I love making my own ice cream, especially homemade popsicles, like my Avocado Popsicles, Banana Popsicles, and Peanut Butter Popsicles, because they are so easy to make. A Coconut Popsicle is a simple no-churn ice block ready super quickly for a delicious summer treat. You don’t need an ice cream maker, and it takes just 10 minutes to prepare ice pops at home, which the whole family loves. So after sharing my banana popsicles and peanut butter popsicles, time for a new flavor: Coconut Pops are ready for you!
Ingredients and Substitutions
Great news, you only need 5 ingredients to make these coconut popsicles.
Full-Fat Coconut Cream – It’s one from a can with no added sugar or added ingredients, just pure coconut. Coconut Milk – Prefer unsweetened coconut milk to keep the unnecessary sugar at bay. If you want to reduce the coconut taste, you can also swap it for almond milk, oat milk, or cashew milk. Maple Syrup – Or any other liquid sweetener like coconut nectar. Unsweetened Shredded Coconut or coconut flakes. Toasted Coconut to decorate.
Add-Ons
There are a few ingredients you can add to the batter to enhance the flavor of the ice pops. For example, you can add 1/4 teaspoon:
Vanilla extract Coconut extract Cinnamon
How To Make Coconut Popsicles
Let’s see what you need to make creamy coconut popsicles at home.
Ice Pop Mold – My mold has 9 cavities that you can release one by one. This is pretty convenient because you can store all the remaining popsicles in their mold, releasing only one at a time. Blender – The more powerful, the faster you’ll make them. Popsicle Sticks – Wooden sticks or metal sticks.
There’s nothing easier than making these popsicles.
Chocolate Shell
This is absolutely not necessary, but if you love chocolate and coconut you will love dipping the frozen coconut pops into melted chocolate. This chocolate shell with melt-in-your-mouth coconut ice cream is the most amazing thing.
Serving
These are no-churn popsicles and the perfect treat for the kids in summer. Since they are not churned, you need to remove the popsicles from the freezer 10 minutes before eating. This gives the ice cream time to soften and avoid a too-hard or icy texture.
Allergy Swaps
These popsicles are naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan. If you have some other food allergies, I listed below some options for you:
Sugar-Free – you can use a sugar-free natural sweetener – preferably a syrup like Monk fruit-based maple flavored syrup.
