Perfect for paleo lifestyles or anyone seeking a naturally sweetened frozen dessert, serve them poolside or as a post-dinner palate cleanser.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, coconut milk, raw honey, lemon zest, and vanilla extract (if using).
Whisk the ingredients together until the raw honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding a little more honey, if desired.
Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered.
Place the molds in the freezer and allow the popsicles to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results.
Once frozen solid, run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles, then carefully remove them from the molds.
Serve immediately or store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks.
