    Ingredient tips

    Here's everything you'll need for these coconut mango popsicles:

    Ingredients: mango, coconut milk, maple syrup, lime, shredded coconut (optional).

    Mangoes: It's best to use ripe mangoes as they are naturally sweet and most flavorful. You can tell that mango is ripe when it gives slightly when you squeeze it.

    Frozen mango chunks can also be used, but you will want to thaw them so that they blend easily.

    Coconut milk: You want to use full-fat coconut milk to give these popsicles the best texture. Use the type from a can, not a carton.

    Here's how to make these creamy mango popsicles. Full detailed recipe and quantities are in the recipe card at the end of the post.

    Step 1 - Peel and dice the mango. Reserve some mango chunks if you want to add them to the popsicles.

    Step 5 - Cover with a lid, insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 8 hours.

    Step 6 - To unmold, fill a baking pan with hot water. Place the tips of the mold in the hot water for 10 seconds, then remove the popsicles.

    Vicky's top tip!

    Allow room for expansion! The popsicles will expand slightly as they freeze, so leave about ¼ inch of headroom when you fill the molds.

    Substitutions and variations

    As an alternative to maple syrup, you can use agave syrup.

    Lime goes especially well with the flavor of mango. However, you could easily use lemon or orange zest if that's all you have available.

    For a spicy Mexican twist, add 1 tablespoon of Tajin seasoning to the mango mixture.

    Create your own variations on this recipe by switching up the fruits!

    • You can swap out one of the mangoes for 1 cup of strawberries to make strawberry mango ice pops.
    • Or swap one mango for 1 cup of pineapple, kiwi, or papaya chunks for a more tropical vibe!

    Serving

    Serve them as a refreshing dessert or as a midday snack.

    Storage

    To ensure that your homemade popsicles maintain their flavor and texture, it's best to remove them from the mold for longer storage. This will prevent them from picking up other flavors or getting freezer burn.

    Store each mango ice pop in a sealed plastic bag or plastic wrap before storing them in an airtight container in the freezer. They can be stored for up to 1 month using this method.

    Alternatively, and to avoid plastic waste, you can refreeze the popsicles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for around 20 minutes after unmolding them. This will help prevent them from sticking together.

    Once they are refrozen, you can transfer them to an airtight container.

    FAQs

    Can I use light coconut milk instead of full-fat?

    Yes, you can use light coconut milk, but the popsicles may not be as creamy. The higher fat content of full-fat coconut milk helps the popsicles to have a less icy, more biteable texture.

    Equipment

    • Blender
    • Popsicle Mold
    • Popsicle Sticks

    Ingredients 

    • 2 cups (360 g) mango diced, about 2 medium mangoes
    • 1 ¾ cups (400 ml) coconut milk full-fat
    • 4-5 tablespoons (60-75 ml) maple syrup
    • 2 teaspoons lime zest zest of 1 lime
    • 3 tablespoons (20 g) shredded coconut unsweetened, optional

    Instructions

    • Prepare the mango. Peel it and then cut it into chunks. Set aside about ¼ cup or 50g of small mango pieces if you want to have some chunks of fruit in the popsicles.
      2 cups mango
    • Combine the remaining mango, coconut milk, lower quantity of maple syrup and lime zest in a blender and pulse until you have a smooth puree.
      1 ¾ cups coconut milk, 2 teaspoons lime zest, 4-5 tablespoons maple syrup
    • Taste the mixture and add the extra maple syrup to increase the sweetness if desired.
    • Pour the mango mixture into the popsicle molds. If adding the mango chunks, place a few pieces in each mold and use a butter knife or the end of a spoon to distribute them evenly.
    • Optionally, sprinkle shredded coconut onto the surface of each popsicle and gently press down to get it to stick.
      3 tablespoons shredded coconut
    • Place the lid on the popsicle mold and then add a popsicle stick in the center of each well, leaving about 1 ½ inches or 4 cm of stick exposed.
    • Freeze for 8 hours or until solid.
    • Unmold the popsicles by filling a pan with hot water and placing the tips of the popsicle mold in the hot water for 10 seconds to make them release easier.
