Equipment

  • popsicle mold
  • popsicle sticks for 10
  • blender

Ingredients

  • 2 cups organic coconut water raw
  • 1 cup spring water filtered
  • 3 bags Surf Sweets gluten-free vegan fruity gummy bears or vegan natural gummy bears of choice

Instructions

  • First break out your favorite popsicle mold that suits 10, plus 10 popsicle sticks. Straws will not work.
  • In a blender blast together the coconut water and spring water till blended, then pour the liquid mixture into each popsicle mold about ¼ full. Freeze for 45 minutes with the lid/popsicle sticks removed.
  • Remove from freezer and add 4 gummy bears to each popsicle mold. Then add another ¼ cup coconut water mixture to cover the bears, and freeze again for 45 minutes. See blog photograph above for gummy bear placement.
  • Take out of freezer and add an additional 4 gummy bears to each mold followed by another ¼ cup liquid mixture. Freeze again for another 45 minutes.
  • Remove from freezer and add 2 gummy bears to each mold. Then fill the rest of the popsicle mold with the liquid mixture. Add an extra gummy bear or two if you have leftovers. Place the lid on top, and add the popsicle sticks. Lastly, freeze overnight.
  • To loosen the popsicles run the mold under warm or hot water on all sides to wiggle them out. Store in the freezer in a sealed container or bag. Enjoy!

TIP: Make sure you leave room for the popsicle stick in the middle. Keep this in mind when placing the gummy bears inside the popsicle mold.

    TIP: The gummy bears may sink to the bottom of the mold. This is okay and will not affect the flavor.

      Notes

      For this recipe, I used vegan healthy gummy bears by Surf Sweets because they use natural food coloring, contain no corn syrup, and are a healthier candy version of the original gummy bears. // I would usually say keep the popsicles up to 2 months. //
