☑️ Storage Instructions

Once the popsicles are frozen, you may want to wrap them individually in plastic wrap to prevent them from sticking. They’ll freeze well for up to a couple of months.

💡 Tips for Making These Keto Popsicles

  • Use full-fat coconut milk: Full-fat coconut milk will give your popsicles a creamier texture and richer flavor. Light coconut milk can result in icier popsicles.
  • Blend well: Make sure to blend the ingredients really well so you’ll end up with a smooth and even mixture.  
  • Taste before freezing: Always taste the mixture before pouring it into the molds. This gives you the chance to adjust the sweetness or lime juice to suit your personal preference.
  • Don’t rush the freeze time: Allow the popsicles to freeze for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best. This helps them fully set up and will help you easily remove them from the molds.
  • Tap them: To avoid air bubbles in your popsicles, tap the molds gently on the counter after pouring the mixture. This helps release any trapped air and results in a smoother texture.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

  • Fresh berries: Add whole or chopped strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries to the popsicle mixture.
  • Chia seeds: Stir in about 1/2 tablespoon of chia seeds for added texture and even some added nutritional benefits.
  • Mint leaves: Add finely chopped fresh mint leaves to the mixture for a refreshing and cooling twist.
  • Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract will add depth of flavor. I prefer to use the clear extract so it doesn’t darken the white coconut mixture.
  • Coconut milk: For a creamier texture, you can substitute part of the coconut milk with coconut cream. This will make the popsicles richer.
  • Citrus juice and zest: If you’re not a fan of lime, you can substitute lime juice and zest with lemon or orange juice and zest for a different citrus flavor.

How Can I Make My Popsicles Sweeter?

If you find the popsicles not sweet enough for your preference, you can increase the amount of allulose or monk fruit slightly. Remember to taste the mixture before freezing.

How Do I Prevent the Popsicles from Sticking to the Molds?

To prevent sticking, run the outside of the molds under warm water for a few seconds before trying to remove the popsicles. This should loosen them enough for them to slide out easily.

Can I Use a Blender Instead of a Food Processor?

Yes, you can use a blender to combine the ingredients. Just make sure to blend until the shredded coconut is broken down and the mixture is smooth.

What Should I Do if My Popsicles Are Too Tart?

If the popsicles are too tart, you can reduce the amount of lime juice slightly or increase the sweetener. Taste the mixture before freezing to ensure the balance of flavors is how you like it.

Recipe Notes

I used allulose in this recipe because it helps prevent the popsicles from freezing rock hard.  If you can’t find allulose, you can use 1/4 of monk fruit, since it’s a little sweeter than allulose.  I would only use (also 1/4 cup) Swerve or other erythritol based sweetener if you have no other options.
