Refreshing 3-Ingredient Mango Ice Pops
A vibrant, all-natural summer treat made with real fruit and no refined sugars. These vegan mango pops are incredibly creamy and take only 5 minutes to prep!
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mango chunks Fresh or slightly thawed from frozen
- 2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup Maple syrup adjust based on the sweetness of your fruit
- 1/3 cup Water only as needed for blending
Instructions
- Combine: Place the mango chunks, lime juice, and maple syrup into a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Blend: Add about half of the water and blend on high until the mixture is perfectly smooth. If the blender is struggling, add the remaining water one tablespoon at a time. The mixture should be thick but pourable.
- Adjust: Taste the mixture. If it needs more brightness, add a little more lime. If it’s not sweet enough, add another splash of maple syrup.
- Fill: Pour the purée into your ice pop molds, leaving about a half-inch of space at the top to allow for expansion.
- Set: Place the lid on the molds and insert the wooden sticks.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight.
- Serve: To remove, run the molds under warm water for 10–15 seconds until the popsicles loosen. Gently pull the sticks and serve immediately.
Notes
- Mango Selection: If using fresh mangoes, look for ones that are soft to the touch. The sweeter the fruit, the better the popsicle!
- Sweetener: You can substitute the maple syrup with agave nectar or simple syrup if preferred.
- Consistency: If you want a more "creamy" popsicle, replace the water with canned coconut milk.
