There's something wonderfully simple about making popsicles from scratch. Unlike many frozen desserts, these require no special technique or culinary experience—just a blender, a set of molds, and a little patience while the freezer does its work. The magic happens in the blending: as the mango, Greek yogurt, coconut milk, lime, and honey come together, the mixture transforms into a silky, fragrant base that smells like a tropical vacation. Stirring in the shredded coconut at the end adds little pockets of texture that make each lick more interesting than the last. Whether you're making these for a backyard gathering, a children's snack, or a quiet moment of self-care on a hot day, these popsicles deliver pure, uncomplicated joy.

Ingredients

• Fruit & Dairy
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or full-fat)

  • Zest of 1 lime
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

  • 1/4 cup (20 g) unsweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the base

In a blender, combine diced mango, Greek yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, honey, vanilla extract, and coconut milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Stir in coconut

Stir in shredded coconut with a spatula to evenly distribute.

Step 3: Adjust sweetness

Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.

Step 4: Fill the molds

Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, tapping gently to remove air bubbles.

Step 5: Add garnish (optional)

If desired, sprinkle a little extra shredded coconut on top of each mold for texture.

Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.

Step 7: Unmold and serve

To release, run molds briefly under warm water and gently remove popsicles. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Achte darauf, dass die Mangos wirklich reif sind – sie sollten weich, duftend und goldgelb sein, damit die Popsicles ihre natürliche Süße voll entfalten können. Wenn du gefrorene Mango verwendest, taue sie vollständig auf, bevor du sie in den Mixer gibst, damit die Konsistenz glatt und cremig bleibt. Beim Abfüllen in die Formen empfiehlt es sich, die Formen leicht auf die Arbeitsfläche zu klopfen, um Luftblasen zu entfernen und eine gleichmäßige Textur zu gewährleisten. Lass die Popsicles mindestens 4 Stunden, am besten jedoch über Nacht, einfrieren, damit sie vollständig fest werden.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Diese Popsicles lassen sich wunderbar anpassen. Für eine vegane Version ersetze das griechische Joghurt durch Kokosjoghurt und verwende Ahornsirup statt Honig. Wer es etwas aufregender mag, kann eine Prise Chilipulver in die Mischung geben – die leichte Schärfe harmoniert überraschend gut mit der fruchtigen Süße der Mango und dem Zitrusaroma der Limette. Anstelle von Mango kannst du auch andere tropische Früchte wie Papaya oder Ananas ausprobieren, wobei die Basis aus Joghurt, Kokosmilch und Limette gleich bleibt.

Serviervorschläge

Diese Mango-Popsicles schmecken am besten frisch aus der Form, direkt nach dem Herauslösen. Serviere sie auf einem Tablett mit frischen Mangoscheiben und Limettenspalten für eine ansprechende Präsentation. Als Getränkebegleitung eignet sich besonders ein Glas Sprudelwasser mit Limette – die Kohlensäure und die Frische der Limette ergänzen die cremige Süße der Popsicles perfekt. Für eine Dessertplatte kannst du die Popsicles mit zusätzlichem geriebenem Kokos bestreuen und mit frischer Minze garnieren, um das tropische Flair zu unterstreichen.
