Coconut-Lime Yogurt Popsicles
Frankly I’m excited. Excited that these popsicles turned out WAY better than I expected and that I found yet another way I can consume one of my favorite flavor combos; Zee lime and zee coconut.
Remember a few years back when I made that little lime and coconut cake? While it’s extremely time consuming that cake still is one of my most favorite cakes in the world… but then again ask me if there’s a cake that I don’t like, I’m not sure I could answer that. Because cakes rule. And so do popsicles.
The best thing that happened to me in March besides the temp reaching the mid eighties was discovering this coconut yogurt. That yogurt sparked all kinds of creativity and these popsicles were the end result.
Zest a few limes. My limes were teeny, so I used 3.
Then I squeezed on some limes to get about a quarter of a cup of juice.
Tossed in the yogurt…
…added in the powdered sugar.
And stirred it all up.
In my giant-o food processor I added the unsweetened coconut milk with the lime-y yogurt concoction, put the lid on and let it spin. It should go for a while so that the zest can break up and not be too noticeable in the end.
I then transferred that coconut mixture into a two-cup liquid measuring cup so I could pour with ease and not spill.
Fill each mold, I’m pretty sure popsicle molds come in a standard size. But it comes out to be about a quarter cup per popsicle.
Insert some wooden sticks.
And pop them into the freezer for about 3 hours. Un-molding them can be difficult, but if you set the popsicle tray into some hot water for a few seconds they should slide right on out.
These quickly are becoming my new favorite treat. And I have no bones about it. I may have done a little happy dance mid-devouring… hey no one saw me except maybe our dog, and he doesn’t really say much so I’m sure it’s safe to say my secret is safe between you and me. Cool?
Oh yeah these pops are totally kid tested and approved! SCORE! Ps… blue nail polish is only cute on my 10-year-old’s fingers… not so much on mine. Amen.

Over the past few years I’ve been on a mission to find and create recipes that I can make from scratch. I hope you enjoy the recipes on this blog as they are tried and true from my kitchen to yours! (

This looks SOOO good! So pretty and clean looking
Love coconut and lime together! What a great treat!
I just made champagne punch with coconut water.
These are next. LOVE Them!!!! And the simplicity of it…toss in blender, blend, freeze. No complicated steps. Thank you!
Minus the coconut, my mom used to make these popsicles all the time when i was a kid. The sick part is that I hated them! i wanted those store pop freezies and neon coloured popsicles that all the other kids ate.
is this where i can now confess my undying love? seriously, these look like HEAVEN!
I love you. I have everything to make these TONIGHT! Yes! Thank you, thank you!
These look SO GOOD!!! I love the coconut!
These sound so easy and super refreshing for summer! Looks like I'm buying popsicle molds this weekend!
Ooooh delicious, and with Greek yogurt, too! Perfect, refreshing snack
These look beautiful! Love the pics of the girls munchin happily. (I bet you could pull off blue nail polish. Just saying.)
Thanks for the tip about setting them in hot water for a few seconds! Sometimes the simplest solutions are the most elusive to me!
these sound fantastic!! sounds like you need a zoku popsicle maker. i'm going to try this recipe in mine soon!
Whoa, I didn't even know they made coconut yogurt. Where did you get your popsicle molds?
Perfect timing – the weather's finally warming up over here! I did a little happy dance when I saw the greek yogurt in your picture because on top of the health benefit, you get a creamy tang which I'm sure sets off the lime and coconut combo. Your recipe looks yummy and the little 'uns are just adorable.
great combination, need something cold and refreshing since it's getting hot in here!
I just made these today, and they are delicious! I made a few modifications, as I didn’t have coconut yogurt or fresh limes, and I am doing the low carb thing. So I used plain Greek yogurt, some shredded coconut, a few squirts of key lime juice, and liquid stevia. So delicious! Thanks for the ideas.
