No, creamier! Creamier!!!

Can't find my favorite coconut popsicles, I'm a butt and don't like any other inferior coconut popsicles. Can any coconut popsicle enthusiasts help me find their equal near me?

The best coconut popsicles on the planet are Fruttare Coconut & Milk popsicles, for their creaminess and the little bits of coconut in them and their exactly correct amount of sweetness. And did I mention they are very creamy?

I used to live in Northern Michigan (points to tip of pinky) and buy them from Meijer. Five years later, I live in Southern Oregon and can't find them anywhere.

Can anyone else who loves the Fruttare Superior Creamy Popsicles point me to another brand that's as good? Anyone in Southern Oregon familiar with their goodness and know an equal? Or just where to find them?

I'm craving them because I'm sick (just regular sick) and don't really have the spoons to make my own and own no popsicle molds and it honestly sounds like such a chore... But I'll consider a homemade recipe as a last resort and if you for real seriously consider it really that good.

Thank you fine people.

Best answer: JonnyPops! Mpls based and so very good. The website says you can get them at Target or Safeway in Oregon.

Best answer: Whole Foods' Coconut Fruit Bars are delicious and creamy and have little bits of coconut in them. I haven't had the ones you linked so I can't compare them, but maybe these will hit the spot.

Try Fred Meyer’s for Outshine Coconut Frozen Fruit Bars! Hopefully a good substitute!

I love Helados Mexico Ice Cream Bar, Premium but it might be to sweet for you. I don't think they are overly sweet. Definately creamy .

Don't remember brand names but coconut is a popular flavor in Indian markets. If there's one near you, look for kulfi bars. Other flavors usually include mango, cardamom and pistachio. Hope you find some good ones and feel better!

I used to LOVE frozfruit in the 80s. Not sure if it's still around.

Try a Mexican grocery store.

I also enjoy coconut ice cream bars, so I tried all the brands I could get my hands on this week. My favorite one is the 7-Select Fresa Paleta, which is a private brand from 7-Eleven. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to find information about it online, so that may not bode well for your chances of finding some near you. The Helados bars mentioned by AlexiaSky above are almost as good and probably easier to find.

I was underwhelmed by the Outshine bars and the O Organics bars (the Safeway store brand). Neither of them were very creamy, and the coconut chunks were smaller and sparser than the ones in the Helados and 7-Select bars.
