Limber de coco or coconut ice pops are creamy and delicious. In Puerto Rico, limber de coco is traditionally made in small plastic cups. Once frozen, you flip the ice pop upside down and place it back in the cup to make it easier to eat. These coconut ice pops are the perfect frozen treat to enjoy during summer. In Puerto Rico’s tropical climate, limber is enjoyed all year round.

Why is it called limber de coco?
Limber got its name from pilot Charles A. Lindbergh, who landed on the island in 1928. According to locals, Lindbergh was greeted with a frozen juice that later was referred to as limbers. Limber is how many in Puerto Rico pronounce the pilot’s name.
Limber comes in many different flavors but limber de coco is my favorite! The ingredients are simple and once you put everything together it tastes magical. Creamy coconut milk combines with sweet cream of coconut, coconut water, coconut flakes, vanilla and also cinnamon for a beautiful fusion of flavors.
Limber de coco ingredients:
- Leche de coco
- Leche evaporada

How to make limber de coco?
To a blender, add all ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour mixture into plastic cups. Sprinkle with coconut flakes on top, if desired. Cover with lids and place in the freezer. After about 2 hours, add popsicle sticks, if using.
If you want to make popsicles, I personally like this silicone popsicle tray because it’s super easy to remove the popsicles once they freeze. If you also have interest in some of my other favorite kitchen items, check out my Amazon storefront!
Freeze for at least 6-8 hours or overnight. The size of what you use to make the ice pops will determine how long they take to freeze. Serve and enjoy. ¡Buen provecho!
