Instructions:
Step 1: Combine all the ingredients for the Popsicle base in a blender and puree until smooth.
Step 2: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for at least 4 hours or until solidified.
Step 3: Meanwhile, prepare the swirling sauce by mixing together all its ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 4: After the Popsicle base has frozen, carefully pour the prepared swirling sauce over the top of each mold, leaving about 1/4 inch space at the bottom. Do not stir.
