These low carb, dairy-free popsicles are creamy and full of vibrant raspberry and coconut flavour. A perfect way to cool off as the weather warms up!
Popsicles are the ultimate warm weather treat. I have such vivid childhood memories of riding my bike up to the convenience store on a hot summer evening to buy a popsicle or two. Eating them slowly enough to savour but fast enough not to have them drip all over the ground or my clothes was a practiced art. They were far less expensive than ice cream, putting them well within the budget of my small weekly allowance. And the double pops, the ones with two sticks, could be shared with a friend. I am quite certain I ate my weight in popsicles every summer.
Of course, it never occurred to me back then how easy they would be to make. Better yet, how easy they would be to make healthfully. And I have to say, all the amazing popsicle recipes I see online are far more interesting than the icy sugary orange, pink and green popsicles of my youth. Really, a few dollars for your popsicle mold and you are golden all summer long. You can let your imagination run wild! And you can come up with a popsicle recipe to fit any dietary needs or restrictions.
These Raspberry Coconut Cream Pops are healthy, low carb and dairy-free. Heck, they are even vegan (not necessarily by design). And they are so delicious, I had a hard time filling the popsicle molds because I kept spooning the raspberry coconut mixture straight into my mouth.

May 14, 2014 at 10:28 amSounds wonderful. Do we have a carb and calorie count?
Carolyn says

May 14, 2014 at 11:59 amHow do you count nutritional values? I use Recipe Analyzer on http://happyforks.com but maybe you know other tools?
Carolyn says
May 14, 2014 at 12:09 pmMastercook software, but I need to get a new one that works with a mac, now that I’ve switched. Working on that…for now, I keep going back to my old PC to calculate the nutrition.

June 8, 2014 at 12:09 pmOh! I forgot to mention, if you are lucky enough to have a Trader Joes nearby, they sell coconut cream by the can, just the yummy, full fat cream, no need to separate out the cream from the juice.
Carolyn says
June 8, 2014 at 2:27 pmThat is thickened with carrageenan and a lot of people have sensitivities to it so I don’t necessarily recommend it for everyone.
Lisa says
June 8, 2014 at 8:56 pmThank you for spending the time to research so many ingredients. I didn’t know that, but now that I’ve been educated, I’ll always remember.
Carolyn says
June 9, 2014 at 5:04 amYou’re welcome to use it if it doesn’t disagree with you. Carrageenan is in a lot of things and it doesn’t bother my system at all. But if I am going to make coconut whipped cream, I prefer to just do coconut whipped cream with coconut milk.

June 7, 2016 at 9:19 amHi Carolyn, thanks for this great treat! what do you do with the leftover coconut water?
Carolyn says
June 7, 2016 at 10:39 amWell, that’s where a lot of the carbs are so I actually toss mine or give it to the kids.

July 31, 2017 at 1:59 amHi Carolyn,
The recipe does not seem to be on the website any longer . . . it just links to their main recipe page and I can’t find your recipe by searching their site. Any chance you could send it my way? I’d love to try these!
Carolyn says
July 31, 2017 at 8:50 amTheir site just switched to https. I have asked them to fix this, I am not sure I have the recipe anymore. Sorry!
