Why make these popsicles
To fully convince you to make these mango popsicles, it's important to delve into the many reasons why they're worth the effort.
- First and foremost, the health benefits of mango are numerous.
- Mango is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that provide a boost to your immune system. Not to mention, mango is great for digestion, so these popsicles can serve as a healthy treat after a big meal.
- But beyond the health benefits, making your own popsicles means you have the freedom to customize them to your liking.
- Add coconut milk for a creamier texture, or add a bit of spice with some chili powder. The possibilities are endless, and the end result is a snack that perfectly suits your taste preferences.
- Finally, making your own popsicles is a fun and easy activity to do with family and friends. Whether you're making them for a summer barbecue or as an afternoon activity, the process of blending and freezing the ingredients is both simple and satisfying.

Ingredients and substitutes
- Coconut cream - coconut cream make a wonderfully rich and creamy popsicle. But, you can also use Greek yogurt
- Mango - I am using mango juice and mango puree but you can use mango puree with water for consistency. I always make these when fresh mangoes are in season but you certainly can use canned or frozen mangoes as well.
- Ice Cream - Try ice cream instead of yogurt - does really taste delish!
- Substitutions - if you want to experiment with different flavors, there are plenty of substitutes you can use. For example,
- Instead of sugar, you can use honey or agave nectar for a healthier option.
- You can also add some lime juice, lemon juice, or orange juice for a different tangy taste.
- Additionally, if you do not have mangoes, you can even other fruits like strawberries or peaches.
- Customizing your popsicles can also extend to the texture.
- Instead of using water, you can use coconut milk or almond milk for a creamier texture.
- If you want a bit of a kick, add some chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicy twist.
- By experimenting with different ingredients and substitutes, you can find the perfect combination that suits your taste buds.

Mango popsicles
- Mangoes - If you are using fresh mangoes wash, peel, and pulse the fresh mango flesh/pulp in the food processor or blender until you have a smooth puree
Pro tip - I like to keep the puree a bit lumps so I have bits of little mango pieces in side the kulfi - Combine - In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients together. Use a whisk to ensure everything is well combined.
Pro tip - at this time it is a good idea to taste and adjust sweetness. You can add one or more tablespoons of sugar to sweeten the kulfi mixture. - Freeze - Pour into Popsicle molds and add the popsicle sticks. Place the molds in the freezer for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
Pro tip - soak the popsicle sticks in water for 30 minutes. This will prevent them from floating. - Unmold - To remove the popsicle from the mold just hold the mold under running water for 30 seconds. The mold warms just enough for the popsicle to slide out.
Pro tip- The warmth of your hands will melt the mold causing the kulfi to release from the mold.

Hi veena,
Really liked the recipe for mango popsicle.
Just a query. What if i omit the gelatin will it still set in the same way?
Veena Azmanov
If you omit gelatin add Agar Agar - You need something to set it - but again this is ice so it will still freeze.
