I’ve been whipping up my sugar-free Keto Mojito Popsicles for the boys all summer. This 4-ingredient popsicle recipe is a breeze to make. All you need is lime juice, mint leaves, stevia, and water. If you’re not a fan of stevia this Mojito Popsicle recipe will likely work with a tablespoon or two of maple syrup or honey.
Sugar-Free Popsicle Recipe
I haven’t tried making this sugar-free popsicle recipe with those types of unrefined sweeteners because I’ve been following a Keto Diet since 2014. Have you seen my Keto Diet Recipes page? It’s full of keto dinners, snacks, drinks, and best of all, keto desserts!
Keto Popsicle Recipe Sweetened with Stevia
I use stevia to sweeten my keto dessert recipes. Sometimes though stevia doesn’t taste quite right in a recipe. That’s not the case here. My testers, the boys and their friends, ate batch after batch of these sugar-free popsicles and had no idea they were eating a keto snack. In fact, when I took the photo above, they kept asking if I was done yet so that they could have more Mojito Popsicles.

Keto Mojito Popsicles Recipe Spiked with Rum
Some of you may be wondering about adding rum to this sugar-free Mojito Popsicle recipe. That sounds mighty good to me. However, I haven’t had a drink for more than a decade, since part of my treatment for multiple sclerosis is focusing on nutrient-dense foods. Because of this, I’m not sure how much to add to the recipe, and also unsure if it would freeze well. If you do spike your Keto Mojito Popsicles with rum, please leave a comment to let us know how they turn out!

Sheila Perl says
I made your Mojito popscicles and I used 2 Tbs of maple syrup instead of the stevia (my stomach does not like stevia) well they were’nt sweet enough for my husband but I thought they were tangy and tasty!
I was really hot and thirsty and I thought, “what if I put that lovely Mojito popscicle into my carbonated water?!”
WOW!! I love it and the popscicles look so cute floating around in my glass!!! :)
Elana says
Sheila, so glad you enjoyed!
Sally Cheung says
What a great idea! I think I might try making these as ice cubes and use them with carbonated water for an ice cold drink. :)
Christina says
Made these a couple of times…they are delicious! But the lime juice seems to concentrate on the bottom instead of dispersing evenly throughout. Tried freezing to a slush then stirring but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts?
Elana says
Hi Christina, we love these popsciles and haven’t encountered this issue. If you find a solution though, we’d love to know about it :-)
Toni says
I am so glad I found this site…I have PCOS, and my doctor has put me on a grain and (mostly) dairy free diet. It feels like somewhere between Paleo and Low carb…you have such wonderful recipes here that I can choose from without deviating from this diet. I am so glad because I love bread and have such a sweet tooth :).
Bless you!
Elana says
Thanks Tori!

Wren Tidwell says
What is your favorite brand of stevia and is it a powder or liquid that you use in this recipe?
Elana says
Hi Wren, if you click on the green words in the ingredients portion of the recipe you will get all of that info :-)
Danelle says
For the sugar fans, I use simple syrup in my liquid mojitos, and I’m sure it would work well for this recipe. Equal parts sugar and water, heated til dissolved or farther to a syrup consistency, and cooled. I’m not a personal fan of using anything that isn’t clear in a mojito – it visually tarnishes the look and I’m sure it’s all in my mind that it also affects the taste! I even prefer white cane sugar over raw or other alternative preparations of sugar.
Sad,. but true for me!
I will be trying these popsicles this weekend!!
Elana says
Thanks Danelle!
Judy says
You could use a natural rum extract so that it would freeze. I think I would start with a half-teaspoon because you are only dealing with 2 1/2 cups of fluid.
Elana says
Judy, thanks!

oooh, that sounds like a great idea and I even have some! This whole recipe sounds great!!
