Avocado Lime Popsicles
I know, the thought of putting avocados into a dessert may seem a little strange, but I assure you these popsicles are positively delicious and refreshing.
As a matter of fact, avocados are used quite often for the preparation of desserts such as milk shakes in many eastern countries.
If you're still reluctant to try these avocado popsicles, let me reassure you that these do NOT taste like you're biting into an avocado. Once you add the lime juice and coconut milk, they taste just as delicious as any other Keto pops you've made in the past.
This is sure to be the best avocado dessert you'll have this summer. These healthy vegan popsicles are the perfect way to cool off.
But Why Avocado Popsicles?
Avocados have a fantastically high fat content, which makes them perfect for keto recipes. Their fat content makes them a great ingredient for making fat bombs, and what better way to consume a fat bomb than in these delicious Mexican popsicles?
As a matter of fact, I often eat a half avocado with salt and pepper at night for a fat bomb. So if you're not a fan of straight avocados, these popsicles are a fantastic way to still get that fat content without an overwhelmingly avocado-y flavor.
Let me reassure you that this does not taste like a frozen avocado! The sweetener and lime really help to add tang and flavor to the popsicle. They're actually so good that even your little ones are sure to enjoy them without a suspicion that they're eating avocados.
How to Make These Avocado Lime Popsicles
- Place all ingredients into a blender and mix until well blended. You will have a rather thick mixture at this point.
- Pour into 6 popsicle molds and freeze for 4-6 hours
- Alternatively, churn in an ice cream mixer and serve when set.
Is Coconut Milk Keto?
It sure is. Coconut milk is high in fat, low in carbs and is great for adding a great creamy texture to any recipe.
Not only is it a delicious addition to your Mexican popsicles, but it also makes this Keto avocado icecream dairy-free.
No Popsicle Molds? No Problem
You can mix this keto avocado ice cream and save in a freezer-safe container and eat it just as you would your favorite tub of ice cream. No churning required.
Tips and Tricks for Making Avocado Lime Popsicles
- The high-fat content also makes smoothies, as well as these popsicles, extra creamy and smooth. This is why you don't need eggs in these popsicles. They freeze hard and are not grainy at all!
- They're not exactly low calorie, but are very filling, so you might want to freeze in small popsicle molds for kids.
- You must use the lime in this recipe to keep your avocado from turning a weird brown colors. You can substitute lemon instead if you prefer it, but some citrus juice is needed for sure.
- Use heavy cream or half and half in place of the coconut milk, and you can definitely use real sugar if you're not low carbing.
- You can consider dipping the tops of these into a little melted chocolate for a little added treat. I suggest Lily's All Natural Dark Chocolate Premium Baking Chips as they're Stevia sweetened and vegan friendly.
- If you need a good, solid blender, check out Vitamix Blenders. They're wonderful blenders and they're what I use in my own kitchen.
- I love these popsicle molds, although they do make very large bars. They are very easy to get a neat and clean popsicle to pop out of them without any issues.
- You can also use these more traditional molds.
- If you want to make chocolate popos, simply follow all of the steps listed in the recipe. Just omit the lime juice and add unsweetened cocoa.
- Use any leftover avocado to make this refreshing Grapefruit Avocado Salad Recipe.

Really liked this! The coconut and lime complement the avocado so well. I doubled the lime amount and added a pinch of salt. Just FYI...using full fat coconut milk (Aroy-D) my nutritional numbers came out a little over double yours. For net carbs it is of little consequence. Enjoy your summer! 🍡
