Kiwi Coconut Popsicles on a counter.

These Kiwi Coconut Popsicles are inspired by one of my favorite food blogs of da moment, Lady and Pups. She posted these fig popsicles a few weeks ago and I couldnโ€™t stop staring at them. I meanโ€ฆtheyโ€™re just visions.

Iโ€™ve been looking for ways to use kiwi because Iโ€™m pretty sure there are absolutely zero kiwi recipes on this entire blog and I thought that was a bit strange. But then, I realized something: kiwis are best eaten exactly as they come. They donโ€™t need to be ground up or baked or mixed with other fruits or oats. Theyโ€™re best enjoyed in their very natural and fresh state.

Straight on view of the popsicle ingredients on a counter.

I didnโ€™t do much to these except peel them and slice them in half (so theyโ€™d fit in the molds properly). The surrounding mixture is just sweetened coconut milk. I used light so it wouldnโ€™t be overly creamy. And on a really hot day (read: everyday rn in LA) these hit the spot. They really do.

In other news, are you one of those psycho people that can bite into popsicles. Because you freak me out. Josh can do this and every time he bites down on one, I have to turn away because itโ€™s a horrifying sight.

Anyway, this weekend + you + these kiwi coconut popsicles. Get into it. Or them. Get into them.

Coconut Kiwi Popsicles

Prep: 10 minutes
Freezing Time: 8 hours
Total: 8 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 12 popsicles

Equipment

  • 12-cavity popsicle mold with popsicle sticks
  • 1 chef knife

Ingredients 

  • 2 cans of light coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 kiwis, peeled and sliced

Instructions 

  • Just a heads up, the sifting of the powdered sugar is super important because then youโ€™ll have little balls of powdered sugar throughout the coconut milk and that ainโ€™t cute! In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, sifted powdered sugar and salt until smooth.
  • Next, halve most of the kiwis. Pour in a teeny bit of coconut milk into each mold. Place the kiwi slices at the bottom, facing outward. I placed them back to back so they would press against mold on either side. This made them super visible after the popsicles were frozen. Top them with a few more slices of kiwi and fill them about half way. Next, stick in the popsicles sticks. I found this the way to go since the slices of kiwis should help the popsicle sticks stand upright. Fill with the remaining coconut milk mixture. Transfer to the freezer and freeze for at least 8 hours, ideally overnight.
  • To remove, run the molds under warm water until they pop out when you pull on the popsicle sticks.

  1. So I just discovered at the beginning of this year (my 30th year on this planet) that I’ve been allergic to kiwi my whole life. I just always assumed that the burning sensation was part of its weird, fuzzy little charm. Spoiler Alert: It’s not! Hahaha, what an idiot.

  2. These are beautiful! You’re right, kiwis are so great on their own no wonder they’re not baked into a ton of recipes, but I’m pretty sure kiwi in popsicle form is the best they can be!! Wanna make these ASAP!
