These Pistachio White Chocolate Rum Popsicles are super easy to make. And, with coconut milk and coconut condensed milk, they are lactose-free too. So, if you happen to not be able to tolerate dairy, you can still enjoy these adult popsicles!
We love these popsicles as they are so scrumptious. The combination of real ground pistachios and white chocolate is one hard to resist combo.
While I used coconut milk and coconut condensed milk in this recipe, you could also use this homemade, easy pistachio milk and coconut condensed milk.
I was inspired to make these little adult treats after I came across a foodie event in Atlanta…
When it comes to foodie events, Atlanta is quite the mecca! From themed wine tours to watermelon festivals, to classes on tackling a whole hog, there’s something foodie-related always going on.
And, being on the subject of food-related events, last year, I received an invite to a popsicle and cocktail event. I had just made the move out to Athens and decided to pass on it, only to be told the next day by a friend who attended it that it was a blast!
She then proceeded to send me picture upon picture of all kinds of flavors of non-alcoholic popsicles served IN everything from wine to whisky! The intermingling of the flavors is what she kept raving about.
Now, I’m a huge fan of boozy popsicles – like you might have gathered from these Limoncello popsicles and these Chocolate Bourbon ones. But, I hadn’t ever had any sort of popsicle IN any sort of alcoholic beverage before. Well, I had forgotten all about that popsicle and cocktail event until recently.
Recently, I stumbled on a recipe for a “Tiger’s Milk cocktail”, which consisted of cognac, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, milk, cream, and a pasteurized egg white.
Now, I am a sucker for a creamy cocktail concoction, so this Tiger’s Milk cocktail sure had me intrigued. I decided to head to the grocery store and pick up some ingredients to try out this recipe (or a variation of it), when I stumbled on MALIBU® Caribbean Rum With Coconut Liqueur and JAMESON® Irish Whiskey.
And that gray matter of mine started churning. What if I were to mix these two up with some coconut milk, cinnamon, and sugar and make my twist on that Tiger’s Milk cocktail?
What are the ingredients needed to make this dessert?
For the Pistachio White Chocolate Rum Popsicles you will need:
- ½ cup raw pistachios
- 1 cup full fat coconut milk
- ⅓ cup coconut condensed milk
- ½ cup white chocolate chips or white chocolate chunks
- 3 tbsp MALIBU® Caribbean Rum With Coconut Liqueur
And, for the Tiger’s Milk Cocktail you will need:
- 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup your favorite Caribbean Rum With Coconut Liqueur
- ¼ cup your favorite Irish Whiskey
- ¾ tsp Cinnamon
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ice
So, with ingredients in hand, I went home to do just that. While I was in the middle of experimenting with quantities of each of the ingredients, the thought of that Popsicles and Cocktails event popped into my head, and I figured why not make some popsicles to go with these cocktails?
I had some pistachios and white chocolate on hand, so I decided to whip up the Pistachio White Chocolate Popsicles you see here and spike them with some Caribbean Rum With Coconut Liqueur because boozy popsicles are my jam!
How to make Pistachio White Chocolate Rum Popsicles?
These Pistachio White Chocolate Rum Popsicles are super easy to make. And, with coconut milk and coconut condensed milk, they are pretty much lactose-free as well.
Just mix together:
– Ground up pistachios
– Coconut milk
– Coconut condensed milk
– Melted white chocolate
– Caribbean Rum With Coconut Liqueur
To serve:
• I rimmed the glasses with a bit of melted chocolate and ground-up pistachios.
• I poured my Tiger’s Milk concoction into them and placed a Pistachio White Chocolate Rum Popsicle into them.
As the Pistachio White Chocolate Rum Popsicle melts, it gently flavors the Tiger’s Milk cocktail, and as you make your way to draining that glass, the last few sips (or spoonfuls) are simply delightful!

Yes! You most definitely can make the pistachio white chocolate popsicles without the alcohol and the same goes for the tigers milk.
You can store the pistachio white chocolate popsicles for 2 weeks in the freezer. I like to keep them in a sealed container.
You can use another nut – like walnuts or pecans – to make these popsicles.
Ingredients
Pistachio White Chocolate Rum Popsicles
- ½ cup raw pistachios
- 1 cup full fat coconut milk
- ⅓ cup coconut condensed milk
- ½ cup white chocolate chips or white chocolate chunks
- 3 tbsp your favorite Caribbean Rum With Coconut Liqueur
Tiger’s Milk Cocktail
- 2 cups full fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup your favorite Caribbean Rum With Coconut Liqueur
- ¼ cup your favorite Irish Whiskey
- ¾ tsp Cinnamon
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Ice
Instructions
Pistachio White Chocolate Rum Popsicles
- Add the pistachios to a blender or food processor and pulse until flour-like. Then scoop into a bowl and reserve about 2 tablespoons for rimming the glasses and adding to popsicles.
- Add coconut milk into the bowl with the pistachios and mix well.
- Then add in the coconut condensed milk as well.
- Meanwhile, add the white chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds until it melts. Mix it well and then add it into the bowl with the pistachio coconut milk mix.
- Add in the Caribbean Rum With Coconut Liqueur. Pour the mix into popsicle molds. The mixture should be thick, so add in the popsicle sticks and add a bit of the ground pistachios to the base of the molds. Freeze a couple of hours before serving.
Tiger’s Milk Cocktail
- Mix together the coconut milk, Caribbean Rum With Coconut Liqueur, Irish Whiskey, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large glass bottle or jug. Add in about ½ cup of ice. Stir well. Then, pour into glasses rimmed with white chocolate and pistachios.

Ooh I have never served popsicles in a cocktail – what a fun idea for a summer party!
Wow, these look over the top delicious! I love all of these ingredients, and the pistachios add a nice touch!
Loving the adult popsicles, they look so refreshing and cold + the flavor of Malibu? Indeed I’m down for one.
I love how you made it into Popsicles! It’s so creative and fun!!
Those look divine! And that’s such a cute way to serve the cocktails, I’ll be trying it.

Popsicles and cocktails together? Now that’s an interesting idea! Talk about going in whole hog…haha. Who needs the event when you can make these delicious popsicles/cocktails right at home? I mean you can just start hosting your own event! I know I’d come down for that one…especially if you promised that these would be on the menu. I love Jameson’s, so this would be a favorite I’m sure. Very unique!
I am not so sure about trying Tiger’s Milk but I like the idea of alcoholica popsicles. Something for summer for sure! Just to let you know, I am hosting International Scone Week and it would be great if you could take part: http://tandysinclair.com/international-scone-week-2018/
Gosh…these ice pops look out of this world! All the coconut milk and nuts…I am dying to have one now.
