These Mango Coconut Popsicles are sure to cool you down on any one of these hazy hot days we've been having. They're super easy, all you need to have is some form of popsicle molds!
Ingredients:
3 cups frozen mangos
1 can full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon honey (optional but we definitely recommend!)
½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Squeeze of lemon
How-to:
1. Add mangoes to a blender or food processor. Blend until crumbly.
2. Add coconut milk and maple syrup (if using), blending until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Add coconut and pulse a few times, until well mixed.
3. Pour this mixture into a popsicle mold. Make sure to leave about ¼” of space at the top of the mold to allow the popsicles to expand in the freezer. Insert popsicle sticks into the mold, or follow instructions for your mold.
4. Freeze for minimum 6-8 hours - overnight is best!
5. Remove from freezer. If needed, allow to thaw for a few minutes. Run popsicle mold under a bit of lukewarm water to help them loosen.
This is a great one to bring up north as a guest, and surprise your hosts with what's sure to be their new favourite frozen dessert!
