    03. Divide and Pour

    Divide the strawberry mixture between 10 popsicle molds, filling each slot about a third of the way.

    Slowly pour the green apple mixture on top of the strawberry layer, followed by the blue raspberry mixture.

    04. Freeze and Insert Popsicle Stick

    Wipe any drips or excess moisture from the top of the popsicle mold, replace the cover (or cover with foil), and put it in the freezer.

    After about two hours, carefully insert a popsicle stick into each slot. Freeze until completely solid, at least five hours.

    05. Transfer Popsicles to a Baking Sheet and Store

    Run the mold under warm water for a minute to loosen the popsicles so you can easily (and gently) pull them out.

    Transfer the popsicles to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for another 30 minutes. This will prevent them from melting too quickly.

    Store leftover popsicles in an airtight container with a layer of wax or parchment paper between each.

    02. Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. 

    In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the eggs and beat until well combined. Then beat in the melted Sour Punch Bites Tropical Blends. 

    Using a fine mesh strainer, drain the pineapple and press down with a spatula to release as much liquid as possible. In a large bowl, combine the pineapple with the coconut milk and coconut extract. 

    Pour a bit of the dry mixture into the bowl with the melted Sour Punch, then a bit of the pineapple mixture. Beat on low until well combined, adding more dry ingredients and wet ingredients until everything is blended together.  

    03. Spoon Cupcake Batter into Muffin Tin

    Spoon the cupcake batter into the muffin tin slots, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Allow the cupcakes to sit for 10 minutes, then transfer them to your countertop or a wire rack to cool.

    04. Make Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting

    To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese, butter, and coconut extract until light and fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners sugar and continue beating until the frosting is smooth and spreadable. If the frosting is too thick, add a bit of heavy cream or milk to thin. If the frosting is too liquidy, add more confectioners sugar.

    Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag and pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
