these popsicles are made with a coconut milk, medjool dates and peaches for a sweet frozen treat.
So excited to share my very first popsicle recipe! And my second frozen dessert, technically speaking, as I did share a very easy frozen yogurt and granola bark recently as well. I also am working on developing an ice cream recipe, but by the looks of it, it may be dropping in the fall and not the summer…you can’t win em all!!
Back to the recipe at hand — these peaches n’ cream popsicles are not only so yummy, they are also pretty flexible. You could swap out peaches for any fruit you desire, I was definitely planning to try a strawberry version next, but after a poll on my IG led to peaches n’ cream flavour being favoured, I decided to stick with peaches for now.
The base of these popsicles are made with a mixture of coconut milk and softened medjool dates, resulting in a perfectly sweet creamy popsicle– it’s hard to go wrong using either of those ingredients, to be honest. So we’re already off to a winning start (pat on the back), but things get even tastier when you add the peach-based filling. Said peach filling is made with fresh peaches (but if you only have frozen, you do you!) and a little bit of honey, and a spritz of fresh lime or lemon (again, you do you!).
After you have both parts of the popsicle mixed and blended (you will need a food processor or a blender), you can take whatever popsicle molds you have – I love ones like this from Amazon though, cause they look like “legit” popsicles which is always fun for someone who can no longer have store-bought popsicles (ahem). However, whatever you have will work, you may end up with less or more popsicles depending on the size of your mold and the shape. I made ten popsicles, but I did have some peach filling leftover, which I froze in an ice cube tray (it really wasn’t that many) — and those alone are so good to pop out and enjoy as a snack or even just throw them in your next smoothie! I might have to do frozen fruit cubes next just based off that filling!

peaches ‘n cream popsicles: ingredients
the peaches portion
- 3 peaches, peeled and chopped into chunks (approx 2 cups)
- 1 cup coconut milk (that you had set aside)
- 3 tbsp honey
- squeeze of fresh lime or lemon juice
the cream portion
- 2 cans coconut milk (set aside 1 cup of coconut milk for peaches mixture below)

- 1/8 tsp pink Himalayan salt
peaches ‘n cream popsicles: how to
the peaches portion
- start by preparing your peaches portion, place your peeled and chopped peaches, honey and squeeze of lime or lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat, bringing to a boil.
- stir frequently, once it begins to bubble, turn down the temperature to a simmer, and continue to stir occasionally for another 30 minutes or so, until the peaches are softened and mush.
- remove from heat and set aside to cool a bit, while you prep the cream portion.
the cream portion
- blend the softened dates (pits and skins removed, the skins can slide right off if they’re soft enough), coconut milk and salt in a food processor or blender until completely smooth.
- remove from food processor once its well blended and set aside in a container that’s easy enough to pour from later.
- now throw in your peaches mixture as well as the remaining cup of coconut milk you had set aside, and blend until smooth (you can also leave it a bit chunkier when blending, if you want some peach pieces in the popsicles).
- once both your mixtures are prepped, take your popsicle molds, and alternate between pouring in the cream mixture, adding the peaches mixture, and ending with the cream mixture.
- if you have any leftovers that you can’t fit in the popsicle molds, feel free to freeze these as cubes and use in smoothies or enjoy as a frozen snack out of the freezer (also really good in bite-size form!)
- cover your popsicle molds, and place in the freezer, ideally for five hours at the minimum. carefully remove, and store in individual little baggies in the freezer and enjoy!
