Key Lime Pie Popsicles

Key Lime Pie Popsicles are tangy, lightly sweet, creamy, and refreshing frozen treats with a bit of graham cracker crunch in every bite. Whether you call them lime yogurt pops or key lime frozen bars, they’re the kind of no-bake dessert that hits the spot, especially on a warm day. Just a bowl, some molds, and a freezer, and you’re halfway there.

I love to make these popsicles during the summer when it feels like everyone’s craving something cold and easy. They’re perfect for laid-back afternoons or family BBQs, and I can make them ahead so they’re ready to go straight from the freezer. Since they store well, I always keep a batch on hand for those hot days when a frozen treat hits just right.

You’ll find making these popsicles super easy if you follow my simple instructions below.

Mix the Yogurt Base

Grab a medium mixing bowl and whisk together the yogurt, coconut milk, lime zest (I use this microplane zester for this), honey, and lime juice. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth and everything is evenly combined.

I like using my glass mixing bowl set with lids here because it keeps the lime zest from escaping while whisking, and I can pop the lid on if I get pulled away mid-prep (which happens often).

Fill and Layer the Molds

Pour the yogurt mixture into each popsicle mold, filling them halfway. A small silicone funnel helps keep things tidy here—it’s just less chaos when you’re pouring something creamy into narrow molds.

Add a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs to each, then pour in the rest of the yogurt mixture until nearly full.

Leaving a little space at the top gives the popsicles room to expand as they freeze—and avoids overflow—and makes them easier to pop out later. Finish off the layer with another light sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs on top.

Insert the Sticks and Freeze

Place a popsicle stick into each mold, making sure it’s centered and standing upright. I use a silicone popsicle mold like this one that comes with reusable sticks and has a flexible base, which makes unmolding way easier than the hard plastic ones.

Carefully transfer the molds to your freezer and freeze for 4 to 5 hours or until completely set.

Remove and Enjoy

To release the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for about 10 seconds. Gently pull them out and enjoy straight away—or serve them with an extra crumble of graham crackers if you want a little more crunch.

Recipe Notes and Expert Tips

I’ve made these popsicles a few different ways, and here are the tips I always come back to for getting the best results:

  • Use Full-Fat Yogurt: This gives the popsicles a creamier texture and helps prevent ice crystals from forming.
  • Zest Before You Juice: It’s much easier to zest a whole lime than one that’s been juiced—do this step first.
  • Taste and Adjust: If your limes are too tart or sour, feel free to add a bit more honey before freezing.
  • Pour Carefully: A small spoon or funnel makes it easier to fill the molds without spills.
  • Layer the Crumbs: Adding the graham cracker crumbs in the middle and on top gives that real pie-like bite.
  • Don’t Fill to the Top: Leave a little space in each mold so the mixture has room to expand as it freezes and to avoid overflow.
  • Freeze on a Flat Surface: To keep your popsicles nice and even, make sure the molds sit flat in the freezer.
  • Use Warm Water to Release: When you’re ready to eat, warm water on the outside of the mold will help them slide out cleanly.

How to Store Leftovers

After freezing them, you can keep the popsicles in the molds or remove them and wrap them individually in parchment or plastic wrap. Store them in a sealed freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for up to 1 month.

They’re best enjoyed frozen, straight from the freezer. Avoid refreezing once they’ve softened or thawed, as it can make them a bit icy, grainy, and less creamy. So, just take out what you’re ready to eat and leave the rest frozen.

What to Serve With Key Lime Pie Popsicles

You can enjoy these popsicles as is, or you can play around with how you want to serve them. You can pair them with fresh berries, a scoop of coconut whipped cream, or a cold drink like lemonade or iced green tea.
