Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Peel the tangerines and separate into segments.
- Remove the skin off of the zucchini and cut into 1/2 inch slices.
- Place both the tangerines and zucchini slices on a baking sheet and freeze in a single layer for 4 hours until frozen solid.
- Place the frozen segments and zucchini slices in the food processor, and process until crumbly. Scrape down the sides.
- Add coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. If you want, you can also zest an orange for a stronger citrus flavor and add it to the mixture.
- Process until smooth and creamy, adding more milk if the mixture doesn't break down easily. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
- Taste and add more sweetener if you prefer.
- Transfer to a popsicle mold, then freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Remove and enjoy!
Notes
- I used this popsicle mold, which is perfect for thicker mixtures and they make smaller popsicles for kids.
- You can turn this into a sorbet instead of popsicles. After step 4, keep processing until a creamy sorbet mixture is formed. Scoop and enjoy immediately.
