Painkiller co*cktail Popsicles Recipe — Salt & Wind Travel (2024)

For The Pineapple-Orange Mixture:

• 8 ounces fresh pineapple peeled and cubed
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup white rum
• 2 tablespoons unrefined cane sugar

For The Coconut Mixture:

• 3 cups coconut milk
• 1/2 cup toasted unsweetened flaked coconut plus more for garnish
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 4 oranges peel removed in one long strip with a vegetable peeler(avoiding the white pith)
• 2 (3 inch) cinnamon stick
• 1/4 cup white rum

• Make The Pineapple-Orange Mixture: Process pineapple in a blender then push through a fine mesh sieve so you remove most of the pulp (this should yield about 1 cup of pineapple juice).

  Combine the pineapple mixture with the 1 cup of orange juice 1/4 cup of the rum, and 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the sugar (depending on how sweet you want the mixture).

• Freeze The First Layer: Fill each popsicle mold 1/3 full with the pineapple-orange mixture (that was 2 ounces or 4 tablespoons forthese popsicle molds) then put in the freezer until just frozen, at least 45 minutes. Meanwhile, make the coconut layer.

• Make The Coconut Layer: Whisk together coconut milk, remaining 1/3 cup of thesugar,1/2 cup of the toasted coconut,orange peel, and cinnamon sticks in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes.

  Remove from heat, and set aside to cool at room temperature and to let the flavors steep, at least 30 minutes. Once the mixture is cool, remove the cinnamon stick and orange zest, and add the remaining 1/4 cup of rum to the coconut milk mix.

• Fill The Popsicle Mold: Once the pineapple-orange layer is frozen fill the popsicle molds the rest of the way with the coconut mixture (toasted coconut, coconut milk, and all). Garnish the top of the popsicle mold (which is actually the bottom of the popsicle once it's unmolded) with some more toasted coconut.

  Wrap each popsicle mold top with aluminum foil then stick a popsicle stick through it (this will help the popsicle stick stay stable as it sets)and freeze until fully frozen, at least 3 1/2 hours.Let sit at room temperature a few minutes or run under warm water to unmold and serve.
