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 (360 g) 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 (400 ml) coconut milk, 2 teaspoons lime zest, 4-5 tablespoons (60-75 ml) 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 (20 g) 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.
