Mango Coconut Popsicles

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The healthy, 3-ingredient mango coconut popsicles are delightful as a midday snack or dinner-time dessert. I have no qualms about serving them in the morning too. They are the perfect guilt-free frozen pleasure. Do give them a try!

Now that mangoes are here, every day is a mango day because mangoes, for me, are the quintessential summer flavor. While nothing beats eating them straight up, they are a wonderful addition to many foods - sweet and savory, but especially to frozen treats.

The tart, juicy, and sweet fruit that embodies the warmth and brightness of summer lends itself beautifully to all chilled desserts. But when mercury levels start to soar, my way to beat the heat and hydrate our bodies is a popsicle.

Kids (and who am I kidding, me too!) want an icy popsicle or two every day. Instead of loading up on store-bought versions that have questionable ingredients, we like to make our own. Needless to say, for the hot months of the year, my freezer is stocked with homemade popsicles!

Over the years, I’ve made plenty of them like my Easy Cherry Yogurt Popsicles or my Jamun (java plums) Yogurt Popsicles. This time I decided to try mango coconut popsicles.

Believe me, the unmolding of these chilled to perfection treats was such an event in our house!

How to Make Mango Coconut Popsicles?

During this time, the markets are flooded with fabulous fruit - cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, melons, and whatnot. I dream up tons of flavor combinations I can get out of them for icy popsicles.

Why this obsession with fresh fruit in popsicles? Because they let me easily cut down on the sugar.

I particularly love mango as it imparts a distinct aroma, sweetness, and creaminess to the pops. And that gorgeous bright yellow sunshine color is an instant cheer me up!

To make them, I blend coconut milk with vanilla bean paste and some maple syrup and keep it aside. I use a tiny bit of this mixture to puree mangoes.

When I have both blends ready, I alternately pour them into the molds to form gorgeous white and yellow layers.

That’s it, I freeze them overnight, and then the next day we can binge on velvety, delicious, and perfect for a hot summer day mango coconut popsicle!

Quick Notes:

These popsicles are slightly sweetened with maple syrup. You could certainly substitute it with sugar or honey.

I didn’t need much of the sweetener because I used Safeda mangoes. They are naturally sweet, and the saccharinity comes to the fore with the recipe. If you don’t have Safeda, use the sweetest mangoes you can find.

For the milk, I prefer full-fat coconut as it adds so much oomph. The pops turned out to be creamy and not have that watery, icy feel to them.

You could, by all means, use thick, Greek yogurt instead of coconut milk or just regular full cream. For those whose hearts are stuck on regular milk, I recommend going half milk and half cream for best results.

The vanilla bean paste was a whim on my part as I had pods languishing at home. You can skip it. But if you love an extra depth of flavor, like me, and don’t have pods add vanilla extract.

Enjoying The Mango Coconut Popsicles

The popsicles barely take 10 minutes of prep. The longest part (and not by much) is making the layers. I did it for the heck of it and because food is more fun when it provides a pretty visual.

To make short work of the mango coconut popsicles, make swirls or just blend all the ingredients and freeze.

The hardest part is not to peek into the freezer every few hours to check if they’re ready yet. That’s why I said, make them overnight.

Variations of mango coconut popsicle:

If you have my propensity to overbuy seasonal fruits and have a few neglected at the back of the fridge, use this truly versatile recipe to make all sorts of popsicles.

We’re just celebrating mangoes here in India, so they were my first pick. But if you have strawberries taking over fruit bowls in your part of the world, then replace the mangoes with the delicious red berries.

My abode has a constant demand for frozen snacks. If you float in the same boat and have already made mango coconut popsicles, try Mango Lemon Cashew Popsicle or Strawberry Thandai Popsicles.

Half the joy of cooking is sharing it with others. That’s why I’m always eager to hear from you. So go right ahead & drop a comment or reach out on Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, or Facebook. I hope you love these mango coconut popsicles as much as we do!
