Introduction
This recipe came in a recipe book provided with the silicone popsicle molds I bought from Amazon. There was no UPC code with book, no ISBN number, no author or publisher information. I wanted to know nutrient info. My mold makes 10 popsicles about 3-4 oz (depends on how full you fill them). There was no author listed with the recipe booklet. Apparently the author had tried making this with the rice milk that is traditionally used in Horchata, but it made an icy texture. So the author decided to swap out the rice milk for coconut milk. I tried it with the coconut milk because I already had it and don't usually like rice milk. But I would think the rice milk would work as long as you realize it's going to be an icy texture and not a creamy texture, like this is. (I might even try doing it half and half the next time I make this.). This recipe came in a recipe book provided with the silicone popsicle molds I bought from Amazon.

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
Directions
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
