I can't believe how quickly these peach popsicles disappear from our freezer. They are so creamy and flavorful, without relying on refined sugar, yet my kids love them just as much as the store-bought version. I love knowing that they are eating a better-for-you treat made with a pound of fruit, and I don't mind when they disappear since they are so fast to make!
In a high-speed blender, combine the peaches, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Secure the lid and blend until smooth. The mixture should have no visible lumps and taste a little sweeter than you want. (Because frozen food will dull the flavor later.)
I like to use frozen peaches that have thawed on the counter for at least an hour, or in the fridge overnight. That way, you don't have to peel, slice, or remove the pits to get started. But fresh peaches will work, too. You don't have to peel them if you have a powerful blender that can pulverize the skin. Canned peaches may work, too, but I haven't tested that yet.
Pour the blended peach mixture into your popsicle mold. This amount makes exactly 10 popsicles in my ice pop mold, but the size may vary if you use a different one. Place the popsicle sticks in the center and transfer the mold to a flat shelf in your freezer. Let them freeze overnight.
The next day, remove the popsicle mold from the freezer and run the mold under hot running water for about 30 seconds. This should loosen the popsicles so they are easy to remove from the mold. I like to remove them all at once, so I don't have to deal with the mold again. You can place these on a parchment-lined pan in the freezer to make sure they're frozen solid, then transfer them to an airtight container or bag to keep them frozen for up to 3 months.
