Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the coconut milk, coconut cream, honey, and the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean pod.
Add the fine sea salt and whisk the mixture thoroughly until the honey is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the mixture evenly into 8 popsicle molds.
Insert sticks and freeze the popsicles for at least 5 hours or until completely solid.
To unmold, briefly run warm water on the outside of the molds to loosen the popsicles before gently removing them.

Tips

Use full-fat coconut milk and coconut cream for a rich, creamy texture that mimics traditional cream-based popsicles.
Scraping the seeds from a vanilla bean pod adds a deeper, more natural vanilla flavor than extract or paste.
