    ❤️ Why you’ll love it

    I am a huge fan of the simplicity and freshness of this mango popsicle recipe. It is so easy to make, and the fact that it only requires five ingredients is a big plus for me. Plus, it is free of refined sugar, which is always a bonus when it comes to sweet treats.

    The combination of ripe, sweet mangoes, creamy coconut, and a hint of lime zest creates a tropical flavor that is simply irresistible. Maple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness, and full-fat coconut cream gives these popsicles a lusciously creamy texture that is hard to resist.

    I also love that this recipe is customizable. You can add in other fruits, such as strawberries or pineapple, to switch up the flavor. It is a versatile recipe that you can make your own, which is always a plus in my book.

    🧾 Key ingredients

    The ingredients for these mango coconut popsicles are simple and easy to find at your local grocery store. You may already have many of these items in your pantry, which is always a plus.

    Ingredients of mango popsicles on a white surface like 2 large mangoes, coconut milk in jar, corn starch, maple syrup and lime.

    Fresh ripe mango is the star of this recipe. Its sweet, tropical flavor gives the popsicles their delicious, fruity base. I would recommend using fresh mangoes if they are in season. However, you can also use frozen mango chunks if fresh ones are not available.

    Full-fat coconut cream adds a rich, creamy texture to the popsicles. Be sure to use full-fat coconut cream for the best results. Light coconut milk will not provide the same creamy texture.

    Maple syrup is the perfect natural sweetener for this recipe. It adds a touch of sweetness that complements the mango and coconut flavors without being overpoweringly sweet.

    Shredded coconut is a great way to add a bit of texture to these popsicles. It also enhances the tropical flavor, giving the popsicles a hint of coconut in every bite.

    🛒 You can find detailed measurements for all ingredients in the printable version of the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    🥘 Equipment

    For this creamy and refreshing vegan dessert, the most crucial piece of equipment you will need is a high-power blender. It will ensure that the mango and coconut cream are perfectly and smoothly combined, with no lumps or uneven texture.

    👩‍🍳 Instructions

    Preparing the ingredients

    STEP 1
    Start by peeling and dicing the mangoes. Set aside about ¼ cup of the diced mangoes for later use.

    STEP 2
    In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the diced mangoes with the coconut cream, lime zest, and 4 tablespoons of maple syrup.

    Blender with white liquid, yellow mango pieces and green lime zest.

    Making the mango popsicles

    STEP 1
    Transfer the popsicle mixture into a blender and blend until smooth. Remember to adjust the sweetness according to your preference.

    Blender with a yellow creamy puree.

    STEP 2
    Take your popsicle molds and distribute the mango puree evenly into each mold.

    💡 Expert tip

    For the best results, I recommend using ripe, fresh mangoes if they are in season. However, you can also use frozen mango. If you opt for frozen mango, allow it to defrost slightly. This will make it easier to blend and chop, especially if you want to add chunks of mango to your popsicles.

    🔄 Variations

    If you are a fan of spicy and tangy flavors, why not try making a mangonada version of these popsicles? Add chamoy to the popsicle mixture and sprinkle them with a chili lime seasoning like Tajín before freezing.

    You can experiment with different tropical fruits. Try adding some pineapple or papaya to the popsicle molds along with the mango.

    If you are a fan of chocolate-covered fruit, consider dipping these mango popsicles in melted vegan chocolate. This will add a rich and decadently sweet element to the popsicles.

    🥣 Serving ideas

    These refreshing mango popsicles are an excellent choice for a healthy and satisfying dessert. They are a great option for a hot summer day or a light and refreshing treat after a hearty meal.

    They are also perfect for a family gathering or a kids’ party. You can involve your little ones in the process of making them and let them choose their favorite toppings to customize their own popsicles.

    ❄️ Storing tips

    Storing and reheating these mango popsicles is incredibly easy and convenient, making them the perfect make-ahead treat for a hot summer day.

    To store the leftovers, place the individual popsicles in sealed plastic bags or wrap them individually with plastic wrap. Then, you can safely store them in the freezer for up to a month without sacrificing the flavor or texture of the popsicles.

    When you are ready to enjoy them again, simply take them out of the freezer and allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. The popsicles should be consumed immediately after serving.

    🤔 FAQs

    How long do mango popsicles take to freeze?

    It is best to freeze the mango popsicles for at least 8 hours to ensure that they are completely frozen. This allows the flavors to fully develop and the popsicles to set properly. If you are in a hurry to enjoy them, you can check if they are ready after 6 hours, but I recommend waiting the full 8 hours for the best results.

    Why is my mango popsicle not coming out of the mold?

    If you are having trouble removing the popsicles from the mold, you can fill a baking pan with hot water and place the tips of the popsicle mold in the hot water for 10 seconds. This will help to loosen the popsicles and make them easier to remove.

    What can I use if I don’t have popsicle molds?

    If you do not have popsicle molds, you can still make these mango popsicles. You can use small paper or plastic cups as molds. Once the popsicles are frozen, you can simply tear away the cup to reveal the popsicle.

    Why are my mango popsicles icy?

    If your mango popsicles are icy, it is likely because there is too much water in the mixture. To prevent this, make sure to use ripe, juicy mangoes and to strain the puree before pouring it into the molds. This will help to remove any excess water and ensure that your popsicles are creamy and smooth.
