What You’ll Need for Mango Lime Pops

Mango Lime Pops Ingredients
  • 2 ripe mangoes, chopped (look for sweet, fragrant mangoes for the best flavor)
  • 2 limes, juiced (or about ¼ cup fresh lime juice)
  • ¼ cup light coconut milk (can substitute with regular coconut milk or almond milk)
  • ½ cup water (adjust for desired consistency)
  • 9 plastic 3 oz. cups or popsicle molds
  • Small wooden craft sticks

How to Make Mango Lime Pops

  1. In a high-speed blender, combine the chopped mangoes, lime juice, coconut milk, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Taste the mixture and adjust as needed. Add more lime juice for tanginess or a pinch of sugar if you prefer it sweeter.
  3. Pour the mixture into plastic cups or popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
  4. Place the cups or molds in the freezer and freeze for 2 hours or until partially set.
  5. After 2 hours, insert the wooden craft sticks into the partially frozen pops. Return to the freezer.
  6. Freeze for at least another 2 hours or until completely solid. (Total freezing time: 4 hours.)
  7. To serve, briefly run the molds or cups under warm water to loosen the pops, then enjoy!

Serving Suggestions for Mango Lime Pops

These refreshing Mango Lime Pops are perfect on their own, but you can elevate them by serving with a sprinkle of tajín or a drizzle of honey for a sweet and tangy twist. Pair them with a tropical fruit salad or a scoop of coconut sorbet for a delightful summer dessert.

Recipe Variations to Try

Switch things up by adding ½ cup of pineapple for a tropical twist or blending in a handful of fresh mint leaves for a cooling kick. For a creamier texture, replace the water with additional coconut milk or use Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.

Time-Saving Tips for Perfect Pops

To speed up the freezing process, place the popsicle molds in the back of your freezer, where it’s coldest. If you’re short on time, use pre-chopped frozen mango instead of fresh—it blends smoothly and eliminates prep time.

Equipment Guidance for Easy Prep

A high-speed blender works best for a silky-smooth puree, but a regular blender or food processor will do the job too. If you don’t have popsicle molds, small plastic cups or even ice cube trays can be a great alternative.

Storage Tips for Long-Lasting Treats

Once frozen, transfer the pops to a ziplock bag or airtight container to prevent freezer burn. They’ll stay fresh for up to 2 months, so you can enjoy a tropical treat anytime!
