I am always looking for different sweet treats to make for hot summer days.  Fresh mango paired with creamy coconut milk has the perfect combination of tropical flavors for my mango popsicles recipe.  Because of the natural sweet flavor of the ripe mango, there is not much sugar needed to sweeten this recipe.  I use just a bit of pure maple syrup for sweetening.  And by using maple syrup these are considered vegan mango popsicles, if you or a family member follow a vegan diet.

Ingreidents in vegan mango popsicles

• mango- you can use fresh or frozen mango
• coconut milk- I used low fat
• maple syrup- or substitute agave syrup

I wanted these easy mango popsicles to be made with a few simple ingredients.  You can always add different things for flavor like lime juice.  However, I really like texture of the popsicles that the coconut milk adds to this frozen treat. They have an almost creamy ice cream texture that is different from most fresh fruit popsicles.

How do you make mango popsicles?

I use fresh mango cut into small pieces to make my popsicles.  I start by washing the fruit under cold water.  Then you will want to cut the mango away from the pit that runs through the center of the fruit.  If you have never cut a mango check out this step-by-step guide on how to properly cut a mango.  I remember the first time I ate fresh mango I was very unsure on how to cut the fruit. The pit in the center is very large so you will need several mangos to get the right amount for the recipe.

Most grocery stores have fresh mangos available, however if you do not have access to ripe mangos, you can use frozen.  I would allow the frozen chunks to come to room temperature before blending.  Then follow the recipe as using fresh.

After you have cut the mangos into chunks add them to either a high speed blender or food processor, along with the rest of the ingredients.   You will want to blend until very smooth so that it is easy to pour the mango puree into your popsicles molds.  You can use any kind of popsicle mold.  Some use a plastic stick while other varieties still use the wooden sticks.

Once you have poured the mango mixture into the mold,  it is time to place the popsicles into the freezer for at least 4 hours.   My Vitamix has a pour spout that comes in pretty handy for jobs like this!

After waiting patiently you will have your frozen popsicles!  Now you just need to remove them from the mold.  The easiest way to do this is to run the popsicle mold under warm water for about 30 seconds.  This will loosen them from the mold so that you can pull them out.  Otherwise you may pull out only the popsicle sticks!  This mango popsicle recipe is a great way to beat the summer heat!
