This easy mango popsicle recipe for toddlers is the perfect healthy treat to serve all summer long! Made with real fruit and coconut milk, these homemade popsicles are a great way to cool down on a hot day with no added sugar!
Ingredients
For mango popsicle recipe:
- 4 cups frozen or fresh diced mango cubes
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
For spinach mango popsicles:
- 4 cups frozen or fresh diced mango cubes
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1 large handful baby spinach
For mango lime popsicles:
- 4 cups frozen or fresh diced mango cubes
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- Juice and zest of half a lime
Instructions
- Blend together the mango and coconut milk in a high power blender or food processor until smooth.
- Divide the popsicle mixture into a popsicle mold. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid. Serve or store in the freezer for later.
Notes
- If you use frozen mango chunks, you may need to let them thaw for a bit before blending them if you don't have a very high power blender.
- For the creamiest popsicles, use full-fat coconut milk rather than light.
- I prefer using a high power blender over a food processor for these popsicles since it blends the mango and coconut milk into a smooth and creamy mixture, whereas the food processor sometimes leaves some chunks here and there. Because the blender has a spout, it's also easier to pour the mixture into the molds without making a big mess.
- To easily release the popsicles, you may need to run some warm water over the mold and wiggle the popsicles to help remove them from the mold.
- For sweeter homemade ice pops, add a bit of maple syrup to the popsicle mixture before freezing.
- To make them even creamier and add a dose of protein, you can blend some Greek yogurt or plain yogurt into this toddler popsicle recipe as well.
