    Why this recipe works

    • The recipe is easy to follow. It's as simple as blending a few simple ingredients and waiting for them to freeze. You'll be enjoying these delicious homemade popsicles in no time! Plus all the ingredients can be purchased at the grocery store!
    • Creamy mango popsicles are a great way to enjoy the abundance of mangoes during the summertime. 
    • They're refreshing - especially on a hot day!
    • The recipe is versatile and can be adapted to fit any taste or dietary restriction. ⭐️ Bonus: they're free from any refined granulated sugar.
    • It's flexible. You can play around with your favourite fruits and ingredients and make this ice cream recipe your own! 

    What goes into this recipe

    ingredients to make mango popsicles on a marble table.
    • Mango. - I've used fresh, ripe mangoes; however, frozen mango chunks will work just as well.
    • Coconut Cream. - I'm using coconut cream; however, you can easily sub with full-fat coconut milk or yogurt. 
    • Honey. - I love using honey as it adds a subtle sweetness and complements the mango flavours pretty well.  Sub with agave, maple syrup or even date syrup to make them fully vegan.
    • Vanilla. - Vanilla extract lends a subtle aroma.  You can sub with vanilla paste.
    • Lime. - I love the added freshness and "zing" the lime provides.  I've used fresh lime juice and zest. You can sub with lemon juice.

    Recipe variations

    • Use other types of frozen fruit, such as strawberries, pineapple, bananas or kiwi, with the mango for added flavour.

    How to make this recipe

    • Step 3: Pour the mango mixture into the silicone popsicle mold and place in the freezer for one hour.
    placing popsicle sticks into popsicle molds to freeze.
    • Step 4: When the blended mixture is semi-set, pierce a wooden popsicle stick through the centre of each popsicle. Place back in the freezer and allow the mango popsicles to set for a minimum of 4-6 hours or overnight before serving.
    placing popsicle molds into a bowl of warm water to defrost them.
    • Step 5: To serve the mango popsicles, run the molds under warm water for 10 seconds to set them loose and serve immediately. Alternatively, dip them in a bowl of warm water.

    Expert tips 

    • Use in-season, ripe mangoes for best results.
    • Use a blender or food processor to blend the mango puree until smooth. When poured into popsicle molds, the consistency should be thick enough to not drip down the sides.
    • Use a good quality popsicle mold.  
    • Wash the popsicle molds in hot soapy water and dry them off before using.
    • If you don't have the necessary equipment to make these mango popsicles - consider making mango ice cream instead.  Pour the mango puree into a loaf pan, freeze for up to 4 hours and serve as a delicious dessert.

    FAQ's

    How do I know if my mangoes are ripe?

    The colour changes from green to orange, pink or rose depending on the variety.
    Squeeze them. If they are too soft, the mango is overripe.
    They have an irresistibly sweet aroma.

    What kind of mangoes are best suited to making these popsicles?

    Mexican, Indian, Thai or Australian varieties all work well.

    Can I use canned mango instead of fresh mango? 

    Yes, however, canned mango tends to have more liquid than fresh ones. Therefore, drain the excess liquid before using it.

      Love the mood board for the photos Peter. So wistful 🙂 This is what winter should be. Warm and cozy. Yet, when I look out I see only white on white reflected back here. LOL Love the blue backdrop. Did you make it yourself?

      Popsicles are my favourite summertime treat. I love lime in my popsicles and combined with mango and coconut it sounds like the taste of a tropical holiday.

      When I saw this title I was intrigued even though I don't fancy coconut milk/cream all that much (I love lime though). So I am super thankful for the suggestion of adding Greek Yoghurt. I love it when people who share recipes do that so thank you. But my biggest note of gratitude is for sharing a link to buying the moulds. I have been trying to find some decent ones for a while and surprisingly it's not that easy (or I just don't know where to look). I have just added them to my Amazon cart. Love your work 🙂
