Everyone knows I am crazy for popsicles — there's no better way to beat the heat on a Summer day. Although avocado is generally used in savory dishes like guacamole, it is a fruit and therefore is perfect for dessert!
These avocado coconut creamsicles are surprisingly delicious and decadent. The avocado, coconut milk, and cream freeze to an exceptionally smooth texture. Because the nutty flavor is incredibly rich and exceptionally filling, a little goes a long way, and next time, I will use a smaller popsicle mold. If you are tempted to experiment with avocados in this frozen treat, keep reading for the recipe.

Sounds kinda good if I can get past the color.
1they're beautiful...i wish i liked avocado!
2I loooooove avocado! It's hard to wrap my brain around an avocado popsicle, but I just might try it!
3ooh, I love avos in desserts!! Avocados make the best/creamiest fudge ever, yum!
4This would be so good. I live in the Middle East and there are juice stalls everywhere, they make and avo shake with milk, powdered milk, avo, honey and ice all blended and it is amazing (you can use some spices in it if you like too). Also, I have had avocado icecream and it is one of my favorites.
5i love avocado but popsicles sound weird.
6In Brasil, they thought we were crazy to put salt on the avocados and eat them with rice. We needed a break from the weeks of avocado pudding for dessert.
They also used bananas in a rice dice, and green plantains with syrup for a dessert. To them, we were backwards.
I will try the avo Popsicles for a trip down memory lane.
7I love avocado, but bleh
I recently tried making crema de avocado -- chilled avocado soup -- and found it rather revolting. Most of it went down the drain. I have a feeling the popsicles would join them.
8sounds yum!
9Yuck...not in popsicles.
10I'll give it a try
11Growing up in Southeast Asia, avocado was always used as dessert.
And so far I've not yet gotten used to the idea of avocado as part of a dish.
12I grew up drinking cold, creamy avocado smoothie with chocolate syrup and sweet condensed milk LOL, that's like so good during our LONG summer. In fact, avocado is my mom's fave dessert.
And avocado ice cream (even popsicles) is everywhere, I was so surprised that avocado is used in a dish instead of dessert when I got to US
Hmmm. My husband is a guacamole freak and he also loves popsicles of just about any kind. I might have to make these for him to at least try. They look very interesting and probably yummy.
13i'd give it a try
14I think this would taste pretty good. Where I live (a country somewhere in Asia), avocado is considered a fruit. We usually eat it as is, or with milk and sugar. I also love avocado ice cream and milkshakes. That's why I can't wrap my head around guacamole.
15i made an avocado pie one- avocado, lime and sugar basically. tasted just like key lime, super delicious. will def try out these pops!
16I'm going to try this. I love avocados! And coconut milk too. It *looks* strange, but worth a try for sure!
