Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups mango (fresh or frozen, thawed), diced
- 1 cup Greek yoghurt (full fat, plain)
- 1 tsp vanilla (paste or extract)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: If using frozen mango, thaw it completely. Dice the mango into small, even pieces to ensure smooth blending.
- Blend: Combine the diced mango, Greek yoghurt, and vanilla paste or extract in the bowl of a stick blender or food processor. Blend the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy.
- Fill Moulds: Spoon the mango-yoghurt mixture into silicone popsicle moulds or small plastic cups. Carefully insert popsicle sticks into the center of each filled mould or cup.
- Freeze: Arrange the moulds or cups on a tray for easy handling and place them in the freezer. Let the popsicles freeze overnight, or at least 6 hours, to set completely.
- Remove Popsicles: To unmould, either gently pull on the sticks or if using plastic cups, briefly dip the cups in warm water to loosen the popsicles for easier removal.
- Store: Store the popsicles in an airtight container in the freezer. For best texture and flavor, consume within two weeks.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- If you prefer less creamy popsicles, substitute some of the Greek yoghurt with coconut milk.
- Vanilla paste gives a more intense flavor than extract but either will work well.
- Make sure the mango is fully thawed if using frozen fruit to avoid icy popsicles.
- To speed up serving, run the popsicle mould under warm water for a few seconds before attempting removal.
