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!

Hope you have a great start to your week!!

A cool and refreshing summer dessert that dairy-free and naturally sweetened!
Ingredients
- 3 honey graham crackers, crushed
- 2–3 Tablespoons melted ghee (or butter)
- 1 can organic full fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup coconut yogurt (I used vanilla, unsweetened)
- 4 Tablespoons of organic honey
- juice of 2 1/2 limes
- zest of 3 limes
Instructions
- In small bowl, combine graham crackers and ghee (or butter) and mix together well so the graham crackers start to stick together.
- Set aside.
- In medium mixing bowl, add coconut milk and, using hand mixer, mix on medium -medium high for 3-5 minutes.
- Add honey, lime juice and lime zest.
- Mix with hand mixer for approx, 3-5 additional minutes.
- Take popsicle molds and pour mixture inside, leaving about an inch or less for the graham cracker.
- Spoon in graham cracker and push down a little bit. Fill as high as you can.
- Add sticks and then place in freezer for several hours.
- *Note: you can add additional lime zest into the popsicle mold before you add the coconut mixture.

These are absolutely gorgeous and sound amazing. I have a new front-runner for dessert at my weekend BBQ!!
Thank you so much, Monica!!! Glad you like them!!! Let me know if you make them!! ???
I’m obsessed with these!!! Key lime pie is one of my favorite desserts and I LOVE anything lime to be real. I’ll def have to make these for the crowd coming this weekend! I just need to find room in my freezer 😉
Thank you so much, Lindsay! We just finished the last of these last night and they really are so delicious ?. I know you have one or two delicious Popsicle recipes on your blog as well – we will have to try each other’s out and report back ?❤️
can you sub the honey for sugar? I think my granddaughter is still too young for honey and she will want a taste if we all have one!
Good question! In short, I am sure you could use sugar, I just have never tried doing it so I don’t know exactly how much you would need to equal the amount of honey called for. I would simply go by taste, adding a little at a time! Let me know how it goes! Those are some of my favorite Popsicles!!!
