Mango yogurt popsicles {Helados de mango y yogurt}

These popsicles combine smooth yogurt with ripe mango puree and a touch of sweetness, resulting in a creamy frozen treat with a mild fruit flavor. The blend can be poured into molds or cups for easy freezing, and dipping the molds in warm water helps release the popsicles.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups PLAIN yogurt or vanilla yogurt - omit honey
  • 4-5 Mango about 20 oz after peeled/sliced, cut into pieces - can also use frozen mango chunks, ripe
  • ¼ to ½ cup sugar can also use a banana to sweeten, or honey

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender and mix until you have a smoothie like mix. Taste and add additional honey (or sugar) if needed.
  2. Pour the mango yogurt mix into popsicle molds or small paper/plastic cups. If you using small cups as popsicle molds you can cover them with foil and insert the popsicle stick thru the foil to keep them in place. Or let them freeze for about an hour and then add the sticks.
  3. Place the popsicles in the freezer until they are fully frozen, about 4 hours (more or less depending on your freezer’s temperature). To make it easier to remove them from the molds or cups, you can dip the bottom of the mold in lukewarm water for about 10-20 seconds.

Notes

  • For a chunkier texture, add small mango pieces into the popsicle mixture before freezing.
  • You can use frozen mango chunks if fresh mango is unavailable; thaw slightly before blending.
