Mango Popsicles Recipe
Once I tried these delicious, juicy homemade mango popsicles, I never bought them from the store again. They are Made with real fruit, sugar free and easy to stir up for multiple batches.
I experimented a lot with this recipe; I made it with a lot of different variations: I have used Greek yogurt, whole milk, and coconut milk I also added bananas.
My advice to you is to keep it simple; the simpler it is, the more delicious. II just LOVE them simple and cold. YUMMY!

Ingredients

Variations & Substitutions
- Looking for a creamier version of these popsicles? You can try substituting the water for coconut milk.
- As for the natural sweetener, there are plenty of other options that you can go for. Some might find honey to compliment the mangoes better; others prefer cane sugar, Stevia or leave the sweetener out altogether.
- If you're somebody that usually opts for the pulpier carton of juice, maybe you'll enjoy adding some diced mango just before freezing the popsicles to add texture. The diced mangoes are loved, especially by children.
- After you've made a successful batch, you can alternatively drop in any other fruit (don't let it overpower the mangoes, though) for variation like grapes, blueberries, or blackberries.
How to Make Mango Popsicles?
Here's the step-by-step photos and instructions for how to make the recipe.
First Step (Combine The Ingredients): Add mango, maple syrup, and water to the food processor, blend at high speed until smooth (photo 1).
Second Step (Pour The Mixture Into The Molds): Now, pour the mango puree mixture into a silicone popsicle molds or ice cream molds and put them in the freezer for 5-6 hours. Whatever molds you may use, make sure the stick or popsicle handle is placed correctly (photo 2).
Third Step (Your Treats Are Ready To Be Served): Remove the popsicles from the molds gently and serve (photo 3).
How To Make Popsicles Without Popsicle Molds
Don't have popsicle molds, that's completely fine! Here are some ideas to make this popsicles without popsicle molds:
You can freeze the mixture in some small cups and use wooden popsicle sticks as the handles. Another alternative would be to use ice-cube trays and toothpicks.
The popsicles will turn out small but cute. The small popsicles would again be a great serving size for kids.
Which Mango To Use
If you prefer to use fresh mangoes as I do, I'd recommend you go for the Kent or Alphonso variety, as they are less fibrous and pulpier for making ice popsicles.
I recommend buying the ripe ones; just gently squeeze one; if it is so hard, it's not ripe.
Expert Tips!
- If you're using frozen mango chunks, I advise you to thaw them first for a smooth and consistent mixture.
- While blending, make sure the mixture is as fine and paste-like as possible, even though it's just fruit, water, and maple syrup. For effortless blending, use your blender at high power.
- Freeze the mixture for at least 3 hours minimum. You can preferably freeze it overnight and wake up to a revitalizing treat if you don't like waiting.
- The quantity of maple syrup that you use depends entirely on the taste that you desire.
- If your popsicle sticks into the mold, put the mold in a bowl and pour ½ cup of hot water into the bowl; leave it for 10 seconds.
Recipe FAQs
Although it is easier to keep the popsicles stored in the mold itself, if taken out, they can be wrapped in plastic wrap or beeswax paper individually. After covering the popsicles, they can be stored in an air-tight container or zip-lock bag in the freezer.
Although you'll find them too yummy to be kept around for so long, they can be left frozen for 1-2 months. They won't go bad, but the texture might change and accumulate frost if they're in the freezer for too long.
This recipe is much more suitable than the store-bought popsicles filled with preservatives, false colors, and refined sugar. The more natural the sugar, the lesser the chances of children developing cavities. However, we do recommend using fresher ingredients for a healthier alternative.
