berries! Wouldn't you agree?!?
And speaking of berries...Lyndsay from Coco Cake Land combined her BC berries with coconut milk and Greek yogurt to create these lovely lilac Blackberry Coconut Popsicles. A perfectly, pretty end to our So Long Summer Round-Up!
A BIG thank you to all my bloggy buds for allowing me use of their images.
And now back to my Lemon Coconut Sprinkle Pops! They are delightful. Give them a try. And if you have a couple minutes to spare, spruce up your popsicle sticks with a little washi tape like I did. A treat at the end of your treat!
I hope you have enjoyed this round-up and will be inspired to freeze some treats for your next gathering. Although it is wrapping up in my neck of the woods, I know summer is just around the corner for a number of you.
I had my fill of popsicles this summer and have such fond memories to accompany them. What has been most memorable about your summer?
