This Low-Carb Coconut Popsicle Recipe makes creamy coconut flavored popsicles enrobed in a crisp chocolate coating. The coconut goodness comes from rich coconut milk, unsweetened flakes of coconut, and a bit of coconut oil in the chocolate coating. Yup! Coconut in three ingredients adds loads of coconut flavor!
The chocolate coating on these popsicles is optional. If you just want coconut, are out of low-carb chocolate, or don’t have time to add the coating, no worries. Just serve them without. I love them this way!
I make these coconut popsicles in my favorite popsicle mold. I’ve had this mold for years now, and it’s holding up well. I buy popsicle sticks in bulk so I have plenty for when popsicle-making inspiration hits me. I love that there aren’t a lot of little pieces to this mold. I’ve had other molds with reusable plastic “sticks” that stay in the popsicle while you eat it. These little things ended up everywhere except back with the mold and often lost forever. If you use a different mold, you may need to adjust the amount of the recipe you make to work for a different size mold.
I love keeping popsicles in the freezer for a quick snack or treat during the summer. I’ve even been known to eat them for breakfast. They are the perfect, make-ahead snack. To me, having low-carb things like this available for a quick pick-me-up, makes it so much easier to stay low-carb. Otherwise there is more temptation to eat something off-plan.

Ingredients
For the coconut popsicles:
- 1 13.5 ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (dried)
- 1/3 cup granulated stevia/erythritol blend
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened original almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the chocolate coating:
- 6 ounces stevia sweetened extra dark chocolate finely chopped (5.6 ounces is enough)
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
For the coconut popsicles:
In a 1 1/2-2 quart saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, coconut flakes, granulated stevia/erythritol blend, and eggs. Heat mixture over low heat, stirring frequently until it just comes to a simmer. Remove from heat.
Whisk in the almond milk and vanilla extract. Pour into molds.
Cover the molds and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze until completely frozen (about 5 hours) before continuing.
For the chocolate coating:
Place chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil in a small, heavy saucepan. Place over low heat, stirring constantly, until just melted. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Remove popsicles from the mold by running warm water over the plastic. Keep them in the freezer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Working with only one popsicle at a time (and keeping the rest in the freezer) spoon melted chocolate over the popsicles, spreading it with the back of the spoon.
Allow chocolate to solidify on the cold popsicle, then place back in the freezer on the baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining popsicles. When all popsicles are finished and the chocolate has hardened completely, place them in an airtight container, separating them with parchment paper.

These sound so good and I must admit the chocolate coating would not be optional for me. 🙂

These are so good. I make them all the time in ice cube trays so they are bite sized. They are delicious and taste like a frozen mounds bar. Thank you, thank you for the recipe.

You’re welcome! Making them in an ice cube tray is a great way to limit portion size.

Is the coconut milk the thick type?
Reply

Yes. It’s the thick stuff from a can.

Hi from Italy! I have a question: do you think that I could omit the eggs? Thank you!

Welcome to my blog! It’s amazing how my little blog reaches all over the world! I think you could omit the eggs. You may want to add about 1/4 cup of heavy cream or almond milk if you don’t use the eggs. The final popsicles might not be quite as creamy, but should still be very good.

This may seem like a silly question, but can you substitute whole milk or heavy cream for the almond milk?

Yes, that should work fine.

I’ve made this for years now. Aloha from Maui. It is so good. I make them in ice cube trays too. It’s the perfect bite when it’s hot outside. I also have started adding fresh lime juice and zest. I don’t do the chocolate. I love a good coconut, lime popsicle. Adding 2-3 TBSP of corn starch is key to keep it from freezing hard like an ice cube. It is the perfect popsicle consistency. Thank you for the recipe. It’s a knockout.
