Coconut-Lime Popsicles with Strawberries

It's time for another Behind the Curtain Dessert Challenge by Lady Behind the Curtain!  Are you wondering, 'what's the  Behind the Curtain Dessert Challenge?'  Every month we are assigned two ingredients (this month it's Coconut and lime).  We are to take those two ingredients and create or find a recipe using those ingredients.

It's finally warming up around here, so I thought it would be fun to make some homemade popsicles.  My kids LOVE popsicles.  In the spring/summer months the freezer is always stocked with freezer pops and different kinds of popsicles, but HOMEMADE popsicles are an extra special treat!

3 Tablespoons of honey
1 pound strawberries, cleaned and chopped
Directions
1. Stir together coconut milk, lime juice and honey in med. bowl. 
2. Add chopped strawberries to popsicle molds. 
3. Pour in coconut milk mixture. Shake molds to make sure you get the coconut milk mixture throughout.

5. Put popsicle mold quickly under running hot water for easier removal of the popsicles.

Chopped strawberries added almost up to the "Fill To" line.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

The Results...
Coconut-Lime Popsicles with Strawberries are very simple to make and full of healthy ingredients.  I made these popsicles after the older kids were off to school in the morning.  They were frozen and ready to eat by the time the kids returned home.

All four kids mostly liked them.  My son liked the coconut-lime part, but didn't care for the chopped strawberries inside.  My 8 yr. old suggested that I puree the strawberries next time and mix them with the rest of the ingredients to make a smooth popsicle.  My 5 yr. old liked the chopped strawberries inside.  My toddler didn't say much, she was too busy eating her popsicle.  She ate her whole popsicle, except for one bite that I tried to sneak (which she was not very happy about!).
