This one is a lot more straightforward. Just toss everything in a mixer or a bowl and with your favorite cooking utensil, give it a good mix.
Once everything is incorporated, taste it. It shouldn't be crazy sweet, you're looking for coconut flavor, not a candy. But if you feel like it could use a little sweetness you can add a bit of sugar.
Once it's mixed nice, divide it up into the cups. Then take a small pinch of cinnamon and sprinkle it on top of each cup. Don't mix it, just let it sit.
Put the cups in the freezer overnight.

For the coconut milk, my mom uses the same homemade coconut milk from making the coquito. So if you want to kill two birds with one stone, make a little more coconut milk than what you need for the coquito when you're making that.
A can of water is exactly that. Just take one of the empty cans of milk you just poured out and fill it up with water. It's how the ancestors did it.
For the cups, you'll need a medium sized plastic cup. Not a solo cup size, and not a little disposable mouthwash cup size. But you're looking for something that will be disposable and easy for a kid to hold.
A tip for eating this: When it's ready to eat, try and manipulate it out of the plastic cup by squeezing it or letting the cup sit in some hot water for a few seconds. Once you can pop out the entire cup of frozen coconutiness, flip it upside down in the same cup. Or a new cup if you're particular about touching your food. This way, it'll be just like eating a fresh popsicle.
You can also do the old school method of popsicles and cover the cup with plastic wrap and then poke a popsicle stick in there.
I suppose you could also be all rich and fancy and use an actual popsicle mold thing. WHATEVER, don't shame my childhood, man!
