These refreshing Coconut pine lime pops are the ultimate tropical treat for hot days, blending creamy coconut with zesty citrus and sweet pineapple. Whether you are looking for healthy summer popsicle recipes to cool down by the pool or just want to enjoy the rich benefits of coconut milk, these dairy-free delights hit all the right notes with absolutely no refined sugar.
Origin Coconut pine lime pops
Inspired by the classic Australian “Splice” ice cream, this modern, whole-food version takes the beloved combination of pineapple and lime and wraps it in a dairy-free coconut shell. By using fresh tropical fruits rather than artificial syrups, you get to enjoy the incredible health benefits of pineapple while keeping the nostalgic, sunny flavors completely intact.
Why I Love This Recipe
I love how incredibly simple these are to whip up in a blender—no stove or cooking required! They easily slide right out of your favorite silicone popsicle molds and yield a beautifully vibrant, two-toned tropical dessert with almost zero effort.

kcalIngredients
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
¼ cup fresh lime juice
1 tsp freshly grated lime zest
1 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned, well-stirred)
2 tbsp pure maple syrup or agave nectar (divided)
Directions
- In a high-speed blender, combine the fresh pineapple chunks, lime juice, lime zest, and 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup. Blend until completely smooth.
- Divide the pineapple-lime puree evenly among 6 popsicle molds, filling them about two-thirds of the way to the top.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the full-fat coconut milk and the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup until completely smooth and combined.
- Gently pour the coconut mixture into the molds right over the pineapple layer, filling them to the top line.
- Insert your popsicle sticks, secure the lid on the mold, and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
- When ready to eat, run the outside of the molds under warm water for about 10–15 seconds to easily release the popsicles.
Notes
- For a fun texture, you can leave a few small, unblended chunks of pineapple in the fruit puree layer.
- If you don’t have fresh pineapple on hand, frozen pineapple chunks work perfectly; just let them thaw slightly before blending so the mixture is easy to pour.
- Keep the extra popsicles stored in their molds, or unmold them and transfer to an airtight freezer bag with parchment paper between them for up to 1 month.
