Main Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Prepare the Mangoes: Peel and dice ripe mangoes, ensuring they are soft and juicy to bring out the best natural sweetness and smooth blending texture.
- Blend the Ingredients: Combine mango chunks, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, vanilla extract if using, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend until silky smooth to achieve a creamy and uniform texture.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or lime juice as desired to balance the creamy sweetness with citrus brightness.
- Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, smoothing the surface to avoid air bubbles. Insert the sticks and cover the molds for freezing.
- Freeze: Freeze the molds for at least 6 hours or overnight until the popsicles are fully set and firm.
Notes
- Choose ripe mangoes for the best flavor and texture, as sweeter and softer mangoes improve the popsicles.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier texture similar to tropical creamy desserts.
- Mix well before serving; let popsicles sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier removal.
- Avoid over-sweetening since mangoes are naturally sweet—taste before adding extra sweeteners.
- Blend ingredients thoroughly and minimize air exposure during freezing to prevent ice crystals.
