What I Love About This Keto Popsicles Recipe

Two words: CHOCOLATE POPSICLES. Enough said. Welp, and…

• These take 5 minutes to make! Literally, my husband could make these, and that’s saying a lot…
• There are only 6 ingredients, which you probably already have.
• They taste like fudgsicles! If I could mic drop right now, I would.
• They’re the perfect dessert to keep in the freezer to curb all your sweet chocolatey cravings.

Recipe Notes

Not much to it! Here’s what you need to know:

Ingredient Notes

Keto milk. We’ll use 2 types of milk to make these keto popsicles. We prefer this combo of low and high fat milks for both taste, richness, and texture — all high fat was too rich to eat, all low fat was bland and not creamy.

When using the canned coconut milk, be sure to use both the liquid and cream from the can (they separate when stored). You can also use heavy cream instead of this ingredient. For the lower fat milk, we like coconut or almond milk.

Cocoa powder. Dutch-process works best in these keto popsicles (and most dessert recipes in my option) as it’s significantly less bitter than traditional cocoa powder.

Sweetener. Use whatever sweetener you like best, just keep in mind, in the recipe below I use either Lakanto or Swerve, which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. Check out my guide to keto sweeteners if you plan on using something other than those 2 brands.

Xanthan gum is a stabilizer and helps preserve the structure/creaminess of these popsicles when frozen (especially if you plan on storing these in the freezer for a while).

Recommended Toppings

These keto popsicles are incredible as is, but you can always add your own toppings for an easy upgrade…

We love to drizzle keto chocolate over the top, then either sprinkle or dip them in keto nuts — peanuts, almonds, pecans, you name it!

Shredded coconut and fruit powder are also delicious toppings.

Tools To Make

• Saucepan, heating the milk is the easiest way to whisk and dissolve the cocoa powder.
• Whisk
• Popsicle Mold. I use this one. If you don’t want to buy a new mold, use small plastic cups!
• Popsicle Sticks

Recipe Variations

Keto popsicles are the best dessert to have stashed in the freezer! Here are a few ways to make this recipe to your taste:

• Mix in fruit. Add your favorite keto fruits into the mix… strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are all great options. Check out my avocado ice cream for a surprisingly easy treat made out of fruit!
• I prefer milk chocolate for the chocolate drizzle, which I make by melting Lily’s sugar free chocolate chips with coconut oil. You can use this concept with your chocolate of choice… low carb dark chocolate, keto white chocolate, you name it.
• Turn these low carb popsicles into vanilla popsicles by simply skipping the cocoa powder! Bonus points, low carb vanilla ice cream is lower in carbs than low carb chocolate ice cream because there’s no cocoa.
• You can always make Greek yogurt popsicles with keto greek yogurt, fresh fruit, and erythritol instead of the ingredients below.
• Add cream cheese for cheesecake ice cream! Psst — this works magically with fruits such as strawberries. Simply swap the heavy cream with cream cheese. Similar to these cream cheese fat bombs or no bake cheesecake are, this keto popsicle variation will be soft, rich, and oh-so-delicious!

Lindsey's Tips

• Chocolate. I love Lily's chocolate chips for this (they make dark, semi-sweet, and milk) but you can always make your own low carb chocolate by following my recipe!  
• Lakanto, Swerve, or Erythritol. I stick to Lakanto and Swerve which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. If using a different brand of Erythritol, keep in mind it's 70% as sweet as sugar, so you may need to add more to taste. 
• Milk. I swap between unsweetened light almond or coconut milk.
• Xanthan Gum is necessary for binding the ingredients of this recipe together, you CAN'T SKIP OR SUB!
