1. In a blender or in a bowl with a whisk, mix together the coconut milk, lime juice and zest, and maple syrup. Pour the mixture into a popsicle mold, filling it about 3/4 full if you’re planning to make the coconut topping. Fill to the top if foregoing the topping. Place the molds in the freezer for 40 minutes.
2. Remove the pops from the freezer. If you’re not making the coconut topping, insert popsicle sticks into each popsicle mold and freeze for an additional 4-5 hours.
3. Optional Topping: Mix together the shredded coconut, melted coconut oil and maple syrup. After removing the popsicles after the initial 40 minutes of freezing time, top each popsicle with a tablespoon and a half of the shredded coconut mix. Insert a popsicle stick into each mold, and freeze the pops for an additional 4-5 hours.
4. To remove the popsicles from the mold, run hot water over the plastic part of the mold and gently lift the popsicles out. Enjoy immediately or place the popsicles in a freezer-safe bag for later.

Popsicles will last for up to 1 month in the freezer.
