Print Recipe

A quick and easy tropical summer treat made with ripe mango, full-fat coconut milk, and Greek yogurt, topped with toasted shredded coconut for a creamy, refreshing popsicle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups ripe mango, peeled and chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or full-fat coconut yogurt for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for toasting on top)

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop about 2 cups of ripe mango (approximately 2 medium mangoes), removing the pit. If using frozen mango, let it thaw slightly for easier blending.
  2. Toast 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a blender, combine mango chunks, 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional). Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or syrup if needed. If too thick, add a splash more coconut milk to reach a pourable consistency.
  5. Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top. Tap molds gently to remove air bubbles.
  6. Sprinkle a pinch of toasted shredded coconut on top of each filled mold.
  7. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
  8. To unmold, briefly run warm water over the outside of the molds or let them sit at room temperature for a minute before gently pulling out.

Notes

Use full-fat coconut milk for creaminess; light coconut milk results in icier popsicles. Toast shredded coconut carefully to avoid burning. Stir mixture a couple times during the first hour of freezing to prevent large ice crystals. Silicone molds recommended for easy unmolding. For vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with full-fat coconut yogurt and honey with maple syrup.
