☕🍫 Carnivore Coffee Popsicles

These creamy, coffee-flavored popsicles are the perfect frozen treat for anyone on a carnivore or keto lifestyle. Made with rich mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and a hint of cocoa, they’re indulgent, refreshing, and contain zero added sugar. Think of them as a cross between an iced latte and a cheesecake — frozen on a stick!

• Can store in freezer for up to 2 weeks in an airtight bag or container.

❓ Q/A

Q: Can I make this without milk?
A: Yes! Replace milk with more heavy cream for a thicker, richer popsicle.

Q: Do they taste like cheesecake?
A: Yes, the mascarpone gives them a creamy, cheesecake-like flavor with a coffee kick.
