Coffee Popsicles
I am a self-confessed coffee addict. I don't drink it all day long, but I do love, love, love coffee.
We have a Nespresso machine at home, and I swear if I could pack that machine in my bag, it would go EVERYWHERE with me! There are cheaper Nespresso machines, but as much as we use this coffee machine daily, I needed a workhorse.
So I am always all about the coffee! I drink hot coffee in the morning, and then throughout the rest of the day, it's all about iced coffee for me. In fact, I made this Keto Iced Caramel Macchiato recipe just as another way to feed my coffee addiction.
Thankfully, these Keto Coffee Popsicles offer a reprieve from the summer sun without losing that beloved coffee. No need to miss out on that dire pick-me-up for the day when you have these around. I mean, you can't take them to work but, who knows, you might find a way.
What Is Keto Coffee?
Bulletproof coffee is a drink consisting of brewed coffee, grass-fed unsalted butter, and coconut oil. Bulletproof coffee is popular with people following a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet.
But really, bulletproof keto coffee is just a way to a) drink more coffee b) drink delicious coffee c) not be hungry for a while.
The higher fat content keeps you full for most of the morning, and if you're fasting until later in the day, a bulletproof coffee or coffee popsicle can be just the thing to tide you over.
I made these dairy-free bulletproof coffee popsicles with full-fat coconut milk out of a can. You need that thickness to make them set into creamy, frozen goodness.
I use either this flat popsicle mold or this more traditional mold. The flat one is easier to take out one popsicle at a time, but the traditional mold makes more pops at a time.
What's With The Nutmeg?
Deliciousness. That's what.
Actually South Indian coffee is often made with either cardamom and/or nutmeg in it. So why can't we have a keto coffee popsicle that uses those?
We can. Because we're grown ups!
And speaking to being grown ups, you can have these bulletproof coffee popsicles for BREAKFAST! Because you can.
Does Coffee Break A Fast?
Plan black coffee in moderation will not break a fast. However, when you add any additional calories to it, such as butter or heavy cream, this will break a fast. So, unfortunately, you can't enjoy these coffee popsicles and still stay in a fasting state.
Variations to Making Coffee Popsicles
- Mocha Pops: Omit nutmeg, add 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa.
- Cardamom Pops: Omit nutmeg, add 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom.
- Boozy Pops: Omit nutmeg. Add 1-2 tablespoon Bailey’s Irish Cream or Kahlua to your popsicles. Note this will increase their carb counts. Do not overdo the alcohol as it will affect the final consistency of the popsicles.
These Coffee Popsicles are an easy treat to make and offer all the benefits of a cup of coffee, including the delicious flavors and aromas! They're a coffee lover's dream, and since they're low carb they might become your latest food addiction!

The flavor on these are great. However, my consistency was very icy (not creamy). Does that happen when you over stir or under stir? Or are they supposed to be that way?
URVASHI PITRE
Maybe you needed a little more cream in it?
Angie
I noticed a contradiction re: fasting. Earlier in the post you say that, if a person is fasting the fat content in these will "help tide you over.". Later you state that adding calories will break the fast.
URVASHI PITRE
Fat doesn’t raise insulin so if you’re really hungry and feel like you will break your fast, faT is safer than anything else you could eat. I hope that makes sense.

The recipe says this has only 7 kcal. That can't be correct if you are using the full-fat coconut milk linked in your recipe. One-eighth of a can has 75 kcal. And one cup of the almond milk linked in your recipe has 90 calories. I trust websites to offer the correct nutritional information, especially if promoting it as Keto-friendly, so you might want to correct that.

Ok j'ai trouvé

C quoi de la poudre mélangé??
URVASHI PITRE
Swerve? c’est un édulcorant spécial Keto. consultez le lien dans la fiche de recette pour cela.
Vous pouvez utiliser du sucre pour ca si vous n’est pas Keto.

Can anyone suggest where I might buy the espresso powder? Thanks so much. This sounds like a perfect treat!
URVASHI PITRE
I have a link to it in the post. If you click on where it says espresso powder on the recipe card you can get it. Many grocery stores also carry it near the instant coffee

I just made these a couple days ago and they are amazing! Coffee flavored treats just make me a happy girl! I used real sugar (no dietary restrictions here). It’s hard to eat just one. Love your “no-fuss” approach to recipes, Urvashi!
Roxana Lopez
I wonder if you might have run the nutrition panel for this recipe. You usually include them, which I very much appreciate. Thanks.
