What are Coffee Popsicles?

Coffee popsicles! What are they? Well, coffee popsicles are, simply put, coffee that has been frozen into popsicle form. The perfect summer treat/pick me up!

These frozen treats are made with coffee, cream, and sugar, and they’re the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. Coffee popsicles are becoming increasingly popular, and there are now many different flavors available. Whether you prefer a classic coffee flavor or something more adventurous, there’s sure to be a coffee popsicle style that’s right for you.

Coffee Popsicle Ingredients

You’ll only need four ingredients for these delicious treats. Here’s what you need:

• Coffee– I use cold brew coffee, but you can use any coffee that you prefer. 
• Heavy cream– If you don’t have heavy cream, you can make your own. To make 1 cup of heavy cream, mix 2/3 cup of whole milk with 1/3 cup melted butter.
• Sugar– Use regular white sugar. I use 6 tablespoons, but you can use more or less depending on your preference. 

You also need water to make the coffee before turning it into popsicles.

How to Make Coffee Popsicles

This recipe is quick and easy to whip up, but you’ll need to allow several hours for them to freeze in the freezer. Follow the steps below.

Step 1: Brew the Coffee

First, brew your coffee with the ground coffee and water. You can also brew it in your coffee pot if you choose. 

Step 2: Add Sugar and Cream

Add 5 tablespoons sugar and 1/4 cup of heavy cream into the brewed coffee. Place coffee in the fridge to chill for 1-2 hours.

Step 3: Microwave the Cream

Microwave the remaining cream for 30-45 seconds. You want the cream to be warm but not hot. Stir in the remaining sugar. This will help dissolve the sugar to make the popsicles smooth and not gritty.

Step 4: Put Cream in Popsicle Mold

Next, add 1 ½ tablespoons of the warmed cream and sugar mixture to each popsicle mold. Divide the rest equally. 

Step 5: Freeze the Cream

After you’ve divided the cream mixture, place the mold in the freezer for 1-2 hours until the cream mixture is frozen. 

Step 6: Add Coffee Mixture

Once the cream mixture is  frozen, pour chilled coffee over the cream to fill each slot. Add the top and place sticks in.

Step 7: Freeze Popsicles

Finally, place the popsicle molds in the freezer for 4-6 hours or until you have popsicles. 

Remove and enjoy a cool boost of caffeine on a hot summer day.

Can you make popsicles out of coffee?

Yup! You sure can! Coffee pops are a great way to use up leftover coffee or even cold brew coffee. You can also use your favorite creamer instead of the heavy cream, making these popsicles even easier!

What Size Popsicle Mold Do I Need?

This recipe will make 10 regular sized popsicles. So, we used a 10-slot popsicle mold. You can make them bigger or smaller if you choose. This is the popsicle mold that we use and love.

How Do You Store Coffee Popsicles?

Once they’re frozen, coffee popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to two months. However, they’re best eaten within a week or two of being made. You can store them right in the popsicle mold or place them in a plastic bag and seal it tight.

Do Coffee Popsicles Melt Quickly? 

Yes, coffee popsicles melt quickly. So, if you’re planning on eating them outdoors on a hot day, be sure to keep them in a cooler or eat them quickly!

Does a coffee flavored popsicle have caffeine?

Yes! These coffee popsicles do have caffeine in them. You can change the level of caffeine by using different types of coffee. Want more caffeine in them? Use espresso. Want less? Try them with decaf!
