Limber de Kahlúa (Kahlúa Ice Pops)

Limber de Kahlúa are delicious ice pops made with milk, cream, and coffee flavored liqueur. Limber ice pops originate in Puerto Rico and are enjoyed year-round on the island. This frozen treat has a similar flavor profile as limber de leche but with coffee added to the mix. If a creamy cafécito con leche is your vibe, you’ll definitely love limber de Kahlúa!

In Puerto Rico, limber 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. I like adding a popsicle stick to make them easier to hold while eating. You could also use a popsicle mold to make popsicles or paletas.

What is limber?

What is a limber, anyway? 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. Among the most popular are coconut, passion fruit, tamarind, cherry, and peanut. I recently made a limber de piña colada and a morir soñando limber which was a hit on social media!

Limber de Kahlúa ingredients:

  • Kahlúa
  • Condensed milk
  • Evaporated milk
  • Milk
  • Instant coffee

How to make limber de Kahlúa?

To a blender, add all ingredients and mix until well combined. Skim excess foam from the top with a large spoon.

Pour mixture into plastic cups and cover the cups with lids. I like using these 5 ounce cups with lids. It’s important to cover the limber to keep its flavor fresh. Place in the freezer and freeze for about 1-2 hours. When it’s halfway frozen, place a popsicle stick in the center, (if using sticks).

Place back in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Enjoy!

Pro Tip:

Make creamy limber ice cubes and add them to your iced latte, cold brewed coffee, coquito, or horchata!
