    What are Mango Popsicles?

    Mango popsicles are frozen treats made with ingredients like frozen mangoes, a sweetener like sugar, and water or other liquids. They are a popular dessert during the summer months and are loved for their refreshing and fruity flavor. They’re also commonly referred to as mango pop or mango ice pops!

    One of the main reasons why mango popsicles are so good is because of their natural sweetness. Mangoes are naturally sweet and have a unique tropical flavor that is loved by many. When blended into a puree and frozen, this sweetness is intensified, making the popsicles a delicious and guilt-free treat.

    Plus, mangoes are a good source of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C and vitamin A. They are also rich in dietary fiber, which can aid in digestion and promote a healthy gut. Therefore, indulging in mango popsicles can be a healthy alternative to other sugary desserts.

    How to Make Mango Popsicles

    Making these incredible mango popsicles is easier than you think. Here's how to make them at home step by step:

    Start by gathering all of your ingredients: frozen mango chunks, coconut milk, water, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

    Take out your blender and add in the frozen mango chunks, coconut milk, water, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

    Secure the lid onto the blender and turn it on to the smoothie setting. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and well combined. Once it is smooth, carefully pour it into your popsicle molds. Make sure to leave a little bit of space at the top of each mold to allow for expansion as they freeze.

    Place the filled popsicle molds into the freezer and let them freeze for about 6 to 8 hours. This will make sure that they are completely frozen and ready to enjoy.

    After the freezing time has passed, remove the popsicle molds from the freezer. To easily remove the popsicles from the molds, you can run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them.

    mango popsicles are incredibly easy to make at home. With just a few ingredients and a popsicle mold, you can have a batch of homemade mango popsicles ready to enjoy in no time.

    Gently pull the popsicles out of the molds and place them onto a plate or a tray. They are now ready to be enjoyed!

    Bursting with sweet and tangy flavors, these pops are the perfect way to beat the summer heat and satisfy your cravings for something cool and fruity. 

    For a full list of ingredients and instructions, see the recipe card below.

    Tips for Making the Best Mango Popsicles

    • Choose ripe mangoes: To guarantee a sweet and flavorful popsicle, select ripe mangoes if you’re going for fresh ones. Make sure that they are slightly soft to the touch. They should have a fragrant aroma and vibrant color.
    • Blend until smooth: For a smooth and creamy texture, blend the mangoes until they are completely smooth. This will make sure that there are no lumps or chunks in the mango puree mixture.
    • Add lime juice: To enhance the flavor of the mangoes, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the popsicle mixture. The acidity of the lime juice will balance out the sweetness of the mangoes and add a refreshing tang.
    • Strain the mixture: After blending the mangoes, strain the mixture to remove any fibrous bits or stringy pieces. This will result in a smoother and more enjoyable popsicle texture.
    • Use popsicle molds: Invest in popsicle molds to make it easier to create uniform and professional-looking popsicles. These molds come in various shapes and sizes, allowing you to get creative with your frozen treats.
    • Insert popsicle sticks: Before freezing the popsicles, insert the popsicle sticks into the molds. This will help in making sure that the sticks are in place and will not fall out when you try to remove the popsicles from the molds.
    • Freeze until firm: Allow the popsicles to freeze until they are firm and completely solid. This will typically take 6-8 hours, depending on the size of the molds and the temperature of your freezer.

    Substitutions and Variations

    This delicious mango popsicles recipe is absolutely perfect as is, but if you're looking to change things up, here are a few variation ideas you can try:

    Mango Substitutes:

    • Peaches - Offer a similar sweetness and texture.
    • Pineapple - Adds a tangy tropical twist.
    • Papaya - A milder tropical fruit that blends well.

    Dairy/Milk Substitutes:

    If the recipe calls for milk, yogurt, or cream:

    • Coconut milk - Adds creaminess and enhances the tropical flavor.
    • Almond milk  - Light and nutty; great for a dairy-free option.
    • Greek yogurt - If a thicker texture is desired (for creamier popsicles).

    Sweetener Substitutes:

    If using honey or sugar:

    • Maple syrup - A natural and vegan-friendly option.
    • Agave nectar - A light, neutral-flavored sweetener.
    • Stevia or monk fruit - For a low-calorie, sugar-free alternative.

    Variations:

    • Lime: Add the juice and zest of one lime to the mango mixture for a tangy and refreshing flavor combination. Blend until smooth, pour into popsicle molds, and freeze as directed. You can also use lemon juice instead.
    • Mango Strawberry: Add ½ cup of sliced strawberries to the mango mixture for a sweet and fruity twist. Blend until smooth, pour into popsicle molds, and freeze as directed.
    • Pineapple: Add ½ cup of diced pineapple to the mango mixture for a tropical and exotic flavor combination. Blend until smooth, pour into popsicle molds, and freeze as directed.
    • Mint Popsicles: Add a handful of fresh mint leaves to the mango mixture for a refreshing and herbaceous twist. Blend until smooth, pour into popsicle molds, and freeze as directed.
