Mango Yogurt Popsicles
These creamy mango yogurt popsicles are an easy, refined-sugar-free frozen treat at just 45 calories each. Made with fresh or frozen mango and thick Greek yogurt, they blend up smooth and creamy instead of icy, so they're a healthy dessert both kids and adults can enjoy.
Ingredients
- 3 cups mango chunks, fresh or frozen (thaw first if using frozen)
- 1 ⅓ cup vanilla yogurt, or skyr
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, (or to taste)
Instructions
- Blend: Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender: mango, yogurt, and maple syrup.
- Pour: Evenly pour into popsicle molds and tap the filled popsicle molds on a kitchen counter to release any air pockets. Then, add the popsicle sticks. This recipe makes about 12 mini popsicles or 9 regular-sized ones.
- Freeze: Freeze the mango popsicles overnight or for at least 5 hours.
Notes
No Added Sugar Version: You can make these mango popsicles with no added sugar by omitting the maple syrup. Mango is naturally sweet, so some people don't need or want it. I recommend tasting the batter before freezing to decide if you want it sweeter.
Yogurt: Full-fat Greek yogurt or skyr gives the creamiest, least icy result. Low-fat and non-fat have more water and can freeze harder. Use a thick plant-based yogurt to make them dairy-free.
Sweetener: Maple syrup keeps these refined-sugar-free. If your mango is very ripe, you can cut it back or leave it out. Honey works as a swap.
Taste before freezing: You can't adjust sweetness once they're frozen, so taste the mixture first and add a little more maple syrup if needed.
Freezing: Freeze at least 5 hours, but overnight is best for the smoothest texture and easiest unmolding.
To unmold: Run the molds under warm water for a few seconds, then gently pull the sticks.
Storage: Keep in the freezer up to 2 months. Unmold and store in a freezer-safe bag or container, separating with parchment if stacking.
Variations: Try mango tajin, cherry mango, or a splash of coconut milk for a tropical version.
