Creamy mango and Greek yogurt blend with lime and coconut for a cool summer treat.

# Components:

→ Fruit & Dairy

01 - 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
02 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, low-fat or full-fat

→ Flavorings

03 - Zest of 1 lime
04 - Juice of 1 lime
05 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

# Directions:

01 - In a blender, combine diced mango, Greek yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, honey, vanilla extract, and coconut milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
02 - Stir in shredded coconut with a spatula to evenly distribute throughout the mixture.
03 - Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness as needed by adding more honey or maple syrup to your preference.
04 - Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, tapping gently to remove air bubbles.
05 - If desired, sprinkle a little extra shredded coconut on top of each mold for added texture.
06 - Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
07 - Run molds briefly under warm water and gently remove popsicles. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but actually feels light on your stomach, unlike heavy ice cream.
  • The lime cuts through the sweetness in a way that keeps you coming back for another bite.
  • Homemade means you skip all the weird stabilizers and just get real fruit frozen in a stick.
02 -
  • Air bubbles become ice crystals, so tapping your filled molds really does matter for smooth texture rather than icy bites.
  • The moment you taste that lime zest against cold mango is when you realize why fresh citrus zest beats bottled juice every single time.
03 -
  • Freeze your popsicle molds empty for an hour before filling them, which sounds excessive but actually prevents the mixture from separating as it first starts to freeze.
  • The lime zest is non-negotiable, so don't skip it thinking you can add more lime juice instead—zest gives you the aromatic oils that juice alone can't provide.
