I’ve been on a lime kick lately — and a coconut kick too — so it was only a matter of time before I combined the two. I realized I hadn’t made any popsicles this summer, so I decided to use up some key lime juice in the fridge and a can of coconut milk from the pantry. The result: refreshing, easy Coconut Key Lime Popsicles that were a big hit.
These popsicles require just a few ingredients and minimal hands-on time. The lime brightness balances the creamy coconut beautifully, and the lime zest adds a pop of fresh flavor. They freeze firm and are perfect for hot days.
Coconut Key Lime Popsicles

Ingredients
-
⅓ cup
(68 g)
granulated sugar -
⅓ cup
(80 ml)
water -
13.5 oz
(400 ml)
can whole fat coconut milk -
6 Tbsp
key lime juice
(I used Nellie & Joe’s Famous Key West Lime Juice) - Zest of 1–2 limes
Instructions
-
Heat the sugar and water in the microwave for about 1 minute, or until the sugar dissolves. This makes roughly ½ cup of simple syrup.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, key lime juice, lime zest, and the simple syrup until smooth.
-
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for 6–8 hours, or until firm.
Notes
For a lighter texture, stir the mixture well before pouring into molds. If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the simple syrup slightly. Whole-fat coconut milk gives the creamiest result.
