Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen?

Absolutely! Just make sure to peel, chop, and freeze the fresh mango chunks ahead of time. This ensures the popsicles have that irresistibly thick, creamy texture.

Do I need a high-speed blender for this recipe?

While a high-speed blender creates the smoothest puree, any regular blender will work if you let the mangoes soften for a few minutes before blending. Add a splash more coconut milk if needed to help things along.

What if I don’t have popsicle molds?

No problem at all. Use small paper cups or sturdy ice cube trays, cover with foil, and poke popsicle sticks through the centers. You can even make “mini pops” or cubes for quick summer snacks.

How sweet are these popsicles?

They’re naturally sweet from the mangoes, with just a hint of added maple syrup (totally optional). For super sweet mangoes, skip the maple altogether, or add a drizzle for extra indulgence.

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients. Allow the frozen mangoes to sit at room temperature for a few minutes if needed so they are easier to blend.
Blend Mango Mixture
Add the frozen mangoes, coconut milk, and maple syrup (if using) to a high-power blender. Blend until very smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if necessary.
Add Coconut Shreds
Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. Stir in the unsweetened coconut shreds or flakes, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Fill Popsicle Molds
Spoon or pour the mango coconut mixture into popsicle molds, filling each nearly to the top. Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove any air pockets.
Insert Sticks and Freeze
Insert popsicle sticks into each mold. Freeze the popsicles for at least 6 hours, or until fully set and frozen solid.
Unmold and Enjoy
To release the popsicles, run the outside of the molds under warm water for a few seconds. Gently remove each popsicle and enjoy!

Notes

You can substitute fresh mangoes for frozen, but the freezing time may increase.
The maple syrup is optional and can be adjusted to taste or omitted for less sweetness.
For extra coconut flavor, toast the coconut shreds before mixing in.
Store leftover popsicles in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks.
