Ingredients for Coconut Lemon Ice Cream For 2 people
Coconut 1 fruit Lemon 1 fruit Fresh milk 500 ml Whipping cream 150 ml (fresh cream)
blender, knife, peeler, ice cream molds, sticks.
How to choose a good coconut:
- Gently tap the coconut with your hand. If it makes a loud sound, the flesh will be thick and the water will be very sweet. If you hear a low sound, the coconut is still young, the flesh is thin, and the water is not sweet yet.
- You should choose coconuts that are still in bunches and have not been peeled.
- Choose coconuts that are small or medium-sized, weighing about 1 to 1.5 kg. If the coconut is too large, the water will be diluted because it is a hybrid coconut.

Make the ice cream mixture
Add 500ml of fresh milk to the coconut lime mixture, and mix well until combined.
Then pour everything into a blender, add 150ml of whipping cream, and blend the mixture until smooth.

Finish
Pour the blended mixture into the popsicle molds, wait for the bubbles to settle, then insert the sticks and place them in the freezer for 7 – 8 hours until the popsicles are frozen and ready to enjoy.

Ice cream bars that are cool, with the creamy flavor of milk ice cream and the sweetness from coconut blending with the slight sourness of lime help to cool off during hot summer days.

Cherry 2 cups Lime juice 1/4 cup Coconut milk 720 ml White sugar 2 teaspoons

How to choose fresh cherries:
- You should choose dark red cherries, as lighter colored cherries that are preserved with chemicals are not good for health.
- Pay attention to the stems, they should still be bright green.
- Use your hand to squeeze the cherry; if it feels firm and not mushy, it’s good.
- The surface should be smooth, without blemishes.
How to Make Cherry Lemon Popsicle
-
Prepare the cherries
Soak the cherries in diluted salt water for about 15 – 20 minutes, then rinse them thoroughly with water and let them drain.
Then remove the stems, cut them in half, and remove the pits.
Cut the lemon in half, remove the seeds, and squeeze out the juice.
-
Blend the cream mixture
Add the cherries, lemon juice, and sugar to the blender, and blend the mixture until smooth.
-
Finish
Pour the coconut milk into the popsicle mold first, then slowly pour the cherry cream mixture into it, use a popsicle stick to cover it, and then place it in the freezer for about 6 – 8 hours for the mixture to set.
Tip: Use a popsicle stick or spoon to gently stir the cherry and coconut milk mixture to create a visually appealing color transition between the two colors. Do not stir evenly.

Final Product
The popsicle with its eye-catching red and white colors, along with the light fragrant smell of cherry and the creamy taste of coconut milk, not only cools the body but is also good for health.
How to choose good, juicy lemons:
- Juicy lemons are usually small, have thin skin, and when you touch the skin, it feels smooth, not rough.
- When you gently press the lemon, a little essential oil should come out. The lemon essential oil has a pleasant smell, not a pungent odor like medicinal lemons.
