Mexican Horchata Popsicles

Ingredients
4 cup Aroy-D Coconut Milk, full fat, canned (by ANTIOCHIA) 12 serving Dates, Medjool 1 date, pitted (24g) (by RURABE) 2 tbsp Cinnamon, ground 2 tsp Vanilla Extract 0.125 tsp Salt
Soak the 12 Medjool (pitted) dates in boiling water for about 10 minutes, then drain.
Blend together all ingredients until very smooth (I used my Vitamix but I assume a regular Oster style blender, Ninja, a stick blender (with a big enough bowl to prevent splatters - something 4-8 cups capacity), whatever you have!).
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for an hour or so (my freezer took longer than the suggested one hour). Then insert the thin wooden popsicle sticks that came with my package, or whatever "handle" you have for your particular popsicle molds), and freeze for at least four (4) hours or more, until solid.
I'm guessing main category could be desserts or snacks.
Keep in mind that organic dates contain much more than "just sugar" - includes phytonutrients, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other helpful nutrition that would otherwise be stripped out and thrown away in the production of white refined bleached sugar. So don't go comparing apples vs oranges. If dates aren't your thing, then try whatever other sweetener you prefer.
I do find that the dates DO add a wonderful caramel depth of flavor that I would never get from white sugar.
Serving Size: 10 popsicles 3 oz
