Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe fresh mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat recommended)
- 1/2 cup coconut water
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on mango sweetness)
- Prepare the Mangoes: Peel and dice ripe mangoes into small pieces to ensure easy blending and maximum natural sweetness.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine diced mangoes, coconut milk, coconut water, lime juice, vanilla extract, and sweetener if using. Blend until completely smooth to create a creamy tropical mixture.
- Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds. Tap molds gently on the counter to release any air bubbles and ensure the mixture settles evenly.
- Insert Sticks and Freeze: Place popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight for firm texture.
- Enjoy Your Popsicles: Once fully frozen, dip molds in warm water briefly to loosen, then gently remove the Tropical Coconut Mango Popsicles and enjoy.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for natural sweetness and vibrant color, minimizing the need for added sugar.
- Chill ingredients before blending to reduce freezing time and improve texture.
- Do not skip lime juice as it balances sweetness and brightens flavors.
- For added texture, fold in some mango cubes after blending the main mixture.
- Cover molds tightly during freezing to prevent freezer burn and off-flavors.
