Preparation

Step 1

1. In a medium pot over medium heat, bring the coconut water and sugar to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

2. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and cool slightly. Stir in the coconut milk, vanilla and shredded coconut.

3. Pour the mixture into ice-pop molds. Press sticks into the center of the pops and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours. (If using jam, freeze the pops for 1 hour before adding 2 tablespoons jam to the top of each mold.)
