In Epi's 3-Ingredient Recipes series, we show you how to make great food with just three ingredients (plus staples like oil, salt, and pepper).
These refreshing pops blend two kinds of coconut for an extra rich, creamy flavor, and lime zest lends a lovely floral note.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    3 hours (including freezing time)

  • Yield

    Makes 10

Ingredients

1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup cream of coconut, such as Coco Lopez
1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest

Special Equipment

10 (2.5-ounce) ice-pop molds and sticks

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk coconut milk, cream of coconut, and lime zest in a medium bowl. Divide mixture among ice-pop molds, leaving about 1/2" space at the top. Freeze until slushy, about 30 minutes.

    Step 2

    Stir to redistribute lime zest, cover molds, insert sticks, and freeze until ice pops are solid, at least 2 hours.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 3

    Ice pops can be made 3 months ahead. Freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight container and keep frozen.
