Coconut Milk Iced Coffee Popsicles

Cool off (and perk up) on a hot summer day with these delicious Coconut Milk Iced Coffee Popsicles!

I attended the Fancy Food Show recently, and one of the trends I noticed was the use of coconut. It was everywhere, and I saw everything from coconut oil to coconut lattes to coconut ice cream. I’ve been using coconut oil for a while but had never tried these other foods.

Of course, everything I sampled was delicious, but in addition to tasting good, coconut milk also has a number of health benefits. Not only is it full of vitamins and minerals, but it’s also a great dairy-free alternative to regular milk.

I was inspired to incorporate coconut into my own recipes, and that’s how I came up with these Coconut Milk Iced Coffee Popsicles.

Coconut Milk Iced Coffee Popsicles

I’m not a big coffee drinker, but I do love iced coffee, especially in summer.

I take mine with milk and a little sugar, not too sweet. (By the way, did you know that if you order a “regular” coffee in NYC, that means you want it with milk and sugar?)

For these Coconut Milk Iced Coffee Popsicles, I replaced the milk traditionally found in iced coffee with coconut milk yogurt. It gives the popsicles a rich, creamy texture, but it’s low-calorie enough to keep these pops healthy. I also added a little honey to sweeten them up. They taste just like an iced coffee, except in popsicle form!

Not a coconut fan? Don’t worry. The coconut milk yogurt has a very mild flavor, but of course, you can always substitute regular yogurt (I recommend Greek).

Give these popsicles a try. They’re the perfect mid-day treat!

• Make these popsicles vegan by replacing the honey with maple syrup or another vegan-friendly sweetener.

Feeling fancy?

Try dropping a few chocolate-covered coffee beans into the bottom of each popsicle mold before adding the coffee mixture or stir in a little shredded coconut.

As for me, the next time I make these, I plan to drizzle the frozen popsicles with a little dark chocolate … yum!

How do you like your coffee?

P.S. I used these Ozera Groovy Pop Molds (affiliate link), and I love them! They come in a bunch of other shapes, sizes, and colors, too, if lime green isn’t your thing.
