A five-minute recipe for creamy limoncello coconut popsicles that are lemony and sweet-but-not-too-sweet. With limoncello…because adults need popsicles, too!
This one’s going to be a fast post! It’s Thursday, it’s summer, and let’s face it: you’re here for the limoncello coconut popsicles!
Apparently there’s a bunch of food bloggers participating in something called popsicle week. Well my invitation must have been lost in the mail, but guess what? I’m cool too, because I accidentally made my one and only batch of popsicles this year during popsicle week. #win #toocoolforschool
OK. So my limoncello coconut popsicles. Creamy coconut milk, fresh lemon juice, and a bunch of limoncello. And a bit of sugar. That’s right, there are only 4 ingredients in these babies! And they only take 5 minutes to whip up. #awesome
Also, there’s booze in these guys. Because I figure that adults need some popsicles, too. And I only have a little while until Kai figures out that mommy has a secret stash of popsicles and I have to stop putting alcohol in them, so I’m living it up for now! #woohoo!
Um yes, it’s been a long week and I’m now officially talking in hashtags #youknowyouloveit
Have a wonderful Thursday!
Creamy Limoncello Coconut Popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 can coconut milk lite works, but I recommend full-fat for the amazingly creamy texture it gives
- 1/2 cup limoncello
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- juice of 2 lemons
Instructions
- Blend everything together using a hand held mixer or a blender. Make sure there are not clumps of coconut milk left and that the sugar has dissolved.
- Pour into your popsicle molds, I have large popsicle molds and got 5 popsicles from this batch, but you may get more from smaller molds.
- Freeze for 12 hours or until completely frozen.
- Run molds under hot water for 30 seconds to remove the popsicles.

August 22, 2018 at 2:31 pmI have made these twice. Once frozen, the coconut creamy part seperates from liquidt part. How to keep that from happening?

August 27, 2018 at 4:11 pmHi Gab! That’s so weird! I’m wondering if your freezer might be warmer than mine? I definitely didn’t have that issue. Other than that, maybe there’s a difference in the alcohol content of our Limoncellos? I don’t drink anymore so I don’t have any to check the % alcohol 🙁

May 6, 2016 at 9:47 pmIt was either waste my day making an epic lemoncello cake or make 5 minute popsicles. Guess which won? I made them and they are epic. Wasnt impressed by the popsicle molds sold here in usa. they had straws attached?! We used large ice cube molds instead with popsicles sticks and covered the tray with parchment and aluminum foil. These are being served for mother’s day!
Denise
May 8, 2016 at 8:14 pmYay! I think you made the best choice 😉 I hope you enjoyed them and had a happy Mother’s day!

July 21, 2015 at 12:05 amOMG. I’m not even joking when I say this. I was trying to think of what to make for my next post and I was leaning toward key lime coconut popsicles. Can’t believe I stumbled upon this post today. Yours look better than I imagined mine to be 😛
Denise
July 23, 2015 at 8:47 pmKey Lime Coconut popsicles sound amazing, Cath! You should definitely make them. Let me know so I can come check them out 🙂

July 20, 2015 at 8:55 pmI had a shot of limoncello this weekend. It was a bit strong for me. I would have rather had in these popsicles. They look delicious!
Denise
July 20, 2015 at 9:20 pmI have to say I kind of think limoncello tastes like floor cleaner on it’s own 🙂 Thanks, Thao!

July 20, 2015 at 10:48 amThese boozy popsicles look like the best way to cool off on a hot summer night! I think I could find a back corner of my freezer to hide these from my kids. 😉

July 19, 2015 at 9:40 pmLimoncello has to be one of my favourite liqueurs ever so this recipe is just perfect. I wish it wasn’t Winter here in Australia so I could make these!
Denise
July 18, 2015 at 1:41 pmMaybe I have mind reading abilities? Thanks, Jessica 🙂

July 17, 2015 at 2:43 pmFull fat coconut milk is like magic in frozen treats — it makes things so smooth and creamy! I love these adult pops — the limoncello sounds delicious here!

July 17, 2015 at 8:30 amDenise, I LOVE these pops!!! These are GORGEOUS! and I love that you made these with only 4 ingredients!!! May I ask which mold you used? I love the shapes!
Denise
July 18, 2015 at 1:32 pmThanks, Alice 🙂 I can’t find any brand name on the popsicle molds…I bought them at the Canadian Superstore, which isn’t much help to you, but I swear I’ve seen American bloggers use the same ones, so they must be available in the US.

July 17, 2015 at 8:02 amI love the idea of boozy popsicles! I bought some really nice Limoncello from Tuscany last year. Might be tricky to convince the kids that these aren’t for them though 😉
Denise
July 18, 2015 at 1:33 pmYou might have to be sneaky and hide them from the kids! Mine is only 1 so it’s not very hard for me 🙂

Andrea @ Cooking with Mamma C
July 16, 2015 at 8:22 pmOh no you didn’t! I am dying over these! I could justify having these before 5 p.m., because they’re popsicles, right? Also, I’m happy to hear you are at home and working on your thesis. Good luck!
Denise
July 18, 2015 at 1:37 pmHa ha! You can TOTALLY justify these as popsicles, Andrea 🙂 The thesis writing is happening. Kind of. Slowly but surely… Thank you!
