Limber de Bizcocho (Cake Ice Pops)

Limber de bizcocho are delicious ice pops made with milk and cake. They are topped with rainbow sprinkles for a festive touch. This frozen treat has a similar flavor profile as tres leches. If creamy desserts are your vibe, you’ll definitely love limber de bizcocho!

In Puerto Rico, limber is traditionally made in small plastic cups. Once frozen, you flip the ice pop upside down and place it back in the cup to make it easier to eat. I like adding a popsicle stick to make them easier to hold while eating. You could also use a popsicle mold to make popsicles or paletas.

What is limber?

What is a limber, anyway? Limber got its name from pilot Charles A. Lindbergh, who landed on the island in 1928. According to locals, Lindbergh was greeted with a frozen juice that later was referred to as limbers. Limber is how many in Puerto Rico pronounce the pilot’s name. 

Limber comes in many different flavors. Among the most popular are coconut, passion fruit, tamarind, cherry, and peanut. I recently made a morir soñando limber which was a hit on social media!

Limber de bizcocho ingredients:

• Condensed milk
• Evaporated milk
• Milk
• Cake
• Sugar
• Vanilla extract
• Cake batter extract
• Sprinkles

How to make limber de bizcocho?

To a blender, add all ingredients except the cake and sprinkles and mix until well combined. Don’t skip the cake batter extract. This is low-key the star of the show! Add about 7-8 cubes of pound cake and blend until smooth. Reserve the rest of the cake to garnish the limber cups. Then skim excess foam from the top of the limber mixture with a large spoon.

Pour mixture into plastic cups and add a cube of cake and sprinkles on top. I like using these 5 ounce cups with lids.

Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Serve and enjoy. ¡Buen provecho!

Pro Tip:

Make creamy limber ice cubes and add them to your iced latte, cold brewed coffee, coquito, or horchata!
