Ingredients You’ll Need
Frozen Peaches
Frozen peaches create the perfect thick and creamy consistency without watering down the mixture. They’re naturally sweet and packed with juicy peach flavor.
Coconut Milk
Full-fat canned coconut milk gives these freeze pops their rich, creamy texture while keeping the recipe dairy-free. If your blender struggles, simply add a little extra coconut milk until everything blends smoothly.
Sugar
Just a half cup of sugar helps balance the tartness of the peaches and creates that classic peaches and cream flavor. You can easily adjust the sweetness to your preference.
How to Make Peaches and Cream Freeze Pops
Step 1
Add the frozen peaches, coconut milk, and sugar to a high-powered blender.
Step 2
Blend until completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk until it reaches a pourable consistency.
Step 3
Using a funnel, carefully pour the peach mixture into freeze pop bags or reusable freezer pop molds, leaving a little room at the top for expansion.
Step 4
Seal the bags tightly and freeze overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Step 5
Once frozen solid, they’re ready to enjoy!
Tips for the Best Freeze Pops
- Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest texture.
- Blend until completely smooth so there aren’t any fruit chunks.
- A funnel makes filling the freeze pop bags much easier.
- Freeze overnight for the firmest pops.
- Taste the mixture before freezing and adjust the sugar if your peaches are extra tart.
Recipe Variations
One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to customize.
Peach Mango
Replace half of the peaches with frozen mango for a tropical twist.
Peach Strawberry
Blend frozen strawberries with the peaches for a beautiful pink-orange color.
Peach Vanilla
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for an even richer peaches and cream flavor.
Honey Sweetened
Swap the sugar for honey or maple syrup if you prefer a naturally sweetened version.
Peach Banana
Add one ripe banana for extra creaminess and natural sweetness.
Protein Freeze Pops
Blend in one scoop of vanilla protein powder for a protein-packed frozen snack.
Peach Yogurt Pops
Replace half of the coconut milk with vanilla Greek yogurt for extra protein and a tangy flavor (note: this version is no longer dairy-free).
Storage Tips
These homemade freeze pops store wonderfully in the freezer.
- Store frozen for up to 3 months.
- Keep them flat while freezing so they’re easier to stack.
- Once frozen, they can be stored standing upright in a freezer container or basket to save space.
- Make sure each bag is sealed completely to prevent freezer burn.
FAQs
Can I use fresh peaches?
Absolutely! Fresh peaches work great when they’re in season. Simply peel and slice them before blending. If using fresh peaches, you may want to add about 1 cup of ice to achieve the same thick consistency.
Can I make these without sugar?
Yes! The sugar simply enhances the peach flavor. You can leave it out or substitute honey, agave, monk fruit sweetener, or maple syrup.
What kind of coconut milk should I use?
Canned full-fat coconut milk produces the creamiest results. Refrigerated coconut milk beverages are much thinner and won’t create the same rich texture.
Do these taste like coconut?
Not strongly. The peach flavor is the star, while the coconut milk simply adds creaminess. Most people barely notice the coconut flavor.
Can I use reusable freeze pop molds?
Definitely! Reusable silicone or plastic freezer pop molds work perfectly and are a great eco-friendly option.
Why won’t my mixture blend?
Frozen peaches can be very firm. Simply add a little more coconut milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the blender can process everything smoothly.
Can kids help make these?
Absolutely! Kids love helping pour the mixture into the freeze pop bags, making this a fun summer kitchen activity.
