Vegan Strawberry Popsicles
Trying to find a healthy popsicle recipe to keep cool with for summer? These delicious strawberry popsicles are just what you need!
Completely dairy and refined sugar-free, these keto fruit popsicles will quickly become a quick summer treat. Made with coconut and rhubarb, this strawberry Popsicle recipe is filled with bright flavors and colors.
We made these summer Popsicles one afternoon after my mom gifted us with some of her garden rhubarb. My stepdad is a big rhubarb fan so they have two big rhubarb plants and always have more than enough to share with us and their neighbors. Amazing, right?
Ready with or without a blender, these coconut Popsicles can be poured directly into a mold as soon as the sweet mixture is finished cooking. If you are low on time and do not feel like making separate layers for these Popsicles, then just pour all the ingredients together! Either way, this summer recipe creates a light, cool, and refreshing treat.
Ingredients For These Healthy Fruit Popsicles
- strawberries; fresh or frozen
- rhubarb – if you are not a fan of rhubarb, you can leave it out and add 1 more cup of strawberries or other berries of your choice: blueberries, rasperries or blackberries
- maple syrup; substitute with Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener for keto or sugar-free diets; omit for Whole30
- coconut milk; We use this full-fat canned coconut milk, but feel free to use a different brand
How To Make Strawberry Popsicles
- COOK THE STRAWBERRIES: Combine strawberries, rhubarb and maple syrup in a small pot on the stove over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil then lower heat to a simmer.
- Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until fruit is broken down (about 15 minutes). Remove from the heat and let cool for about 10-15 minutes. (At this point you can either divide evenly into Popsicles molds or blend into a puree if you want a smoother consistency.)
- POUR INTO POPSICLE MOLDS: Divide into molds filling 1/4 – 1/3 of the way, reserving the rest of the mixture for layering, and place in the freezer to set up.
- LAYER WITH COCONUT MILK: Once the strawberry rhubarb mixture is slightly frozen, take the pops out of the freezer and pour in a layer of coconut milk. Return molds back to the freezer until frozen.
- ADD POPSICLE STICKS: Remove and pour in remaining strawberry rhubarb mixture. Cover with top, add sticks and place the pops back in the freezer, about 4-5 hours until frozen.
- Remove the popsicles from their molds before serving. You can run a little warm water over the molds to help loosen the popsicles from their molds, if necessary.
Notes
Once the pops are completely frozen, you can remove them by placing them in a shallow bath of warm or running water for about 10 seconds.
If you are low on time and do not feel like making separate layers, then just pour all of the ingredients together.
Once the strawberries and rhubarb are cooked and cooled, they can go straight into your popsicle mold.
Storing These Strawberry Rhubarb Popsicles In The Freezer
These fruit Popsicles will stay fresh in the freezer for about six to eight months. In the mood for making huge batches of these sweet treats? We recommend creating a batch of these summer Popsicles to enjoy all throughout the warmer months.

If you are short on time, you don't have to wait for the strawberry rhubarb layer to freeze before pouring in the liquid. You won't get the layered effect but it will not affect the taste.

I’m with you – with the heat we’ve been having my ice pop molds have been getting plenty of use lately!! I love the rhubarb / coconut combo! Sounds fantastic! And I always love strawberry anything! 🙂

I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never had rhubarb. It looks too much like celery, which I despise. I need to change the way I think because these popsicles sound so good! I bet they are the perfect way to cool off after a long hot day of running errands.
