Swirly Pops

½ cup shredded coconut
1 cup oat flour
½ cup nut milk
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 tbsp coconut nectar
1 inch slice creamed coconut
seeds of 1 vanilla bean
juice of ¼ lime

Place all ingredients into a food processor and process until the mixture form a sticky ball. Place a large sheet of non-stick baking paper on a flat surface. Remove mixture from food processor and place on a sheet of baking paper. Form into a dough, by using the knife cut into 6 equal portions then form into a long snake. Coil the snake in itself (dust with matcha powder if sticky). Start from one end and roll into a coil. Insert lollipop stick where outer strip ends and set aside on wax paper to set. Enjoy!
