Ingredients:
- Coconut Milk. Full-fat, canned coconut milk works best.
- Sugar. Adds flavor and prevents the popsicles from becoming too hard and icy.
- Lime Zest + Lime Juice. Essential for that fresh, lime flavor!
- Salt. A small pinch enhances all the flavors.
How to Make Coconut Lime Popsicles:
To make homemade popsicles, the method is simple:
- Whisk coconut milk and sugar together.
- Add lime zest and lime juice.
- Pour into popsicle molds + freeze for 8 hours.
- Unmold and enjoy!

PRO Tips:
- Don’t skimp on the sugar. Although it seems like a lot of sugar, it’s essential for a soft texture. Otherwise, the popsicles will be too hard and icy with the texture of ice cubes.
- Use a zester. Scrape off as much lime zest as possible! Adds tons of lime flavor.
- Use a silicone popsicle mold. Easy to remove and easy to clean, silicone molds are also dish washer safe.
Variations:
Creamy coconut popsicles with lime are a great base for so many flavors! To keep the tropical vibe, consider adding:
- Mango puree.
- Pineapple puree.
- Papaya puree.
- Passionfruit pulp.

FAQ:
Can I reduce the sugar amount?
Although you can, I don’t recommend it. You need the full amount for a softer Coconut Ice Pop that’s pleasant and enjoyable to eat.
Can I make these without a popsicle mold?
Yes, homemade popsicles can be made without molds. Use a small Dixie paper cup and arrange them on a tray. Transfer to the freezer. After an hour, place popsicle sticks. The liquid should be frozen enough to hold the sticks in place.
