In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut cream and unsweetened almond milk until smooth and well combined.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is fully blended and creamy.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your preference by adding a bit more maple syrup or lemon juice, if desired.
Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top of each mold to allow for expansion as the popsicles freeze.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered and securely placed.
Place the molds in the freezer and let the popsicles freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight for the best results.
Once fully frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds by briefly running warm water over the outside of the molds to loosen them.
Serve immediately and enjoy the cool, zesty lemon flavors!
