Indonesian Es Pontong
These creamy strawberry coconut pops are loosely inspired by es pontong, a style of homemade Indonesian ice pops often frozen in plastic tubes and sold by street vendors or made at home. The flavors vary, but coconut milk and tropical fruit are common, and they’re especially popular with kids. I grew up with versions like these, so making them in popsicle molds feels both nostalgic and fresh.
How to Make Strawberry Coconut Milk Popsicles
First, you blend strawberries, coconut milk, lemon juice, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth. If you want a pretty look, press some thin slices of strawberry against the walls of your popsicle molds before filling them. Freeze until solid, and you’re done.
If the fruit floats to the top after pouring the mix into the molds, use a skewer or the popsicle stick to gently reposition it. Pressing strawberry slices against the sides before freezing makes them look extra nice once unmolded.
You can add shredded coconut or a splash of lime juice for a stronger tropical flavor.
