Begin by discussing the ingredients, emphasizing the use of canned coconut milk.

2

Shake the can of coconut milk to mix the contents before pouring it into the blender.

3

Add sweetened shredded coconut to the blender with the coconut milk.

4

Blend these two ingredients for about 2 minutes until the coconut is well ground and the mixture thickens.

5

Once thickened, add condensed milk and heavy cream to the blender and blend again until smooth.

6

Pour the mixture into popsicle molds or small cups, inserting sticks into the molds for stability.

7

If using cups, wait until the mixture starts to set before inserting the sticks to keep them straight.

8

Alternatively, you can use an ice cream maker or freeze the mixture in a square aluminum container, then cut it into cubes and blend again to aerate before refreezing.

9

Fill the molds or cups carefully and top with additional shredded coconut if desired.

10

Freeze for approximately 4 hours until solid.

11

To remove the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds or cups to loosen them.
