A simple iced coffee and milk treat in a popsicle for the lazy days of summer.
Popsicles
Every afternoon throughout the lazy days of summer, I find myself looking for a little Caffeine Kiss to finish out my workday.
And so, I created a little something to “Kiss the Spot”!
Mocha Popsicles
A perfectly brewed cup of coffee, nutrient rich raw cacao, something to sweeten the pot, and a heavy dose of coconut milk, or milk of your choice.
Freeze this ‘would be’ winter time hot drink, in summertime and you’ve got the perfect afternoon kiss of caffeine.
Latte For Summer?
Don’t forget how refreshing an iced cold popsicle tastes on a hot July afternoon, only these are relatively healthy, so long as you use a sweetener low in calories and a light milk is used.
Coconut milk is used in this recipe but a low fat dairy milk can be used, or really boost the nutrients in this summertime latte and use oat milk!

- Coffee
- Cacao
- Sweetener
- Salt
- Coconut milk or milk of choice
Equipment Needed

I believe the table... that place that draws people to gather, is the most powerful symbol of togetherness. All that happens before the table is set, the planning, the gathering, the preparing, are all an intricate part of the dance that create the mood of celebration to share with friends and loved ones.
