Look, we get it. Colorado summers hit differently. One minute you’re standing in a dispensary parking lot in a hoodie. Two weeks later you’re wilting in 97-degree heat wondering if you made a terrible life choice. We’ve all been there.
The good news? You have options. And those options involve popsicles.
We’re not talking about those sad, flavorless ice tubes from the gas station. We’re talking about creamy, tropical, THC-kissed popsicles. They taste like a Hawaiian vacation. They hit like a hug from the couch. You made this. You’re an artist.
Here’s how.
Trees Dispensary Pineapple Coconut Infused Popsicles
- Makes: 8 popsicles (depending on your mold size)
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Freeze Time: 4 to 6 hours (or overnight, we know you’ll forget)
- Vibe: Tropical, smooth, just the right amount of “where did the afternoon go?”
Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1.5 cups fresh or canned pineapple chunks (drain if canned)
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Pinch of salt
- 80mg THC-infused tincture
Instructions
Step 1: Grab your infused tincture
Head to Trees and pick up a THC-infused tincture. These are usually available in measured doses. This makes the math easy so you don’t have to break out a calculator at 11pm. Check with your budtender for current options. We always have you covered.
Step 2: Blend everything together
Add the coconut milk, pineapple chunks, honey, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to a blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 30 to 45 seconds. You want it silky, not chunky. This isn’t a salsa competition.
Step 3: Add the infused tincture
Here’s where it gets interesting. Add the tincture to the blender. Give everything one final 15-second blend to incorporate evenly. This step matters. You want consistent dosing throughout every popsicle, not one rocket ship and seven duds.
Step 4: Pour into molds
Pour the mixture into your popsicle molds. Leave a small gap at the top for expansion. Insert the sticks. Give the molds a gentle tap on the counter to knock out air bubbles.
Step 5: Freeze
Pop them in the freezer for at least 4 to 6 hours. Overnight is ideal. Try not to open the freezer every 20 minutes to check. We know you will. We’re not judging.
Step 6: Unmold and enjoy
Run the outside of the mold under warm water for 10 to 15 seconds to loosen. Gently pull out your creation. Take a moment to admire what you’ve built. Then eat it responsibly.
Dosing Notes (Seriously, Read This Part)
Edibles are not a race. Infused foods metabolize differently than flowers. This means the effects take longer to arrive. They also stick around longer than you might expect. Here’s what you need to know before you eat three of these because “I don’t feel anything yet.”
- Timing: Expect 45 minutes to 2 hours before you feel the full effect. Be patient.
- Duration: Effects from edibles typically last 4 to 8 hours. Plan accordingly.
- Start low: If you’re new to edibles or haven’t tried infused foods before, aim for 5 to 10mg per popsicle. Wait it out before reaching for a second.
- Do the math first: Divide the total mg of THC in your infused tincture by the number of popsicles you made. That’s your dose per pop. Write it on the bag!
- Safety first: Keep out of reach of children and pets. These look like regular popsicles. Label them clearly and store them somewhere safe.
When in doubt, ask your Trees budtender. That’s literally what they’re there for, and they’re really good at it.
