Key Ingredients You Need
- Mango — You can use fresh or frozen mango for these popsicles. When buying mangos, look for mangos that feel heavy for their size and are smooth with unblemished skin.
- Honey — To add extra sweetness to the mango popsicles. If you don’t want to use honey, you can swap for maple syrup.
How to Make Mango Popsicles
Step 1: Cut the mango and scoop out the flesh.
Step 2: Add the mango to the blender.
Step 3: Add water to the blender.
Step 4: Add honey to the blender.
Step 5: Blend until smooth.
Step 6: Pour the mixture into the popsicle mold. Freeze for at least 3 hours.
Tips For This Recipe
- You can add diced mango to the popsicle mold if you enjoy chunks of fruit in your popsicles. It’s a nice change in texture!
- Swap Greek yogurt for water for a creamier popsicle.
- Sometimes mangos can be difficult to pick. I always grab an extra mango or two just in case the first one I cut into isn’t sweet. Make my mango salsa with any extra mangos you have.
- If you use frozen mango chunks for these popsicles, give them some time to thaw before blending.
- If you are having trouble getting the popsicles out of molds, run the mold under warm water for 30 seconds, and the popsicles should slide right out!
Frequently Asked Questions
This depends on how cold your freezer is and the size of your popsicles! Usually, my mango popsicles freeze after 3 hours. If you need these popsicles for a specific day, make them the night before.
These popsicles keep for up to 2 months in the freeze. Keep in mind that popsicle molds don’t tend to be super airtight, so the longer you keep them, the more likely they are to develop freezer burn.
If you do not have a popsicle mold, add the mixture to a plastic wrap-lined loaf pan, cover, and freeze. Halfway through freezing, insert the popsicle sticks about 1 inch apart. Continue to freeze until solid. Remove from the loaf pan and run a knife under hot water before slicing the loaf into slices.
