Creamy Avocado Coconut Popsicles Recipe

These creamy avocado coconut popsicles are made with just four wholesome ingredients: nutrient-dense avocados, coconut-almond milk, raw sugar, and shredded coconut. They’re dairy-free, vegan-friendly, vegetarian, and gluten-free—an easy, refreshing treat that combines silky avocado with bright coconut flavor.

Avocado Coconut Popsicles

If you enjoy homemade, healthy frozen treats, try these popsicles as a simple, satisfying option. They’re perfect for warm days, make-ahead snacks, or a lighter dessert. The texture is smooth and creamy thanks to ripe avocado, while the coconut adds a pleasant tropical sweetness and texture from the flakes.

You might also enjoy other fruit- and coconut-forward frozen treats such as Frozen Coconut Mango Popsicles, Citrus Basil Mojito Pops, and Raspberry Coconut Chia Pudding Pops—simple recipes that pair fresh fruit and natural flavors into easy popsicles.

I’ve always been a little avocado-obsessed. I grew up eating avocados daily and typically enjoy them in savory preparations—guacamole, sandwiches, egg salad, homemade salad dressings, and even soups. In Brazil, where my father lived for many years, avocados were frequently enjoyed as a sweet fruit rather than seasoned with salt. My dad used to blend avocado with milk and sugar into a smoothie he called vitamina. I adapted that idea, adding coconut flakes and swapping in coconut-almond milk for a dairy-free twist. The result is a creamy popsicle that highlights the avocado’s natural richness and provides healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals in every bite.

These popsicles are quick to prepare and require minimal equipment: a blender and a popsicle mold. They’re great for families, make-ahead parties, or whenever you want a simple frozen snack without dairy. Because the base is avocado, the texture stays creamy even after freezing, so you don’t get the icy graininess typical of many water-based popsicles.

Recipe: Avocado Coconut Popsicles

Yield: 10 popsicles | Prep: 10 mins | Freeze time: about 3 hours

Ingredients

4 oz Haas avocado (about 1 medium avocado)
2 1/3 cups unsweetened coconut-almond milk (or another unsweetened plant milk)
6 tbsp raw sugar, or your preferred sweetener (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut flakes

Instructions

In a blender, combine the avocado, coconut-almond milk, and raw sugar. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
Add the shredded coconut flakes and pulse or briefly blend just to incorporate them. The flakes should be dispersed throughout the mixture for texture.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little headspace for expansion. Insert sticks and freeze until firm, about 3 hours or overnight for best results.
To unmold, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds, then gently pull the popsicles free.

Tips and variations

For a less sweet option, reduce the sugar or use a liquid sweetener like agave or maple syrup. When using liquid sweeteners, adjust the milk amount slightly if the mixture becomes too thin.
Swap shredded coconut for unsweetened coconut if you prefer less sweetness from the flakes, or toast the coconut lightly for a more pronounced flavor.
Ripe avocados yield the best texture and flavor. If avocados are underripe, the popsicles may be less creamy.
Stir in a squeeze of lime for a brighter, slightly tangy flavor that complements the avocado and coconut.
