Vegan Blueberry Coconut Popsicles
Blueberry and coconut make such a delicious combination.
The slight tartness of blueberries pairs well with the creaminess of coconut.
Ingredients and Substitutions
This frozen pops are made with three ingredients: blueberries, coconut milk, and maple syrup.
Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries may be used interchangeably. It doesn’t make a difference because you will be slightly cooking the fruit.
Out of blueberries? Swap in your choice of soft fruit such as raspberries, strawberries, or mango. They pair wonderfully with coconut milk!
Coconut Milk: Use full-fat, well-shaken canned coconut milk. Use high-quality coconut milk that lists “coconut” as the first ingredient.
Stay away from coconut milk with added thickeners like guar gum. This affects the texture of the frozen coconut milk.
Avoid “light” coconut milk or reduced-fat coconut milk that has a lot of added water. This will result in an icy texture.
Maple Syrup: Use high-quality pure maple syrup. It should only have ONE INGREDIENT: maple syrup. No added sugars, colorings, or preservations.
For richer flavor, use dark colored maple syrup.
Alternatively, you use favorite sweetener of choice such as agave or honey.
Recommended Popsicle Molds
I use these popsicle molds from Amazon. They’re inexpensive and work really well!
I’ve had mine for almost ten years and they’re still going strong.
Here are several ideas for ice pop molds you may already have at home:
- Ice cube tray: pour mixture into the tray, add heavy duty cocktail pick, and freeze.
- Paper cups: pour mixture into paper cups, cover with foil, and pop a wooden stick in. Freeze. Peel off paper when ready to eat!
- Small yogurt containers

Where do I purchase ice-pop molds?
I bought my at Amazon.com. There is a link to the product in the recipe notes.
I’m not fond of using maple syrup. Could raw honey be substituted instead?
Did you receive a reply? I have the same question.
Yes, you can use honey- but it will alter the taste slightly.
