Get your appetites ready for week 3 of Camp HOMER! This week, we’re exploring
new ways to learn through cooking and baking in Tisa’s Test Kitchen.

If you’re looking for a fun way to spend time in the kitchen with your little ones this summer, cool off with these Color Changing Coconut Popsicles! Practice measuring and color-mixing while making some delicious summer treats (and memories).

What You’ll Need: 

  • Popsicle Molds & Popsicle Sticks (available on Amazon)
  • 1-1.5 cups canned coconut milk (amount depends on size of your popsicle molds)
  • ¼ cup brewed butterfly pea flower tea OR mix butterfly pea flower powder with ¼ cup water (available on Amazon
  • 1 tbsp honey (add more or less to taste)
  • Juice from one lemon

Directions: 

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the coconut milk, butterfly pea flower, and 1 tablespoon of honey. 
  2. Mix the ingredients until you’ve created a beautiful light blue concoction.
  3. Squeeze your lemon into the mixture, lightly stir, and watch the colors change! (Butterfly pea flowers contain anthocyanins which gives it a blueish purple color. However, when mixed with an acid (like lemon juice), it turns pink!) 
  4. Pour mixture into the popsicle molds. 
  5. Freeze for 4 hours or overnight!
  6. Enjoy!
