Strawberry Coconut Cheesecake Popsicles
We are just coming out of a long weekend ushering in the start of summer! As someone pointed out last week, we have fifteen weekends before Labor day and I intend to relish every single one of them. That includes eating as much summer produce as possible, spending more quality time with my family, including more experiences into our daily activities and eating more popsicles of course.
Nothing says summer like homemade popsicles and I have a new one for you to add to your collection. These strawberry coconut cheesecake popsicles are creamy, delicious and refreshing. They are the perfect snack, dessert or hot weather chiller.
I’ve made a few popsicles in my days (check out my collection HERE) and every time I combine cream cheese with a fruity blend, I am in love. The cream cheese adds a tangy flavor and creaminess that regular popsicles don’t have. You need to try it sometime. It also is great in ice cream like this blueberry cheesecake ice cream.
To ourย strawberry and cream cheeseย mixture here, I added some coconut to the mix by using coconut milk instead of whole milk. Not only is coconut great with strawberries, it also makes the pops a little healthier (but I’m sure that’s canceled out with the cream cheese!!).
Regardless, this combination of flavors is a must this summer! Add these strawberry coconut cheesecake popsicles to your list! For more popsicle ideas, check out these favorites too.

Popsicles are one of my favorite summer treats! It’s like, they feel healthy but can actually be decadent…like these!
Exactly!! So decadent and can be good for you with fruits ๐
My parents live down the road from a strawberry farm, and even though our strawberry season is winter here (no idea why?) I think these cheesecake-like treats will go down like a dream! I can’t wait to try them!
So jealous of the strawberry farm. That would be a dream ๐
I have all of these ingredients!! This needs to happen in my kitchen this summer!
DO IT!! And let us know how you love them!
