  3. Allow the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes.
  4. In a blender, combine the blueberry mixture with the coconut milk and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Check the consistency and add more coconut milk if necessary.
  6. Pour the mixture into silicone molds placed on a baking sheet.
  7. Insert sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  9. Serve the popsicles on a platter garnished with fresh mint leaves.

Notes

Consider adding a splash of lime juice for extra brightness. Adjust the amount of jalapeño for a milder taste. To serve, consider pairing with coconut sorbet or fruit salad.
