What Do I Need To Make These Strawberry Coconut Popsicles
Strawberries. Fresh berries or frozen work. Just make sure you have ripe, flavorful berries, as they will be a big stand-out flavor.
Coconut Milk. Whole fat coconut milk is best, as it will amplify the richness of the bars.
Stevia. So I used stevia to sweeten the popsicles. If you do not want to use a sweetener, you can use honey, maple syrup, or even agave.
Vegan Biscuits. I used vegan biscuits to crumble and sprinkle on the bottom part of the popsicles. This is optional, and you can skip it if you want. If you are not vegan, you can use any cookie, graham cracker, etc., to crumble on the popsicles.

- 1 can of full-fat coconut milk

What if I don’t own a food processor?
If you don’t own a food processor, you can use a blender as well. Or reach for a potato masher and break up the berries by hand. It will take more time to do, but you will find you can puree the strawberries all the same.
You do not have to have special equipment to make these bars.
How to make without popsicle molds?
Using small paper cups, pour your popsicle mixture into the cups, and then place aluminum foil on top of each lid. Then poke a popsicle stick in the center, and the aluminum foil will hold the sticks in place.
This is a quick way to make homemade popsicles without molds. Then you will peel away the paper cups once frozen and serve up these berry popsicles.
Variations to this strawberry popsicle recipe
- Add in other berries – raspberries, blackberries, etc.
- Swap the strawberries with peaches, kiwi, or any other fruit.

- Leave the crumbles off the popsicles if you want.
Can I make these strawberry coconut popsicles in advance?
Go right ahead and make these a few days in advance if you want. I always recommend making popsicles a day in advance, as it takes time for the popsicles to set up.
So, feel free to make these up to three days in advance. Then serve and enjoy! Just store the popsicles in the molds and cover them, so they don’t develop ice crystals.
STORAGE :
You can keep the popsicles in the freezer for a couple of weeks.
