Cookies and Coconut Cream Popsicles are refreshing and naturally vegan frozen treats made with everybody’s favorite cookie. (You don’t have to be a kid to love these cookies and cream popsicles!)
Popsicle season is a little like swimsuit season…you’ve got to get started thinking about it early, and it takes some serious prep. You’ve got to locate last year’s popsicle mold, haul it out and dust it off. Maybe you’ll want to invest in a cute new shape…and you’ll definitely need a fresh supply of sticks. You’ve got to start thinking about flavors, too, because if you’ve forgotten, hot weather has a tendency to pounce on us out of nowhere. You never know when it will hit, so be ready with a freezer full of these refreshing, creamy, and dreamy Cookies and Coconut Cream Popsicles.
I’m already well into popsicle season, behind the scenes. I’ve been experimenting with coconut milk as a base. I like it because it has a nice refreshing flavor, and a creamy consistency. I think it works perfectly with Oreos. The flavor seems to echo the flavor of the creme filling in the cookie.
One of the nice things about coconut milk and cream is that while it freezes hard, it doesn’t get icy like milk, yogurt, or juice based pops do, so if you like your frozen treats creamy, this is one to try. And coconut milk has been proven to contain a healthy type of fat, so you can feel good about eating it or giving it to your kids.
I loaded a whole cookie at the bottom of each popsicle, and blended the coconut milk with crushed cookies. It not only looks pretty, it’s super yummy. You can use coconut milk OR coconut cream for this recipe. Coconut cream is thicker, and contains less water. I’d say they are interchangeable for this pop.

- I think the crushed cookies make the popsicle sweet enough without added sugar, but if you like a sweeter popsicle, you can add some honey or sugar to taste.
Cookies and Coconut Milk Popsicles
Ingredients
- 14 ounce can coconut milk, you can also use coconut cream
- approximately 15 Oreo cookies
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Shake the can of coconut milk well. Pour it into a small mixing bowl and add the vanilla.
- Take 6-8 cookies and crush them. You can do this by putting them in a small food processor, or into a baggie and then using a rolling pin to roll over it and crush the cookies. They don't have to be completely crushed, you can leave as much texture in as you like.
- Fold the crushed cookies into the coconut milk, don't mix too much, just fold.
- Spoon a small amount of the mixture into the bottom of 5 popsicle molds.
- Insert a whole cookie into each of the molds. Carefully insert a popsicle stick into the molds, the stick will fit right into the filling of the cookie and stand by itself.
- Fill the molds with the rest of the cookies and cream mixture.
- Freeze until solid. This will take several hours.
- To remove the popsicles, fill your sink with hot water, and immerse the mold up to, but not over the top lip and hold for 15 seconds. Remove from the water and then gently remove the popsicles.
- To store for later, wrap each popsicle well with waxed paper, and then put in freezer baggies.

I love that these are made with coconut milk- I always have it on hand! These look very tasty, and I’ve already located my popsicle molds. 🙂
You’re ahead of the game 🙂
What a fantastic idea! Saving this for the summer season.
I really need to invest in a popsicle mold! Loving the whole cookie in these 🙂
Girl, you are the Popsicle Queen! I love coconut milk popsicles and ice cream. Oh joy, rapture. Definitely pinning these babies to share. 🙂 Thank you for gearing us up for summer with these beautiful pops!
Dear Sue, this is right up my alley. I love homemade ice cream. The coconut milk/cream is a wonderful and delicious idea. Pinning to try. xo, Catherine
Looks amazing, can I make, not as a Popsicle but still as an individual portion, perhaps in a muffin tin (silicon)? Thanks
I don’t see why not, but it will be very hard, like a Popsicle.
This is so creative! Love the use of the coconut milk and what a great presentation with the cookie inside. Fun and delicious!
Thanks Monica, the coconut milk got rave reviews from my recipe testers (aka daughter and her boyfriend!)
I just saw my popsicle mold as I was looking in my cookie cutter box yesterday but the season seemed so far off. Now you’ve got me wanting to pull that box out again! These are, hands down, the most fun popsicles I’ve ever seen! Pinning!
It’s so warm already here, Chris, I don’t think I ever put my mold away 🙂
You are amazing Sue! I was just thinking about your Popsicles and wondered when we would see another fantastic recipe! You must do a cookbook filled with your creative and beautiful pops and I’ll need an autographed copy please. Who wouldn’t just love this!!! Have a wonderful weekend.
thanks Tricia <3
Oh boy these look so yummy! I bought popsicle molds last summer and never got around to opening the package. I ordered them from Amazon, they are made of silicone, (I think) and have the stick included, will they work for this recipe? I would love to make them.
This should work fine with all molds…you’re going to have fun, but watch out, it’s addicting!
