These healthy strawberry rhubarb popsicles are icy and creamy with coconut milk and fresh strawberries and rhubarb. The perfect summer dessert recipe.
Happy rhubarb season and strawberry season, Rhubarbarians! We are making something a little different with rhubarb today... popsicles! Refreshing, coconutty, strawberry rhubarb pops. Amazing.
A healthy, but classic flavor combo
If you've ever had strawberry rhubarb pie before, you KNOW how great the flavor combo is. But it's usually made with a lot of sugar. Rhubarb needs sweetener to be sweet enough for a dessert, but we made a healthier option for you.
These popsicles are sweetened with coconut milk and honey. The coconut milk adds a lot of sweetness without any added sweetener, so we only had to add 2 tablespoon of honey to the entire batch of popsicles to make these sweet enough. HUZZAH!
More healthy popsicles for ya!

How to make strawberry rhubarb ice pops
- First, get yourself a popsicle mold! This one is my favorite and the one that I use for all of the popsicles on Rhubarbarians.
- Cook down the rhubarb, strawberry, and honey on the stove until everything is very soft and the rhubarb is disintegrating. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- Blend the strawberry rhubarb mixture, coconut milk, and heavy whipping cream in a blender until smooth.
- Fill your popsicle molds with very thinly sliced strawberry and pour the popsicle mixture into the molds.
- Add your popsicle sticks and freeze! Enjoy!

Recipe
Healthy strawberry rhubarb popsicles with coconut milk
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chopped rhubarb (1" pieces)
- 3 ½ cups thinly sliced strawberries, divided
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoon honey
- ½ cup coconut milk fat or coconut cream*
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Bring the 1 ½ cups rhubarb, 2 cups of the strawberries, and the 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the 2 tablespoon honey, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until rhubarb is dissolved. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Blend in a blender until smooth. Add the ½cup of coconut milk fat and the ¼ cup of heavy cream, and blend again until evenly blended.
- Gently fill popsicle molds with remaining sliced strawberries, very loosely filling them with the strawberries. Pour popsicle mixture over strawberries into molds.
- Freeze for ½ hour. Add sticks, then freeze for at least another 4 hours.
- To remove, run popsicle mold under very hot water for about 30 seconds. Carefully pull popsicles out of molds. Store in an airtight container, like a plastic bag, in the freezer for up to 2 weeks for the best quality.

Love this! I'm currently hooked on strawberry ice cream bar popsicles (the Greek yogurt ones from Yasso). But homemade is always always ALWAYS better. I bet the coconut adds the perfect summer vibe-y flavor to it, too. Can't wait to make these! I haven't taken my popsicle mold out yet this summer. Now's the time!
Debra
So perfect for this heat wave we are having. I never buy commercial popsicles because they are so full of junk...so I really appreciate this clean recipe. Rhubarb + Strawberries is one of my favorite combos too.
Jenni LeBaron
Yum! I love having healthy fruit popsicles on hand for summer but I've never thought to add rhubarb. The color and flavor sounds spectacular!
Marisa F. Stewart
You're right, strawberry and rhubarb makes a great combination. I really like the idea of adding the coconut milk along with the regular cream to make the popsicles creamy and flavorful. I know that these treats will be greatly appreciated by our grandsons.
Donna
Yummmo!!! The strawberry, rhubarb and coconut milk here make the perfect combination! Such fun and fresh summer flavours, good for little ones and big ones alike. I love having a flavour the kids and I can both enjoy together
Daniela
Rhubarb and strawberries are such a classic combination! I love the addition of the coconut milk to give these popsicles a fun twist and keep them on the healthier side. I might be tempted to put a tiny bit of rum in them just because 🙂
Sandra Shaffer
These popsicles are my favorite summer treat and so easy to make! Thanks for the tip on picking up coconut cream without emulsifiers. Glad to see that the Trader Joe's brand I use is only made with coconut and water.
Patricia Bozeman
Love the TJ's brand!
Pam Greer

Great flavor combo! But that suggestion of creme fraiche also sounds awesome! Can't wait to try this 🙂
Patricia Bozeman

Thank you Abigail!

These look great! I love that creamy pink color. I'm a maniac for making popsicles in the summertime and it's tough to get that creamsicle consistency (I've totally done a melted vanilla ice cream version). Recently I stirred some creme fraiche into popsicles (those will be on my blog soon) and they have a soft, creamy bite.
Patricia Bozeman
Mmmmmm the creme fraiche sounds awesome!
