Matcha Creamsicles for Summer!
The other weekend my friend, Lori, posted a recipe for Matcha Pops!
I didn’t have all the ingredients but I had to make them, so I improvised and made some slight adjustments.
They were sooooo good and I had to text Lori…then I texted all my matcha-loving friends and family.
When you find something amazing, you MUST share it!
I have a set of desert plates with cats on them. 😜 Of course I do!
Here's a pic of one Matcha Pop on a plate, with a dollop of red strawberry jam on the side.
Lori actually mixed homemade strawberry curd into her pops.
I overfilled my molds and couldn’t swirl it in.
I have to say, the strawberry jam added a surprising dimension and brightness to the already delish creamsicles!
If You're Not a Matcha Fan
If you're not a matcha fan it could be because the times you’ve tried it, the matcha was too overpowering and bitter. The amount in this recipe it perfect and I think could sway you over to the matcha side.
If You Haven't Tried Matcha Before
If you haven’t tried it before or don’t know much about matcha, matcha is a powder made from green tea leaves.
Many people love it for the taste but even more love it for the health benefits as matcha is known to be a superfood-antioxidant.
There’s also research in other benefits such as improving cardiovascular health, anti-cancer properties, weight loss, and skin health.
So here it is, the adapted version!
Matcha Creamsicles
- 1 can coconut cream
- ⅔ cup coconut milk (either from a can or carton; I used unsweetened coconut milk from a carton because it’s what I had)
- ⅔ cup pure maple syrup (one that doesn’t have any added sugars)
- 2 tsp matcha powder
Blend all the ingredients and pour into your molds, freeze and enjoy!
💌 Love Note:
💗 I had extra mixture and not enough molds so I just added ice to it and blended it for a yummy Matcha Frapp! Sooo good!💗 I also used this same recipe to make fudgesicles! I just replaced the 2 tsp of matcha powder with 2 TBSP (rounded) of raw cacao powder and a pinch of Himalayan salt. If you need a reason to try this version, do it for the health benefits! Raw cacao powder has 40 times the amount of antioxidants as blueberries and is an anti-depressant!!
Chery was one of the friends I texted (this miracle story involving her cats is one of our most popular blog posts), immediately made the creamsicles too, and here’s her result…with her cat Duncan!
omigosh, so excited to try these. also, I must know where your kitty princess plates may be found!!
