5-Ingredient Avocado Key Lime Pie Popsicles (Vegan + GF)

Skip the freezer section and try making your own healthy popsicles at home. These taste like a key lime pie on a stick!

Prep Time 25 minutes
Freezing Time 4 hours
Servings 6 pops

Ingredients

  • 2 medium ripe avocados, pitted
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice about 4 small or 2 large limes
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or agave
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 1/3 cup raw cashews
  • 1/3 cup pitted dates
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt optional

Instructions

  1. Combine the cashews, dates, and salt in a small food processor or blender and pulse until very fine and starting to stick together in a sort of dough. It doesn't need to be completely smooth because you still want a little texture. (If you don't have a small food processor this can be done by hand-chopping but it does take much longer to get it as fine.) Pour the mixture into a small dish and set aside.
  2. Add the avocado, lime juice, syrup, and vanilla to the processor and blend until creamy smooth. Divide the mixture into your popsicle molds leaving about 1/2 inch of space empty at the tops (depending on the size of your mold it should fill about 6 slots). Now fill in the empty spaces with your nut/date mixture and press down just slightly.
  3. Insert popsicle sticks in the middle of each pop and freeze for a minimum of 8 hours until solid. Once frozen, run the outside of the mold under hot water for a few seconds to loosen the pops, then serve and enjoy!
