Limber de Coco (Coconut Popsicles) is creamy, coconut ice typically made in plastic cups. In my version, I am making the traditional limber de coco recipe but using a popsicle tray to make coconut popsicles, also known as paletas de coco.
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.
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.
How to make limber de coco?
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.
Pour this delicious mixture into cups, ice trays or a popsicle tray and place in the freezer for 6-8 hours or overnight. The size of what you use to make the popsicles will determine how long they take to freeze.
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!
