Kiwi Coconut Chia Popsicles

Why add chia seeds to frozen pops?

Chia pudding is magical.

As the chia seeds soak and plump up in the delicious coconut milk, it absorbs its tropical flavors.

The end result is this rich, silky pudding.

One day I made too much. Rather than store it in the fridge, I poured the chia pudding into popsicles molds and popped them in the freezer.

Frozen chia? Is that good? YES. It’s amazing. Slushy kiwi slices, tropical coconut, all frozen in a portable stick?

The rest is history. I’ve been making these chia popsicles will all sorts of fruits.

Mix it up with pineapples, strawberries, or mango. I can’t wait for stone fruit season so I can experiment with peaches, plums, and apricots!

Summer… are you here yet?

I highly recommend these popsicle molds sold on Amazon. They are easy to clean and easy to use!

Here are a few more frozen pops recipes using the same popsicle mold:

  • Cherry Pineapple Popsicles swirl together three natural ingredients: frozen cherries, frozen pineapple chunks, and pineapple juice for one excellent summer treat.
  • Passion Fruit Rosé Popsicles are a fun and tasty way to enjoy rose wine blended with passion fruit, pineapple, and strawberry.
  • Coconut Avocado Popsicles are rich, creamy, and oh so satisfying!
  • Lava Flow Popsicles aka vacation on a stick! combines coconut, pineapple, and strawberries to create a tropical paradise of flavor.

    i have a problem where i buy a bunch of kiwis, then neglect them until they’re too mushy because i’m too lazy to peel them, and suddenly have to figure out what to do with 7 kiwis at once (besides composting them!). will have to try these out next time that happens (:

      Once the kiwis start getting soft, keep in the fridge to make them last longer! :)

    These look really delicious!! Is it possible to substitute the coconut milk with cows milk, or will it ruin the recipe? Or is it possible to just use soy milk for the whole recipe?

    Reply

      Thanks Jocelyn! If you substitute the coconut milk, the popsicles will not be as creamy. If you use cow’s milk or all soy milk, the popsicles will be very icy.

    Is it canned coconut milk or canned coconut cream?

    Reply
    • Maryanne Cabrera says:
      June 3, 2016

      Under the ingredients, it is listed as canned coconut milk. However, if you’d like creamier popsicles, you can use coconut cream.

    these look so great!! does almond milk work too or just coconut milk?

    Reply
    • Maryanne Cabrera says:

      Thanks Hannah! You can use almond milk, but the popsicles won’t be as creamy. With almond milk, they will be a bit icy.

    I wonder if using homemade cashew cream (instead of coconut milk) would provide creaminess and not get icy. Will have to try this – thank you for sharing the recipe!

      I haven’t tried it with cashew cream. The creaminess and ice would be determined by the amount of fat in the cashew cream. If you try it out, please let me know how it works! :)

    i’m allergic to coconut . would canned condensed milk work ? ? ? these look AWESOME ! ! ! really want to give them a shot . . . .

      No, canned condensed milk would be too sweet. It would throw off the balance. If you can’t consume coconut, you can try other alternative milks but the resulting popsicles may not be as creamy.

    Hi there! What do you mean by “1/4 + 1 Tbsp cup chia seeds” – is it 1/4 cup PLUS 1 Tablespoon? Thanks!!

      Thanks for catching that! It’s 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp of chia seeds.

    So you don’t have to make the chia pudding ahead of time? You just mix it up right there and pour it directly into the molds? Do the chia seeds have enough time to get soft that way?

    Reply
    • Maryanne Cabrera says:
      April 19, 2017

      I mixed together the chia pudding and directly transferred them to into the molds. It takes a few hours for the mixture to solidify. During that period the chia has enough time to absorb the liquids and soften.

    Pretty pops fit for a magazine page!
    Pretty and healthy too…a kiwi has more vitamin C than an orange & even its seeds are good for you. Regarding the milk issue: another way to prevent that dreaded icyness is with a banana. Those don’t freeze solid because of their soluble fiber. So, if you wanted to skip the coconut milk (as the person with the allergy wants) blending in a banana with regular nut milk / rice milk to a smooth puree could also work. It’s a handy sweetener as well & ought to get along with the kiwi as they’re both tropical fruits. But, with the banana in there, it might not need as much added sweetener.
