Rather than buying popsicles that might be loaded with a ton of added sugar, and other questionable ingredients, why not make your own?

Making popsicle recipes doesn’t have to be complicated. Most are actually really easy – just like these Mango Coconut Popsicles.

These popsicles are the perfect summer snack to cool down and re-hydrate with.

Why This Recipe Works

These fruit popsicles take anywhere from 3-5 ingredients, depending on how ripe the mangoes are that you are using, and just 10 minutes to prepare.

There are two different ways to enjoy them. You can layer the flavors, or blend them together.

Every bite has a burst of sweet, tropical flavor that both kids and adults love.

You can feel good about eating these popsicles and giving them to your kids on a hot summer day.

How To Make Mango Coconut Popsicles

What You Need To Make This Recipe

To make this recipe, you will need:

  • 2 cups of mango puree (from approximately 2 mangoes)
  • 1 13.66 ounce can of unsweetened coconut milk (I strongly prefer Thai Kitchens or a Taste of Thai brands)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened coconut shreds
  • lime juice (if needed)
  • honey (if needed)

Prep!

Cut the mango into chunks that you can fit into your blender.

Properly cutting a mango can be tricky. If you need a little guidance, you can follow the steps for how to cut a mango in this post for Spicy Mango Salsa.

Create!

Mango Puree in a Silver Bowl

Puree the mango in your blender until it’s super smooth. Taste and adjust the flavor with honey or lime, if needed.

Tip: you can adjust the flavor of the mango with honey or lime. If the mango is less ripe and more sour, add a little honey and blend to taste. For mango that’s overly ripe and too sweet, you can add lime juice, a little at a time, to balance the flavor out. If your mango is perfectly ripe, you may not need either honey or lime.

If you are layering the flavors, you’ll want to transfer the mango to a bowl and clean out the blender.

Add the coconut milk and the shredded coconut to the blender and puree until smooth either separately, if layering the popsicles, or along with the mango if you are blending the flavors.

Present!

A Single Mango Coconut Popsicle

To make layered popsicles, pour some of the mango puree into the popsicle molds, then a little of the coconut, repeat this process, creating as many layers as you can fit.

A Single Blended Mango Coconut Popsicle

For blended popsicles, pour the mixture into the popsicles molds.

Freeze until solid. The time it takes the popsicles to freeze will vary on the size molds you use and the temperature of your freezer, but anticipate about 3 hours for them to be completely frozen.
