Popsicles are one of the best summer treats. They are so refreshing and one of the nice things about making them yourself is that you can make them healthier and lower in sugar than the typical store bought ones.

Ingredients and substitutions:
- Full fat coconut milk - to help give these popsicles the perfect melt in your mouth creamy texture and nice sweet flavour. Be sure to use full fat coconut milk and not low fat which is too watery.
- Plain yogurt - to help balance out the sweetness of this treat and give it a nice creamy texture. If you are dairy free or vegan use a dairy free plain yogurt.
- Key limes - these are used for both the lime juice and lime zest. If you can't find key limes regular limes will also work.
- Maple syrup - to naturally sweeten this summer treat while keeping these popsicles refined sugar free.
- Coconut oil - this helps the popsicles harden to give them the perfect texture when they freeze.
- Spinach - this gives these popsicles their gorgeous green colour and also add veggies to this dessert.
- Graham cracker crumbs - these are optional but if you want to give these popsicles a graham cracker crust you will use these for that. If you are gluten-free be sure to use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
- Coconut sugar - this is another optional ingredient that is used to sweeten the graham cracker crust if you make it. Instead of coconut sugar you could use brown sugar.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Recipe variations and add ins:
- Instead of full fat coconut milk you could use coconut cream, plain coconut yogurt or plain greek yogurt. The thicker the better!
- To make these popsicles dairy-free or vegan: use a dairy-free yogurt. I like plain coconut yogurt the best.
- To make higher in protein: use plain greek yogurt, add 3 tablespoon of hemp seeds and 4 tablespoon of collagen peptides to the recipe.
- To make these popsicles paleo: omit the graham cracker crust and use a dairy free yogurt.
- The graham cracker crust is optional. Simply omit it if you don't want it.
How to make key lime pie popsicles:
- Step 1: First, place the popsicle ingredients into a blender and blend them well until smooth.
- Step 2: Transfer the blended popsicle ingredients to a popsicle mold and fill each mold until it's 3/4 of the way full.
- Step 3: If adding the graham cracker crust, stir the crust ingredients together in a bowl and then transfer the graham cracker crust mixture to the top of each popsicle mold. Press the crumbs down slightly. If not adding the crust, go to the next step.
- Step 4: Top the popsicle mold with its lid and add the popsicle sticks. Then freeze the mold for at least 4 hours to harden the popsicles. Then serve and enjoy!
Top Tips:
- Be sure to use full fat coconut milk or coconut cream to make these popsicles. Do not use not low fat coconut milk as it is too watery. The thicker the coconut milk the better.
- Try to freeze these popsicles as soon as possible after you assemble them. If you let them sit too long the graham cracker crust may sink to the bottom of the popsicle.
- Be sure to freeze these popsicles for at least 4 hours.
- Run the outside of the popsicle mold under hot water for about a minute before removing the popsicles from the mold to make them easier to remove.
How to store:
Store these popsicles in the freezer in the popsicle mold for up to 3 months.
