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

Place a can of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator for about an hour before making the paletas.
Next, medium dice one cup of strawberries. Set these aside.
Chop another cup of strawberries. Add these to a food processor or blender, as well as the vanilla and honey.
Open the can of coconut milk. Notice the thick coconut cream has risen to the top of the can and the coconut milk is on the bottom. Add 1/2 cup of coconut cream and 1/2 cup of coconut milk to the blender.
Blend the strawberries, vanilla, honey and coconut cream together until smooth.
Fill each of the popsicle molds 3/4 of the way. Fill the rest of the molds with the medium-diced strawberries from before.u00a0(See notes)
Place them in the freezer until completely frozen, usually about 3-5 hours.

Notes

If you prefer bigger pieces of fruit in your popsicles, you can thinly slice the strawberries and add them to the sides of the molds before pouring in the mixture. Another option is to leave the strawberries out altogether if your prefer smooth paletas without any chunky fruit. Just note that if you choose to leave the pieces of strawberries out, the recipe will yield less popsicles. To easily remove the frozen popsicles from their molds, run the molds under warm water for 20-30 seconds. Then carefully pull on the sticks and the popsicles should easily come out of the molds.
