Why should the kids have all the fun?! These Piña Colada Popsicles are a special boozy summer treat for all the adults at your next summer soirée!
Today’s post is not a sponsored post. I just wanted to share my favorite summer Caribbean Rum with you guys, because it’s something I really enjoy and I think you will too. And when I had the chance to be a part of Popsicle Week, organized by Billy from Wit and Vinegar (thanks Billy!!), I wanted to share a boozy little treat that’s always a true hit with all the adults at the party.
One of my favorite summer cocktails has always been Malibu and pineapple juice. It just screams summah, and it’s incredibly refreshing! I mean who can resist the winning combo of sweet pineapple and tropical coconut? Surely not me! And clearly you all like it too! My recipe for Chocolate Dipped Pineapple Slices with Toasted Coconut from a Simple Saturday way back was a HUGE hit!
So turning my favorite cocktail into a popsicle seemed like a great idea! And dipping them in chocolate and sprinkling them with toasted coconut chips…even better!! These are perfect for the 4th! Enjoy!
P.S. Take a peek to the right → for some other yummy frozen treats that are perfect for keeping cool this summer!
- 2 cups fresh pineapple cubed
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Malibu rum
- Chocolate Dip:
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp. coconut oil
- toasted coconut chips for garnish
-
To a blender, add pineapple, coconut milk, sugar, and rum. Puree until smooth.
-
Pour mixture into molds. Insert sticks. Freeze until solid, about 6 hours.
-
For the chocolate dip: Combine the chocolate chips and oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second intervals until melted and smooth. Cool slightly before dipping.
-
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
To unmold the popsicles, run some hot water over the outsides of the molds, then pull to release the popsicles. Dip the top of each popsicle in melted chocolate and place on prepared sheet. Sprinkle with toasted coconut chips. Place tray in freezer until chocolate hardens.
-
The amount of popsicles will depend on the size of your molds.
We are moving today, but this popped into my inbox and I had to stop by (from my phone so excuse any typos) to comment!! SO gorgeous and I love the flavor, Mary Ann! I think I missed the original posting of these, so thanks for posting them again!! Pinned of course! Cheers, friend!
This is the first time I’ve posted these Chey. I hope you give them a go because they’re delicious! I hope the move goes well! So exciting! Perhaps once you’re moved in you can whip these up to celebrate! They’re delicious even without the chocolate!
Oh yes! Adult popsicles are the best and when they are pretty and pina colada, they are perfect :)

They’re quite refreshing Chris! I have been known to indulge in one too many!
Adult popsicles need to become a staple this summer! These look awesome.
Yes! Why should the kids have all the fun Nicole?!
This screams summer to me. Love adult popsicles! Happy weekend to you!
Thanks Karen! It’s all about having fun in the summertime!
Ummm these are everything. SUCH a perfect summer treat!
Thanks guys! They’re so refreshing for that hot summer weather!
I think I would make these for a party but probably end up having to double the recipe, because I’d eat an entire batch! I love pina coladas!! This would be such a fun treat for adults after a bbq. Loving this!! Yay popsicle week! :)
Thanks Katherine! I’d go with a double batch too!
These are SOOO fun! Love them!
Thanks Tieghan!
Those look so crazy good. A perfect summer treat.
Thanks Alida! So refreshing!
Love this summer, boozy treat, can’t wait to try!
Hope you enjoy them too Matt!
I absolutely LOVE having pops on hand when the temps start going up. Sharing them is SO fun too! I mean, who doesn’t love to be given a popsicle on a hot summer day (especially boozy)!!? And I looove the flavor profile of these boozy pops. Such a tasty treat and fun way to get the holiday weekend going!
Me too Traci! So fun to make and eat! Happy 4th!
Such a great idea Mary Ann!!!
I had so much fun making these Lindsay!
Nothing brings you to that tropical state of mind like Malibu, the best! I would love to be kicking back with one of these on this hot day!
I know right?! It takes me right to the tropics!
Well these look absolutely delicious! I’m swooning over that coconut studded chocolate dip!
You’d love these Marissa! Hope you try them!
These look amazing! And you are so right….why should the kids have all the fun? I’ll have to label these so they don’t try to sneak a snack! :)
Thanks Kathy! Yes, definitely!
So fun, Mary Ann! These boozy tropical pops are just what my weekend needs! :)
The tropical flavors are sooo good Laura! Happy 4th!
These pops look perfect for a hot summer day!!! I can’t wait to try this recipe!! xoxo
They’re so refreshing! And the Malibu gives them a nice kick! Enjoy and Happy 4th Rebecca!
Mary Ann, I saw this picture on Instagram and if I had a hat I would have taken it off to you – SO beautiful, and I know how hard it is to photograph anything frozen! And boy do I wish I had one of these right this minute. Pinning and happy Fourth!
Awww, thanks so much Kate! I loved photographing these! I actually turned up the AC really high that day, so melting wouldn’t be a huge issue! Happy 4th to you too!
These look absolutely positively delicious Mary Ann. I used to drink Malibu rum when I was a wee bit younger. . .but have since been enjoying tequila or vodka-based drinks. These beauties are reminding me that I shouldn’t forget about my old friend Malibu. That said, I think I would much rather enjoy them in these divine popsicles versus a same ol’ same ol’ cocktail.
Can never forget an old friend Lynn! Malibu rum always takes me to the tropics!
These are so fun. I think while I am eating these, I might have flashbacks to my younger days of going out dancing with friends! This flavor combination is fantastic.
I know, me too Cindy! Takes me back to my days in college and right after! Malibu and rum was my favorite back then too!
Rum girl here ~ AND a popsicle girl ~ and a coconut girl, and chocolate girl…oh wow, these need to happen here soon ;)
You’re going to LOVE these Sue!
MaryAnn I have to admit we never got to the chocolate dip. One bite just to taste and we just couldn’t resist.
These are amazing! Now I need to figure out what to do with the chocolate. Hahahaha!
So happy you all enjoyed them Kathy! Just dip fresh pineapple in the chocolate! That’s a favorite here too!
I have been thinking about these pops since I saw them on Instagram! I absolutely love these flavors and cannot wait to make them! Hope you all had a great 4th!
I really hope you enjoy them Tessa! We had a great 4th. Hope you did too!
Hi, is that 1/2 cup of sugar? Or some other measurement? Also, are you using coconut milk that comes in cans or the new type that is in a box in the chilled section? Ta.
Hi Jena! That’s 1/2 cup granulated sugar. I used Goya coconut milk from a can. Enjoy!
