Yield: 6 servings

Grilled Peaches & Cream (GF)

Ingredients

  • 6 fresh ripe organic peaches
  • 1 tbsp of fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted (or coconut oil)
  • 2 tbsp rapadura (or sucanat)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Homemade vanilla ice cream (see *notes below)

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high (400 degrees). Peel, halve, and pit peaches. (See note below for an easy peach peeling tip.)
  2. In a large bowl, combine lemon juice and melted butter. Add peach halves; toss well to coat.
  3. Next, place the peach halves on a large piece of parchment-lined foil.
  4. In the bowl containing the leftover lemon-butter mixture that the peaches were tossed in, whisk in the rapadura, vanilla extract and cinnamon.
  5. Drizzle mixture over peach halves, placing majority of liquid into the peach halve-cavities.
  6. Take another large sheet of foil and cover the peaches. Fold foil together to form a packet, crimping edges to seal. Grill, covered, for 10-12 minutes.
  7. Remove from grill and allow foil packet to rest undisturbed for about 5-10 minutes. Then, carefully open packet.
  8. Slice each peach halve into quarters and divide among six bowls.
  9. Top with scoops of homemade vanilla ice cream and drizzle with the grilled peach juices. So yummy!

Notes

A quick and easy way to peel peaches ... bring a stockpot of water to a rolling boil. Add whole peaches and cook for one minute. Remove peaches from boiling water, using tongs, and place in a cold water bath. Once cooled to touch, peel off skins.

Please note: Ripe fruit is much sweeter and more flavorful. So be sure to only use fully ripened fruit in your ice pops for the best flavor.

Also note: When fresh ripe fruit is not in season/available, you can use frozen fruit to make ice pops. However, it's best to allow the frozen fruit to thaw first, before blending it. That's because, you may need to add more liquid to get the frozen fruit to blend properly and this will change the flavor and texture of your ice pops.

Banana Split Pop (GF, DF Option)

Banana Split Pop (GF, DF Option)

Ingredients

    Layer One: Strawberry Topping
  • 5 fresh ripe organic strawberries
  • 2 tbsp 100% pure organic apple juice
  • 1 tsp raw honey (or pure maple syrup)
    • Layer Two: Banana Cream Center
  • 12 one-inch thick slices of fresh ripe banana
  • 1/3 cup, plus 1 tbsp organic plain whole milk yogurt (or coconut cream)
  • 2 tsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
    • Layer Three: Pineapple Delight Base
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 3 tbsp 100% pure pineapple juice
  • 1 tsp raw honey (or pure maple syrup)

Instructions

    Layer One: Strawberry Topping
  1. Remove stems from strawberries and cut in half. Place the strawberries, apple juice and honey into your blender or VitaMix and blend until thoroughly combined. Pour an even amount of the "strawberry topping" into six 3-ounce pop molds. Place in freezer until frozen. Then, once frozen, you're ready to make your next layer "banana cream center."
    2. Layer Two: Banana Cream Center
  2. Place all ingredients into your blender or VitaMix and blend until thoroughly combined. Then, remove your pop molds from the freezer (making sure that the first layer is completely frozen). Pour an even amount of the "banana cream center" into the pop molds, making sure to leave at least an 2 -1/2 inches of space from the top of the mold for the final layer to be added. Cover each individual pop mold with a small piece of foil. Use a knife to make a slit in the center of the foil and carefully place a popsicle stick into the mold in the center of the pop. Place in freezer until frozen. Then, once frozen, you're ready to make your final layer "pineapple delight base."
    3. Layer Three: Pineapple Delight Base
  3. Place all ingredients into your blender or VitaMix and blend until thoroughly combined. Then, remove your pop molds from the freezer (making sure that the first two layers are completely frozen). Remove the foil covers from the pop mold and pour an even amount of the "pineapple delight base" layer into the pop molds. No need to recover the pops. Place in freezer until frozen. When ready to serve, run the pop mold under warm water for a few seconds to loosen before removing the mold. Enjoy! You've worked hard for this healthy treat!
