How to make peanut butter popsicles
This is such a simple recipe with easily accessible ingredients. It takes only about 20 minutes of prep time!
Ingredients
- Cream cheese
- Creamy peanut butter
- Powdered sweetener
- Vanilla
- Heavy cream
- Sugar free dark chocolate
- Cocoa butter or coconut oil
Method
- Combine the first 5 ingredients
- Fill the popsicle molds
- Add the popsicle sticks
- Freeze until firm
- Dip in chocolate
- Enjoy!
Tips for this recipe
- You can combine the popsicle ingredients together in a bowl, or you can use a good blender to blend them up.
- The filling mixture is quite thick and hard to get into the molds. A few readers gave me a great tip: use a piping back to fill the molds with less mess. Also be sure to tap the molds firmly on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Always melt the chocolate in a double boiler, with some cocoa butter or coconut oil. This helps avoid seizing and thins out the chocolate coating so it’s easier to dip.
- These peanut butter popsicles are very rich and filling. I recommend using smaller molds (2 oz or so), like these molds here. If you only have larger molds, simply fill them two thirds full.
- To get the popsicles out of the molds, simply run very hot water up and down the outside, then gently tug on the popsicle stick.
Dairy Free Option
Making dairy free peanut butter popsicles is easy. Simply use dairy free cream cheese like Kite Hill or Violife. Then swap out the heavy cream for some coconut cream.
And make sure your sugar free chocolate doesn’t have any added dairy. Dark chocolate is the best option.

Keto Peanut Butter Popsicles
Ingredients
- 6 oz cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate chopped
- ½ ounce cocoa butter chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until well combined and smooth.
- Spoon or pipe into 12 popsicle molds and tap molds firmly on counter to release as many air bubbles as you can. Place popsicle sticks in the center of each (wooden sticks are preferable as they stay in the popsicles better).
- Freeze 4 hours until firm. Remove from the molds by running hot water over the outside, then gently twisting the sticks until they release. Keep in the freezer until ready to dip in chocolate.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper and place in the freezer. Set a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Add the chopped chocolate and cocoa butter and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
- Dip a popsicle into the chocolate coating about half way, then let excess drip off back into bowl.
- When the chocolate is firm, place on the cookie sheet in freezer and repeat with the remaining popsicles.

Steve says
Hello, Can you tell me if this is unsweetened creamy peanut butter please.
Thanks
Steve
Carolyn says
Yep.
Judy says
Could we substitute the peanut butter with almond butter?
Carolyn says
Yes, that should work.
Judy says
Thank you! They turned out perfectly but a bit too sweet. Can we reduce the amount of Swerve and/or butter? If so, how much can we reduce without negatively affecting the quality of the treat?
Samrah says
Hi Carolyn!
I was wondering if I could replace swerve with xylitol? Should I run it in the magic bullet for a few seconds to make it powdered? Thank you for your patience and such a wonderful recipe 🙂
Carolyn says
If it’s granular, definitely try to powder it as best you can.
Samrah says
It’s XylaSweet. I think it comes in only one consistency unlike Erythritol.
Carolyn says
There is powdered xylitol out there although I don’t know if that brand makes it.
Vickie Rakich says
I’m allergic to milk products and gluten – I’m sad!!! They look so delicious!!!
Carolyn says
Why? There’s zero gluten in this and you can easily replace the cream cheese with Kite Hill and the cream with coconut cream.
