Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ripe mango, fresh or frozen (peeled and diced if fresh)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt for a softer pop)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or heavy cream (for creaminess)
  • 2–4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice (optional, brightens flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, rounds out the taste)
  • Pinch of salt (enhances sweetness)
  • Popsicle molds and sticks (or small paper cups and wooden sticks)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the mango: If using fresh mango, peel and dice it. If using frozen, let it thaw slightly so it blends smoothly.
  • Blend the base: Add mango, yogurt, coconut milk or cream, honey, lime juice, vanilla, and salt to a blender. Blend until silky and thick, 30–60 seconds.
  • Taste and adjust: Check sweetness and tang. Add a bit more honey or lime juice if needed. The mixture should taste slightly sweeter than you want, since freezing mutes sweetness.
  • Fill the molds: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion.
  • Add sticks: Insert sticks according to your mold’s directions. If using paper cups, freeze for 45 minutes, then insert sticks when the mixture is slushy so they stand upright.
  • Freeze solid: Freeze for 4–6 hours, or until fully set. Overnight is best for clean unmolding.
  • Unmold and serve: Run warm water over the outside of the molds for 10–15 seconds, then gently pull out the pops. Enjoy right away.
