Instructions

Slice around the seed of the mangoes by making two cuts all the way through each mango, each just off-center.
Use a large spoon to scoop out the mango flesh from the mango halves. Rough chop the mango flesh.
Add the diced mango, water, and sugar to a blender. Hold the seed over the blender and run the spoon over the seed to extract any extra flesh and juice. Optional: Add lime juice and powdered ginger.
Blend until a smooth puree forms. It should have the consistency of ketchup. If necessary, add a touch more water to thin out the puree. You should have about 3 cups of puree.
Fill the ice pop molds, small freezer-safe glassware, or 6-ounce plastic cups, but not all the way up as the filling expands as it freezes.
Freeze for 6 hours. Make it easy to unmold by dipping them in warm water. And then all you have left to do is to enjoy the most refreshing thing you'll have all day!
