Like these strawberry mint popsicles, these cool and creamy blueberry coconut milk popsicles make a healthy and tasty summertime treat. And on top of that, they are so simple to make that they only take a blender and five minutes!
Simple Coconut Milk Popsicles
Coconut milk is naturally slightly sweet and creamy and contains a variety of nutrients and healthy fats. Combined with the blueberries in this recipe, these popsicles pack in a good amount of vitamin C. These simple homemade popsicles provide a healthy, quick, and tasty substitute for the sugar-laden store-bought options and are a kid approved summertime treat.
And beyond tasting good, these popsicles also look delicious. The blueberry skins (high in antioxidants) give a natural bright purple color to this treat.
These blueberry coconut milk popsicles use fresh or frozen blueberries, but if you’re not a fan or just have a surplus of strawberries or mangoes, try mixing things up and make a different flavor!
Popsicle Mold Hacks
I found these awesome stainless steel popsicle molds that we use for elderberry popsicles during flu season and probiotic coconut mango popsicles when we have ripe mangoes to use.
If you don’t have or aren’t sure yet if you want to buy molds, there are several other options that most people have already in their kitchens. Try using small stainless steel drink cups, ice cube trays for little popsicles, or muffin tins. Just fill whichever container you choose to the desired level, freeze them just until the very top has frozen, and stick in the sticks. To unmold any popsicle, simply warm them on the outside of the mold for a moment, either with your hands or running warm water.
Another option I have seen is to make one large loaf pan shaped popsicle and slice it into individual popsicles, like in this post.

I was wondering what is meant by coconut cream? Is that the thick stuff at the top of the can of coconut milk? Thanks!!
Yes, it is the thick layer of cream on top of the coconut milk can 🙂
thanks for the recipe. our blueberries will be coming in soon and I will definitely try this! Wondering about the coconut cream, could you use full fat coconut milk just as well?
I would also like to know what exactly coconut cream is. The recipe looks great.
Would it be possible to use cashew milk in place or the coconut milk? Is there a way to thicken the cashew milk to somewhat match the coconut milk?
I think it would work – you could add a little coconut oil to the blender to make the popsicles a little creamier.
Do you have a link to the molds you used? Those are a work of art!
These blueberry popsicles was so easy to make and you totally sold me with those gorgeous photos. My son absolutely loved it and it allowed us to spend time together so it was a win win. Thanks for sharing this.
Can the coconut cream be substituted with sour cream?
Can you include the basic nutritional info for your recipes?
Is the coconut cream you using the same kind that Tropical Traditions carry?
Can you use Almond milk and/or coconut oil instead of coconut milk? Trying to get by with what I have!
Almond milk will change the consistency (more icy than creamy) but you could definitely try it and see what you think 🙂
