[…] Coconut Lime Popsicles […]
You put the lime in the coconut and…. make these crazy tasty and creamy coconut lime popsicles!
Boy it is so hot out there! We just got back from our amazing honeymoon on Saturday, and it is like hot HOT hot here. Much hotter than it was over in Europe so it was kind of a shocking wave of heat and humidity that hit us when we rolled our suitcases out of the airport two nights ago. And when the weather is hot, the treats should be cold! These coconut lime popsicles are just perfect!
I love these popsicles because they are crreeeaaammy. They get their creaminess (and beautiful coconut flavor!) from the addition of coconut milk in the popsicle liquid. I love love love how refreshing this makes the popsicles! If you don’t like crunchies in your popsicle, then I would finely chop the actual coconut in a food processor until it is a very fine powdery consistency before adding to the popsicle mixture.
To make the popsicles this adorable old-school style, I used this popsicle mold. I love the dramatic ridges down the edge of the popsicles!
These are the perfect coconut lime treat to give your family to cope with these hot summer days! Now it’s your turn: what is your favorite popsicle flavor combo for the summer? Please share with me by commenting below!

Hi! Thank you for the share this information. This is very useful information for online blog review readers. Keep it up such a nice posting like this.
I can’t have any citrus, what would you recommend substituting or can I just a more coconut milk to replace the liquid from the lime?
Crystal – thanks for your comment! So you could just substitute more coconut milk, but they will just be mainly coconut popsicles then (if you’re okay with that – go for it!). I’m not how far your inability to have citrus goes, but you may be able to substitute for another kind of juice, for example, maybe pineapple juice would give you a little bit of that sour note in place of the lime juice if you are able to have that? Let me know how it turns out!

Hi! Thanks for this very yummy recipe. We are going to try them today. We love our recipes but we love a little change as well!
Our favourite is a simple mint and orange pop :
I crush a whole bouquet of fresh green mint with a table spoon of honey in a blender and keep the mixture in the freezer for later use. When I need to make the popcicles, I just grate the frozen mixture into freshly sqweezed orange juice and give it a good stir before pouring into the molds.
Here is a more sophisticated recipe : Spicy Watermelon
Cut 1/6 of a watermelon flesh, seeded into cubes. Add a table spoon of honey, the juice and zest of a lime, along with 2 to 3 dashes of Tabasco sauce. Blend, pour, freeze and enjoy!
While the mixture freezes, layers separate slightly so the taste varies a little as you eat it : you won’t get bored of the flavour while eating.
Sometimes simple things make great treats : frozen milk with orgeat (almond) sirup is very refreshing and tasty.
Made as directed these are really sour. Please taste prior to freezing and adjust from there
To make it dairy free, can I just add more coconut milk? Or what else would work?
Hello Sara, thanks for your comment! Yes you could simply increase the amount of coconut milk, it should freeze properly still. Alternatively depending on what is in your refrigerator, you could try almond milk as well! A vanilla almond milk would give a sweeter flavor, while a regular plain almond milk would better highlight the tartness of the lime. Let me know how it turns out!
