Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 large ripe Ataulfo mango, peeled and seeded (about 1 ¼ cups / 200 g diced mango flesh)
⅓ cup (≈ 80 ml) plain full-fat yogurt
1 tablespoon (≈ 15 ml) honey
2 tablespoons (≈ 30 ml) whole milk

Directions

Place the diced mango, yogurt, honey, and milk into a high-speed blender. Blend on high for about 40 seconds until the mixture is very smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, filling them nearly to the top. Insert popsicle sticks. Tap the mold on the counter a few times to let any air bubbles rise.
If you’re using wooden sticks, you can freeze the filled molds for about 10 minutes before inserting the sticks — this helps them stay upright.
Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until solid.
To remove the popsicles, run the mold under warm water for a minute — turning it so water hits all sides — then gently twist and pull the popsicle out.

Servings and timing

Makes: 4 popsicles
Prep time: about 5 minutes
Freeze time: at least 4 hours

Variations

Use frozen mango — this can make the pops prep even quicker.
Swap plain yogurt for Greek yogurt or a dairy-free yogurt alternative (e.g. coconut yogurt) depending on dietary preference.
Use a milk alternative (like almond, oat, or soy milk) instead of whole milk.
Adjust sweetness: if mango is very sweet, you might reduce the honey; if it’s less sweet, you might add a little more.
For a fruit twist — replace part of the mango with other fruits (like peach or pineapple) for fun flavor combos.

Storage/Reheating

Once frozen, store the popsicles in the freezer until ready to eat. There’s no reheating needed — just pop them out and enjoy. For storage, you can transfer them from molds into a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag if you want to keep them longer or save space.

FAQs

What if I use frozen mango instead of fresh?

Yes — frozen mango works well. Just make sure it softens slightly (or thaw briefly) before blending so your blender can handle it easily.

Can I make these popsicles vegan or dairy-free?

Yes — swap the yogurt for a dairy-free yogurt (e.g. coconut-milk yogurt) and use a plant-based milk (like almond or oat). If you want them dairy-free and still creamy, choose a full-fat dairy-free yogurt.

What if the popsicles are too icy instead of creamy?

Using full-fat yogurt (or a creamy dairy-free yogurt) and whole milk helps keep the texture smooth. Lower-fat dairy or watery milk alternatives might result in icier popsicles.

How sweet should the mango be?

Use a very ripe mango for best sweetness and flavor. If the mango is mild, you might want to add a little more honey (to taste).

Can I skip the honey altogether?

Yes — if your mango is sweet enough, you can omit the honey for a more natural fruit flavor.

Can I use a different fruit instead of mango?

Absolutely. You can substitute part or all of the mango with other fruits (peach, pineapple, etc.), though flavor and texture may vary.

How long will these popsicles keep in the freezer?

If properly stored in a sealed container or freezer bag, they should stay good for several weeks.

Do I need a special popsicle mold?

A standard popsicle mold is fine. Wooden-stick molds work well too — just freeze a little before inserting sticks so they stay centered.

What if I don’t have a high-speed blender?

A regular blender should still work — just blend a bit longer until the mixture is as smooth as possible. If your blender is weak, thaw frozen mango slightly to make blending easier.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, you can double (or triple) ingredients — just make sure your blender and molds have enough capacity.
