Happy 4th of July! I hope everyone's plans for the holiday include lots of delicious eats! I've traded my cold and foggy San Francisco weather for hot and humid Cincinnati for the weekend, meaning a cold and refreshing treat was a perfect compliment to our BBQ.
These take a bit of planning ahead but I promise they are worth it! Red, white and blue popsicles made from fresh raspberry purée, a thin layer of coconut milk and topped of with a blackberry purée. Skip the artificial flavoring and food dye and make these for your cook out!
Cheers!
