Avocado popsicles are a real thing! I had no idea! My coworker clued me in when he saw me going to town on an avocado in the break room at lunch, spoon in one hand and beautiful green fruit in the other. He recalled the avocado popsicle being a popular treat when he lived in the Philippines and my ears perked right up.
Don't forget to PIN it for later! ?
I am a total avocado fiend, so of course, I needed to know all about it and grilled him for details. When I asked what was typically in an avocado popsicle, he rattled off a few key ingredients that Iâve been avoiding since eating low carb, namely the milk and sugar. At first, I was disappointed that I wouldnât be able to enjoy the treat. But then I started dreaming up low carb substitutions that would stand up to the challenge.
Avocado Popsicle Recipe with Coconut Milk & Lime
Rather than using milk as the traditional Filipino recipes do, I used coconut milk. I also substituted sugar with granulated Swerve sweetener, which is a zero carb, zero calorie natural sweetener that measures and cooks just like sugar. I love Swerve because it lets you sweeten without the weird aftertaste that accompanies many sweeteners and it doesnât hurt my tummy. Erythritol rules!
Now, Iâve never tasted a Filipino avocado ice pop, so I can't give you a comparison breakdown. But I can confirm thatthe popsicles Iâve been making lately are amazing. I donât miss the milk or sugar at all. They are just the right amount of sweet and the texture is reminiscent of a fudgsicle â so smooth and creamy! The coconut, lime, and avocado come together perfectly; the flavors really play off of each other.

Ingredients
- 2 avocados pitted
- 1.5 cups coconut milk
- Œ cup erythritol Granular Swerve sweeter
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
US Customary - Metric
Instructions
Place all ingredients into a blender; secure lid and pulse to break down ingredients.
Scrape down the inner sides of the blender to incorporate splattered ingredients and replace lid.
Blend until the mixture is a smooth, creamy consistency without lumps.
Evenly distribute the mixture into six popsicle molds. The blended ingredients are thick; you may find spooning the mixture into the molds easier than pouring.
Tap the filled molds on the counter top to remove air bubbles and settle the mixture.
Place popsicle sticks or handles into the mixture in the center of the molds.
Freeze the molds for several hours, until the mixture has completely solidified.
When you are ready to eat, run the mold under water briefly to help release the popsicle. Gently pull the popsicle out by the handle and enjoy!

I havenât even mentioned the best part yet: my daughter absolutely loves these avocado popsicles! Toddlers are notoriously picky eaters, and mine is no exception. She wonât usually touch an avocado, so I didnât have high hopes when I handed her a bright green popsicle. But her face lit up after that first lick, and she devoured it quickly. Win for mom, my babyâs eating healthful fats!

Can I substitute almond milk for the coconut milk and stevia for the sweetener?

I haven't tried it! I think it could work, but the flavor and consistency will be a bit different. If you try it, I'd be interested in hearing how it goes!

A question, is the coconut milk the kind in a carton for drinking,or the kind in a can? I just bought some popsicle molds and can't wait to try this.

Oh. My. Word. I am so excited to try this! I have been struggling hardcore as a vegetarian Keto-er to meet my macros but this looks like the best fat bomb ever!!! I have actually resorted to eating straight coconut oil to get my fat and I am struggling so hard with protein, this is such a huge help! Thank you so much. I absolutely love avocado, coconut, and lime. They are 3 of my very favorite things next to dark chocolate and popcorn (oh how I miss my homemade popcorn..... but homemade kale chips are almost as good! Love love love). I can't wait to try this recipe with Cacao powder and a bit of heavy whipped cream served as ice cream like that other person suggested.... woohoo!!! ????

These were awesome....so creamy. Had more than what the molds would hold so I just froze some in little dessert cups. So rich and satisfying.
