Coconut Key Lime Pie Popsicle + Graham Cracker Crust – a cool and refreshing summer dessert that dairy-free and naturally sweetened!

How is Memorial Day next weekend already?  Is it me or has this year gone by faster than every other year … ever.  Nevertheless, I hope you are planning an epic Memorial Day cookout and I have a couple of recipes coming at you this week that will help you out (See also: How to Grill a Perfect Steak)!  Here is #1 – these creamy Coconut Key Lime Pie Popsicle + Graham Cracker Crust are SO good and SO refreshing and SO delicious.  They are must-have on your Memorial Day Menu!

Coconut Popsicles

I have made these Coconut Key Lime Popsicles as healthy as I possible could (while still tasting ah-mazing) – they are based off of a not-so-healthy key lime cheesecake recipe that is made with sweetened condensed milk, etc. and while part of me wanted to add those ingredients, I knew there was another way to sweeten these guys.  Soooo I turned to honey :-).  And it worked perfectly.  Honey, lime juice, lime zest, coconut milk and coconut yogurt.  That is it.  And it is wonderfully sweet and tart and everything a key lime pie should be.  My Dad has a soft-spot for key lime pie (psst. Dad.  You should make these!) so these are definitely something I will be making again and again!

Oh – and they were approved by both kiddos and the hubs.  So they are officially family friendly.

And that graham-cracker crust — ridiculous.  It is just crushed graham crackers tossed in ghee (butter will work too if dairy isn’t an issue for you).  It really adds that little something extra (and hello – ghee and graham crackers… yes, please).

So run to your kitchen and whip up a batch (just tell everyone you are testing out the recipe before the weekend — you gotta make sure it tastes good!).

Oh and if you need any more inspiration for Memorial Day – I would highlight the Smoked Pork Shoulder, Baked Beans and Purple Cabbage Coleslaw!  So good!
