Mango Popsicles
Description
Mango Popsicles highlight fresh mango purée, enhanced with coconut liqueur for subtle tropical flavor and lime juice for brightness. Blending these ingredients until smooth creates a creamy yet fruity base that freezes into bars. Optional Tajin seasoning offers a contrasting spicy and tangy note when sprinkled on the popsicles just before serving.
The popsicles freeze solid in molds and can be released by briefly immersing the molds in warm water. This method facilitates easy removal without damaging the shape.
This recipe is suited for warm climates or any time a fresh fruit frozen dessert is desired. It requires simple ingredients and basic freezing equipment. The liqueur adds adult complexity but can be substituted or omitted.
The popsicles keep frozen for two weeks in the freezer, maintaining texture and flavor, allowing for preparation ahead of time or batch making.
Ingredients
- 2½-3 cups Mango from 4-5 mangoes, chunks
- ¼ cup coconut liqueur or other liqueur or flavored rum
- ¼ cup lime juice
- tajin seasoning optional
Instructions
FOR MANGO POPSICLES:
- Cut the mangoes vertically along either side of the pit and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Cut away the excess fruit from around the pit.
- Combine all ingredients, except Tajin, in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour the puree into popsicle molds, add the "stick" and freeze until solid.
- Fill a glass with hot tap water and dip the popsicle mold into the hot water -- up to but not past the rim. Hold for 10 seconds in the water, then slip the popsicle from the mold.
TO GARNISH:
- Let the popsicles sit out for a few minutes at room temperature, then sprinkle with Tajin (so the seasoning sticks).
Notes
- Mango popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to two weeks while maintaining quality.
- Allow popsicles to thaw a few minutes at room temperature before sprinkling with Tajin for better adherence.
- Dipping popsicle molds in warm water briefly helps to release the popsicles without melting them.
