Does anything scream summer more than the juices of a peach dripping down to your elbows as you sink your teeth into the tender flesh?
How about a roasted peach, popping with so much natural sweetness it hurts your jaw.
I’ve been meaning to try roasted fruit for what feels like years now. Well yesterday after reading about Gina’s roasted strawberries and Averie’s roasted grapes, leaving my mouth seriously watering, I knew it needed to happen. Faster than a marine could get military loans online I was digging out my popsicle mold.
I roasted two peaches until the skin shriveled and the sugars caramelized. My plan was to use both in the popsicle recipe but one went undocumented into my mouth faster than you can say peaches n cream. So unbelievably sweet and succulent, I couldn’t possibly wait for it to be frozen into a popsicle to eat. So I made a desperate late night store run just to have more peaches to photograph with. The life of a food blogger I tell ya.
And if it hasn’t been obvious by my recent popsicle recipe couple with my new pinterest board dedicated to popsicles, I have a new obsession. Popsicles are fun, don’t try to argue it.

Roasted Peaches n’ Coconut Cream Popsicles
I only made 3 popsicles because I ate the other peach before I got around to freezing it, but I’m sharing the original recipe for 6 popsicles. These are a dairy and sugar free treat! Makes 6 3oz. popsicles which may vary depending on your popsicle mold size.
- 2 peaches
- Squeeze of lemon and pinch of salt
- 1 can (14oz) Coconut Milk (light or full fat)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Slice peaches into wedges, sprinkle with lemon juice and a touch of sea salt. Place in the oven and roast for about 25 minutes until they are beginning to caramelize. Remove from oven and dice into smaller pieces.
Whisk together (or blend) the coconut milk and vanilla extract. Pour the coconut milk into the popsicle molds to fill them about half way. Stick in the freezer and allow to set for 30 minutes.
Remove molds and drop in the peaches. Try and evenly distribute the peaches into the popsicles. They should be full of peaches. Top off the popsicles with the remaining coconut milk until just about all the way to the top. Stick a popsicle stick in each and freeze for another 2-3 hours. Once frozen remove the mold and you may have to run the base under warm water to remove them, depending on your popsicle mold.

Have you tried grilling or roasted fruit yet? What’s your favorite ripe summer fruit?
OMG OMG OMG I have to buy some popsicle thingys to make these! They sound like the perfect summer treat!
If I mail you a bunch of ice packs will you send one to Pittsburgh?
make it dry ice and I’d be glad to
I adore grilled veggies but never would have thought to roast fruit. Totally doing it!
I haven’t tried roasted fruit yet but being that fruit is my favorite food group ever… I may need to jump on the wagon! Goodness gracious, these sound amazing. Adding them to my summer bucket list
With the last recipe and now this, I def need a Popsicle mold… since it’s summer, I think it’s only fitting, thanks for being my excuse.
Really beautiful photos!
thank you and it was a fun investment to make. Lots of experiments going on over here.
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW I cannot wait to indulge in these!
Just pinned. They look AMAZING! I was trying to find your Pinterest name (so many combinations and it wouldn’t auto-populate the field and you don’t have icons on your site with your pinterest name so I guessed @katiekdid ) anyhooo….I cannot believe you read my post and Gina’s, grilled fruit, made a FROZEN treat, photographed it and got the post up in like 12 hours…you’re SPEED WOMAN! I love the looks of these!
yup you guessed right, its actually one of the links under my picture on the sidebar on my blog. But either way, thanks
And yes I made these late last night and got up super early to photograph them! I tend to move quickly when I’m this excited about a recipe haha.
you would.
haha yes I would. I’ll try to lay off the pop recipes for a bit to not overwhelm people. Lots more ideas though
Bookmarking this! And now I need to get some popsicle molds. Otherwise, I may have to resort to ice cube trays.
dixie cups work in a pinch too! mini popsicles are just as tasty.
Keep the popsicle recipes coming!
I cannot wait to try this!! As the weather gets warmer, I’m craving sweet, frozen desserts more and more. This will definitely help with that! Thanks!
Slow down with all these awesome recipes! Ah! I’m planning to make your carrot Popsicles tonight and absolutely LoVED the guacamole. Next up? Peaches I guess!
I liked the peach ones better than the carrot cake… but the carrot ones were interesting and more savory, depends what you prefer! So glad you gave the guac a try
another BRILLIANT popsicle recipe! Thank ya ma’am. I gots to go try
I have been meaning to try roasted fruit for so long and haven’t gotten around to it, so this looks like the perfect excuse!! I LOVE peaches!
just finished roasting strawberries tonight too and they were absolutely fabulous if you happen to have those on hand. So much natural sweetness and juices its unreal.
Sounds like a perfect idea! And good thing too — I have a gallon of strawberries hanging out in my fridge.
These sound incredible. I love roasting stone fruits in the summer, but mixing them with coconut milk in a popsicle? Whoa! Mind blown.
This is beyond cool! Combining the amazing sweetness of roasting fruit with a frozen dessert is pure genius. Thanks for sharing, I’m definitely bookmarking this.
I just made these and am waiting for them to freeze! Can’t wait to try them =) I added roasted blackberries because I didn’t have a 2nd peach. I’m about to make your carrot almond butter ones too. Love your recipes!
I hope you love them as much as I did! Can’t believe you already made them, that makes me so happy
these look amazing – I never would have thought to combine peaches & coconut!
Oh LORDY these look phenomenal! Why the heck don’t I have a popsicle mold yet!?
dixie cups always work too!
oh man, this looks great! I have not had a popsicle in a long time!
whoa! those look so good! this might be a good excuse to get a popsicle mold…
You are so creative! I am totally inspired to make my own popsicles now.
Katie, these are so beautiful! I’ll buy your cookbook, by the way:)
haha wouldn’t that be a dream! thanks sarah
Oh my gosh, that sounds so yummy!!!!!! I totes want to make my own popsicles.
Oh I love roasted fruit… nectarines especially – I made a recipe for a virtual vegan potluck with roasted peaches, vanilla (vegan) labneh and a balsamic toffee syrup… yummo
You’ve totally inspired me for popsicle making!
I happen to have nectarines on hand now too, must try that out soon. Even just as a snack, roasting fruit is my new favorite way to enjoy it.
I roasted grapes a while back and am now more than eager to start roasting fruit again! These popsicles are genius!
I can’t think of anything more perfect right now! Nothing screams summer louder than peaches – at least to my tastebuds. Can’t wait to make these. Pinned
Oh my goodness, Katie! These look amazing! I have been planning on trying to roast some strawberries (but I end up eating them so fast I never get around to it!). I have never roasted any fruit, but now I feel like I must! The peaches look divine! I am going to have to buy extra fruit so I save some to grill!
I also love another way to use coconut milk–YUM!
I’m making these right now but I’m adding raspberries too! I love love love raspberries so I couldn’t resist throwing them in!
oh that sounds even better, let me know how they come out with the raspberries!
I have never roasted fruit! I must try that!!
You’re a beautiful writer. Really capture food in it’s sensuality and i can almost taste everything you describe. Joy to read. Keep up the good work!
Okay, now I HAVE to try roasted peaches. Not want to try, have to try! These popcicles look so good, Katie! Love your photos!
These photos are so beautiful!
these look delish, but about the coconut cream photo…can you tell me how you got yours to be soooo thick and creamy (like the photo), coconut milk in can is not that creamy and rather “watery”. Did you use something else to get it to that thickness as in the photo?
It’s the thai kitchen brand, full fat, and after refrigerating it overnight, half of it was practically solid. This has happened once or twice to me before, but some other brands just don’t thicken quite the same. Try different brands, and try refrigerating it for a while to see if it will thicken for you too.
How much calories are these? They look delicious but I’m trying to decide what time of day is best for me to eat them and with what (: Thanks for posting this easy recipe!
hmmm its a little under a 1/4th cup of canned coconut milk, so that plus the peaches maybe about 100-120 calories each. It will depend on the size of your popsicle mold though. anytime of day!
Would this work in an ice cream maker? Would I have to do anything different? I look forward to making this!
These look awesome and I can’t wait to give them a try. One of my biggest crowd pleasers is grilled peaches served with mascarpone into which I’ve mixed a little vanilla. Then drizzle everything with a little honey. I’m thinking the mascarpone might work in place of the coconut milk and then drizzle the popsicle with honey. Thanks for posting this. I can’t wait to experiment!
that sounds incredible steve! marscapone is delicious in sweets.
I literally just finished eating one of these. I made them last night. I used light coconut milk and added a few teaspoons of cinnamon, and I roasted up some strawberries (dusted with sugar instead of the lemon and salt, which I did use for the peaches) in addition to the peach.
Absolutely delightful. It was so satisfying when I bit off a chunk of fruit. I was worried that the coconut milk wasn’t going to be sweet enough, but it was just right.
I can’t believe I never roasted fruit before. Now I’m a little worried I won’t be able to eat it any other way!
sounds incredible with the mix of fruit and yes you may become addicted to roasting fruit, it’s literally 50 times more sweet and delicious. So happy you liked these as much as I did!
These popsicles are gorgeous, Katie! I roasted a bunch of berries the other day and loved the results. I’d love to roast more fruit but it’s just too hot to turn on the oven! If and when a cool day comes around, I’m roasting peaches!
Recently I’ve taken up eating Greek Yogurt and Peaches for breakfast. It’s quick, tasty, and really helps me not have heartburn which is a pain right now. I was thinking about it though and remembering this post – I wonder how tasty it would be to roast up some peaches and mix them with greek yogurt. It’d probably be pretty tasty. Another good one could be roasted or fried apple slices in ghee/butter and covered in Cinnamon. MMMMMMmmm tasty.
