Ingredients For the Mango Popsicle Recipe

You’ll need just 4 simple ingredients to make these delicious homemade mango popsicles.

How to Make the Easy Mango Popsicles

Tips & Tricks to Make these Homemade Popsicles

Ready to give these easy mango pops a shot? You may want to take note of these little tips and tricks in mind.

• I have used coconut yogurt for this recipe, because I wanted to keep it vegan. If you don’t have coconut yogurt, you can use coconut milk as an alternative.
• If you prefer the creaminess of yogurt, and aren’t intolerant to dairy, you can use vanilla flavored yogurt.
• I would recommend using full fat coconut milk for this recipe to ensure that the popsicles turn out nice and creamy.
• For this recipe, I have kept the blended mixture smooth. If you would want a bit of texture, you can add some frozen mango chunks or diced mango into it before you transfer everything into popsicle molds.
• If you have some leftover mixture, you can transfer them into ice cube trays and drizzle a bit of lemon juice or lime juice over them and freeze them.
• If your popsicles have frozen solid, and you’re having trouble getting them out of the popsicle molds, you can dunk the mold in some warm water for a few seconds, and then get the popsicles out.

Mango Popsicle Variations You Can Try

Making popsicles has never been easier, and if you’re ready to give this recipe a try, here are some more variations you can experiment with.

Mango Orange Popsicles

If you’re using fresh mangoes to make these mango popsicles, you may also want to add a bit of freshly squeezed orange juice along with the lime juice.

This will make the popsicles more tangy and refreshing.

Tropical Mango Popsicles

Along with the coconut milk or coconut yogurt and the mango, you can also add some shredded or desiccated coconut into the mango mixture, and lend these easy mango popsicles a bit of a tropical twist.

Mango Pineapple Popsicles

You can give these classic mango popsicles a bit of a twist by adding some pineapple chunks (canned or fresh) into the mixture and then freezing them in the popsicle molds.

Creamy Mango Popsicles

You can also add some vanilla ice cream or heavy cream into the mango popsicles to transform them into these creamy mango popsicles.

The taste of the cream and ice cream will complement the sweet mango beautifully, and you’ll absolutely love how they will turn out.

Mango Berry Popsicles

If you have some frozen berries (think raspberries, blueberries and strawberries), you can also blend them together with some fresh mangos and turn them into some healthy homemade popsicles.

The versatility of these popsicles is what makes them so great. You can add practically any fresh fruit of your choice, and whip up your own version of dairy free popsicles.

What Other Sweetener Can I Use?

I’ve use agave for this recipe. It is a delicious natural sweetener that has flavors that complement the other ingredients well.

You can choose to use maple syrup instead, or even just use plain sugar or cane sugar if you want to.

Can I Use Fresh Mango Instead of the Frozen Mango?

You totally can! These homemade pops taste wonderful regardless of whether you use fresh or frozen mango.

I used frozen mangoes, because they are much easier to deal with.

How Long Should I Allow the Popsicles to Freeze?

I would highly recommend freezing these mango popsicles overnight to get them to the perfect solid state.

If you’re on a time crunch, you can freeze them for 4-6 hours or until they are solid.

Are Frozen Mango Popsicles Healthy?

These mango popsicles recipe is the perfect one to try out when you’re craving for a sweet treat that’s healthy and nutritious.

The fresh mango chunks, teamed up with maple syrup or agave, which are natural sweeteners, and a bit of coconut yogurt can really make these homemade popsicles a super healthy snack.

They are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and many other nutrients!
