2 tbsp pure maple syrup or agave nectar (adjust to your preferred sweetness)

1. Blend — In a high-speed blender, combine the coconut milk, maple syrup, lime juice, vanilla extract, and
Suncore Foods® Pink Pitaya Powder.
2. Mix Until Vibrant — Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth, frothy, and a gorgeous, uniform bright pink.
3. Prep the Molds — If you are using fresh fruit add-ins, drop a few pieces of diced dragon fruit or strawberries into the bottom of each popsicle mold.
4. Pour — Carefully pour the pink pitaya mixture into your popsicle molds, leaving about a quarter-inch of space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
5. Freeze — Insert your popsicle sticks. Place the molds flat in the freezer and let them chill for at least 4 to 6 hours, or ideally overnight, until perfectly solid.
6. Unmold & Enjoy — To easily remove the popsicles, run the outside of the molds under warm water for 10–15 seconds. Gently pull the sticks to release, and enjoy your sweet, refreshing treat!
