How to Make Mango Popsicles
- Step 1: Add mango, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup to a high-speed blender.
- Step 2: Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Step 3: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds. Tap the molds on the counter to release any air bubbles, then insert the sticks.
- Step 4: Freeze overnight or for at least 5 hours, until completely solid. Enjoy!
Hint: You can use frozen or fresh mango in this recipe!
Top Tips
- Taste before freezing. Give the mixture a quick taste before pouring it into the molds—you can always add a little more maple syrup if your mangos aren't super sweet.
- Tap out air bubbles. After pouring the mixture into the molds, gently tap them on the counter. This helps the popsicles freeze evenly without gaps or cracks.
- Freeze overnight for best results. Popsicles might be ready after 5 hours, but overnight freezing makes them easier to unmold and gives you the best texture.
Equipment
Substitutions & Variations
- Make them sugar-free: You can omit the maple syrup since mangoes are naturally sweet. I recommend tasting the mixture before freezing to see if you want to add any sweetener.
- Make them gluten-free: This recipe is already gluten-free.
- Make them dairy-free: Easily substitute the yogurt with your favorite dairy-free option, like coconut or almond milk yogurt.
- Make them nut-free: These popsicles are naturally nut-free.
- Yogurt options: You can use vanilla, plain, or dairy-free yogurt. Skyr also works great for extra creaminess and protein.
- Maple syrup substitute: Use honey as an alternative.
- Add a fruity twist: Blend in ⅓ cup of frozen cherries, strawberries, or pineapple for a fun new flavor—cherry mango is one of my favorites!
- Go tropical: Stir in a splash of coconut milk or a few tablespoons of shredded coconut for a creamy, tropical vibe.
Storage
You can keep these mango popsicles in the freezer for up to 2 months. Store them in the mold or transfer them to a freezer-safe airtight container or bag once they're fully frozen to prevent freezer burn. Just make sure to separate them with parchment paper if you're stacking them!
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Frozen mango works great. If the mixture feels too thick when blending, just add a little more yogurt or a splash of milk to help it blend smoothly.
Absolutely! You can leave out the maple syrup since mango is naturally sweet. I recommend tasting the mixture before freezing to see if you want to add any sweetener.
Yes! Plain Greek yogurt works well. I like using vanilla yogurt for extra flavor, but if you use plain yogurt, try adding 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and an extra tablespoon of maple syrup. Taste before freezing to adjust sweetness.
Definitely! They’re made with just three wholesome ingredients—mango, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup—with no refined sugar, preservatives, or artificial stuff. Plus, each popsicle has about 2 grams of protein and is low in calories.
Typically, it takes about 4 to 5 hours, depending on the mold size; however, freezing overnight yields the best results.
Let the popsicles sit at room temperature for 5 minutes, or run the bottoms of the mold under warm water for 30 seconds. This helps them loosen and come out easily.
