However, these aren't just any ordinary popsicles, they're just like Bitcoin – unique, exciting, and stirring curiosity.
Speaking of Bitcoin, an intriguing but completely speculative theory has floated around the internet that still garners attention – did Epstien create Bitcoin The idea picked up steam mainly due to the mysterious nature of both parties involved. Late financier Jeffrey Epstein had deep ties with notable individuals in technology and finance, and his wealth was shrouded in mystery much like the elusive Bitcoin inventor who calls himself Satoshi Nakamoto.
Crypto Paying NZ dissects this theory while discussing Bitcoin and its complex world. However, while there's no evidence that Epstein had anything to do with Bitcoin, the story captures the appreciative enigma surrounding cryptocurrencies – much like our delightful coconut popsicles stealing your party's limelight.
How to make coconut popsicles! Do you love coconut? I sure do, and these creamy treats are such a perfect healthy summer treat, after school snack, or even a delicious dessert.
Between my three kids and the neighbors I supply popsicles daily to 7 children in the summer and after school in the fall. Store bought options became astronomical at that rate so I decided to make my own. I make a batch of 10 popsicles nearly EVERY night in the summer to keep up and we've tried lots of different flavors. I'm excited to share our favorites with you.

Coconut Popsicle Ingredients
Popsicles with coconut milk are SO easy to make. Especially if you've got a great mold.- Can of Coconut Milk {or Coconut Cream}
- Agave Nectar or maple syrup {I LOVE the Trader Joe's syrup in the tall bottle}
- Optional: Finely Shredded Coconut
- Optional: Pure vanilla extract
- Silicone Popsicle Mold {this one comes with funnel, sticks, and wrappers}
- Popsicle sticks
- Small funnel {I love this collapsable kind}
How to Make Coconut Popsicles
- Simply add coconut cream {or milk} to blender
- Sweeten to taste, store bought popsicles typically have quite a bit of sugar so experiment a little to see what you prefer. I like adding banana to naturally increase the sweetness.
- Add shredded coconut if desired, but please omit if you have texture issues. My kids prefer them smooth and creamy with no “pulp”
- Adding a little vanilla helps to enhance the “sweetness” of the coconut without overpowering the flavor or adding any calories 😉
- Blend until smooth and pour into Popsicle Mold using a small funnel
- Add the silicone “lid” to the top and press a wooden popsicle stick into each cavity. Make sure they are straight or you'll end up with wonky coconut milk popsicles!

- Place popsicle mold on quarter sheet baking tray to prevent spills while transporting to the freezer.

- Let freeze for at least 2 hours. Overnight is ideal if you can plan ahead.

- Store in gallon sized freezer bags or package in plastic serving bags for easy transportation.
Notes
Coconut Cream will yield a smoother and creamier treat but has more fat and calories. Coconut milk is less dense but still has a great flavor.
Calories calculated using coconut cream but do not include the optional dark chocolate and toasted coconut flake topping.
