So let’s talk about these little guys. Because they were quite popular when I posted them on instagram yesterday. No, but seriously. They received the most likes and comments that I’ve ever had on any picture I posted. Other places must be just as hot as Colorado, so they look more appetizing than usual. That’s the only thing I can think of. Well, they deserved the love. They are quite delicious. And refreshing when it’s 95 degrees out. I’ve still been cooking in our house as the weather gets hotter and hotter, but it got to 90 degrees in our house the other day. You know how uncomfortable that is? Real uncomfortable. You see, we don’t have air conditioning. And, well, it blows. Oh well. I’ll just eat these instead or putting in my air conditioning window unit. Makes more sense to me.
Blow drying your hair in 90 degree weather rates up there among the most uncomfortable things of all time. Next to plucking eyebrows for the first time, brazilian waxes, and going to the gynecologist. #factofthedaythursday
I think you may begin to see lots of no bake desserts and lots of grilling items start popping up on the blog. Because I can’t stand to be inside, especially if they oven or stove is on.
There are few things that annoy me more than a person wearing sunglasses inside. There’s a difference between a hungover person on a Sunday morning with a group of friends out to brunch, who refuses to take his sunglasses off based upon the fact the he will frighten the paying customers around him. Including children. That’s totally understandable. But a person who just wears sunglasses every where they go, is weird. Like the guy who sat in front of me on our flight to D.C. He kept his sunglasses on throughout the entire flight, even to watch a movie. But then took them off once we landed. I just didn’t understand this fellow. Mostly because he kept scaring the sh*t out of me when he would burst out in laughter, thundering laughter, at the show he was watching on his ipad. Or start beating his back into his seat, thus almost knocking over my delicious sparkling water, just because his show was so funny. It made me uncomfortable. Also frightened, but mostly uncomfortable. People on planes are always the strangest people. Not really, but sometimes.
I still don’t understand why any airline loads the plane from front to back? CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME SO I STOP HATING THE AIRLINES!?
I’m sad that I’m not really into the Bachelorette like I was with the Bachelor. The Bachelorette kind of bugs the hell out of me.
Do you ever ponder things? Like what happened to Freddy Prince Jr.? Or how he isn’t still famous with a name like that? I ponder things. Mostly things like that.
Mini Layered Ice Cream Pops
- Yield: 9 1x
Ingredients
For the ice cream*
- 1 (14 ounce) can of full fat coconut milk
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons raw honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
For the other layers
- 1/3 cup roasted, unsalted cashews (salted may actually taste great in this with all the sweetness)
- 1/4 cup Kolat Dark Chocolate Coconut fruit & nut butter**
- 1/3 cup Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- First, you’ll need to create the ice cream. Whisk together the ice cream ingredients until completely mixed. Then pour ingredients in an ice cream maker. (If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can mix the ingredients, pour into a bread pan, place in freezer, then scoop out when solid. A little time in the microwave may be needed to help soften it.)
- Once ice cream is solid, it’s time to build the ice cream pops. I used mini cups (you know, the ones you either rinse off your mouth with in the bathroom, or use for jello shots) but you could use larger size cups as well.
- In the bottom, add about a tablespoon of cashews, then a larger tablespoon of ice cream to cover them completely, then the nut buttter, the ice cream, then chocolate chips. Then place a craft stick in the middle of the popsicle, pressing it down to the bottom of the cup.
- Repeat until the ice cream is gone.
- Place in freezing and let freeze for up to 5+ hours to make sure all the ingredients are hard and well combined.
- Eat up. They may need to soften just a little bit so they are not too hard to bite into! So be careful!
Notes
*You could use store bought ice cream as well. **If you cannot get Kolat nut butter, mix a bit of cocoa powder and honey in your own almond butter! This made 9 pops

You want to know how good you are at what you do…. I just paid $10 to have that Kolat stuff shipped to me in VA – $10!!
But your picture of these made my mouth water and brought me back to my childhood days going to the DQ so I just had to have them!
So far you’ve convinced me to buy many cookbooks and many products just from reading your amazing blog.
I thank you, my stomach thanks you… (my wallet does not!)
🙂
I can’t wait for my 21 DSD to be over.. then I will indulge in these!!
These look delicious. Also, just wanted to add a word regarding glasses inside. My daughter has to wear sunglasses inside on occasion because different types of light cause her to have seizures.
Maybe dumb question….but it’s not a raw egg yolk in this is it?? Or cook a yolk and whisk it in? They look fantastic. Can’t wait to make them. Love and look forward to Ll your posts. Seriously the best thing that ever pops into my inbox!
Yes it’s absolutely fine if you use cage free eggs that are plugged with any weird stuff
for those of us without an ice cream maker… could you start the layering process without ‘freezing’ the ice cream first?
I don’t think so, the layers would melt together. Still would be delicious
I made these this afternoon with a few variations (based on what was in my pantry). My boys were so surprised when I pulled them out of the freezer for dessert! They devoured them! Even the hubs loved them. Thanks for the inspiration!
Another excellent recipe, Juli. I made these last night and left them to harden. I just finished enjoying one for dessert after dinner. Sooo good!
Hi Juli,
I am with you about the whole front loading a plane. So annoying. I used to work for Lufthansa (German Airline) and we always boarded from the back to the front. So much easier and time efficient – German you might say ;o) That way even those who have to haul their ridiculously over packed carry-on in the overhead compartment, can take their time doing so without making everyone else wait.
The worst are the airlines who board by groups so all window seats board first and then all aisle seats. Now, who came up with that clusterf*ck of an idea.
Anyway, lesson to be learned is fly Lufthansa non-stop from Denver to Germany and enjoy every second.
Love what you do.
These look awesome! I can’t wait to try this, my kids took one look and said, “You gotta make that!”
Just one question though for future reference, is there any substitute to the coconut milk? I am new to this and there is so much coconut used in different recipes and we have weekly dinners with my father who is seriously allergic to all things coconut. (P.S. I love coconut so normally this is not a problem)
you could try almond milk instead, but i have never tried that so i can’t say for sure
Hello.
Unfamiliar to ice cream, but quick (simple) question — if using raw cow dairy, could raw milk or raw cream work with this? I’ve seen “light” and “heavy” creams and seen some mention of “light” cream being best for ice cream.
Any light to shed on this? (What kind, and how much, of raw cow dairy to substitute for the coconut milk?)
Looking forward to making this. Many thanks!
you could definitely use raw milk for this. i haven’t tried so i can’t speak from experience but i’m not sure why that wouldn’t work! and i would use the same amount as coconut milk
