Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Peel and chop about 2 cups (300g) of ripe mango into chunks. If using frozen mango, thaw until soft but still cold.
- In a blender, add mango chunks, 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut milk, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend on high speed for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides as needed until the mixture is silky smooth with no lumps.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or lime juice if desired, blending briefly again if adjustments are made.
- Pour the mixture carefully into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion.
- Insert sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
- To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull the popsicles free.
Notes
Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture. Ripe mangoes are essential for sweetness and flavor. Adjust sweetness and lime juice after blending to balance tartness and sweetness. Cover molds with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals. Allow popsicles to soften at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before serving for best texture.
