These creamy mango coconut popsicles are a dairy-free, tropical treat that is easy to make and perfect for hot summer days. They combine ripe mangoes and full-fat coconut milk for a smooth, refreshing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or agave nectar or honey)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut
  • Optional: a few fresh mint leaves for garnish or blending

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop about 2 cups (300 grams) of ripe mango flesh. If using frozen mango, let it thaw slightly for easier blending.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine chopped mango, 1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired. If too thick, add a splash more coconut milk or a teaspoon of water to loosen.
  4. If desired, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened shredded coconut by hand for texture.
  5. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving space at the top for expansion. Insert sticks. If using cups, freeze for about an hour until partially frozen before inserting sticks so they stand upright.
  6. Freeze molds for at least 6 hours or overnight. Avoid opening the freezer during this time to prevent ice crystals.
  7. To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the molds for 10-20 seconds, then gently pull on the sticks. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes for best flavor. Blend thoroughly to avoid grainy texture. Avoid opening freezer during freezing to prevent ice crystals. Full-fat coconut milk gives the best creamy texture. If popsicles are too icy, blend longer or add a teaspoon of rum for adults. Store popsicles in airtight container or molds with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
