Ingredients
- 100g Raspberries
- Juice 1/2 Lemon
- 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
- 1 cup Coconut Milk (from the carton)
- 1/4 cup Sour Cream
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 tsp. Guar Gum
- 20 drops Liquid Stevia
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into a container and use an immersion blender to blend the mixture together.
- Continue blending until the raspberries are completely mixed in with the rest of the ingredients.
- Strain the mixture, making sure to discard all raspberry seeds. I tried making a batch with the seeds still in, and they started to irritate my tongue as I was eating it.
- Pour the mixture into molds. I use this mold for my popsicles. Set the popsicles in the freezer for a minimum of 2 hours.
- Run the mold under hot water to dislodge the popsicles.
- Serve and eat whenever you want!
