Ingredients

The full recipe and ingredients can be found in the recipe card below this post.

mango popsicle recipe ingredients
  • Frozen mango - Fresh and juicy mangoes can be used instead of frozen mangoes. 
  • Coconut yogurt - sweetened or unsweetened or coconut cream. Greek yogurt is another option for making creamy mango popsicles, but you may need to add extra sugar for flavor.
  • Limes - Freshly squeezed lime juice is best. Orange juice or lemon juice could also be used.
  • Agave Syrup - I’d say these popsicles are low sugar as technically agave has no (refined) sugar but it does have more natural sugar called fructose. Honey, maple syrup, or another sweetener that can be used. You can also make sugar-free fruit popsicles by omiting the sweeteners altogether. Depending on your ripe mango flavor these popsicles can turn out to be still sweet or on the contrary, too bland.

How To Make Mango Popsicles

Add the mango, coconut cream or yogurt, agave, and the juice of 2 limes in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

If your limes are not very juicy, you can add some water to make it a little runnier.

Divide the pureed mango into a popsicle mold and add the popsicle sticks.

Freeze for at least 4 hours.

Tips

  • Frozen mango chunks add to the thickness of these popsicles, but you can use fresh and juicy mangoes instead. 
  • Use a quality blender that blends the ingredients well until completely smooth. This will produce very smooth and creamy popsicles.
  • The sweetened yogurt combined with the sweet mango and agave provides enough sweetness in these popsicles. You can increase the agave syrup or add another sweetener of your choice. 
  • Consider adding shredded coconut to the popsicle mixture for extra flavor and texture. 
  • Using popsicle molds that are easy to fill with secure lids and reusable sticks will create a much easier process for making homemade popsicles. 
  • Freeze these popsicles for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, depending on the temperature of your freezer. The freezing time will also need to be extended when using larger molds. 
  • Run your frozen popsicle molds briefly under warm water for a few seconds until they loosen. Remove them from the mold by gently pulling them by the stick.

Storing Instructions

To Store. Store fruit popsicles in freezer-friendly bags, or airtight containers in the freezer for up to 6 months.

For longer storage, wrap each popsicle individually. Or you can read a beautiful detailed guide about storing homemade popsicles from Baking mischief.

Variations

I love the tropical flavor combinations of mango, coconut, and lime. Here are some other healthy fruit combinations to try when making fresh fruit popsicles:

  • Strawberries and basil leaves
  • Blueberries and lemon
  • Pineapple and mint
  • Raspberry and lime
  • Watermelon and rosemary
  • Peach and ginger
  • Cherry and vanilla
  • Banana and peanut butter
  • Apple and cinnamon
  • Dairy-based combinations, such as peach and cream, strawberry and milk, or banana and yogurt

Other Fun and Creative Ways to Make Popsicles

  • Create delicious fruit layers using different fruits (strawberries, kiwis, and blueberries). Pour each layer into the popsicle mold and allow it to freeze between each new layer.  
  • Get your caffeine fix by making creamy coffee popsicles. Combine freshly brewed coffee with condensed milk, heavy cream, coconut cream, or coconut milk.
  • Combine your favorite brewed tea with agave syrup or honey for herbal tea popsicles. 
  • Turn a green smoothie into a green smoothie popsicle. This could include a mixture of spinach, kale, banana, apple, and almond milk. 
  • Make refreshing lemonade popsicles by freezing your favorite lemonade in popsicle molds with small pieces of watermelon, pineapple, and strawberries. 
  • Make creamy breakfast popsicles combining yogurt and honey. Yum!
  • Fruit pops. Ditch the popsicle mold and freeze chocolate-coated fruit with popsicle sticks inserted into the fruit. Frozen bananas dipped into melted chocolate are a delicious option.

How to Avoid Ice Crystals In Popsicles

Adding sugar to the popsicle mixture helps reduce the formation of ice crystals. Freezing the popsicles at lower temperatures also helps to allow the water molecules in the mixture to distribute evenly instead of forming ice crystals. 

Blending the ingredients into a smooth consistency will also help to reduce ice crystals. Always fill the silicone popsicle mold to the top, as extra space in the mold will allow air pockets to form in the popsicle mixture.
