Mango Yogurt Popsicles
These Mango Yogurt Popsicles are very creamy, delicious, and refreshing! These are made with all natural ingredients and no processed sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mango cubes, around 2 mangoes
- 1/2 tsp Lime juice
- 1 cup Hung curd/Yogurt *see notes
- 3 tbsp Honey or Maple syrup * see notes
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and chop fresh mangoes into cubes and freeze them for 2 hours.
- In a blending jar, add hung curd, frozen mango cubes, lime juice, salt, and blend everything until pureed. You can add 1-2 tbsp of leftover whey to achieve the correct consistency to blend properly.
- Add honey in the mixture, you can adjust it according to the taste of the puree at this point and blend everything well.
- Pour the pureed mango mixture into the popsicle mold or disposable cups. Cover the mold with aluminum foil and make a slight cut in the middle with a knife.
- Add the popsicle stick in the middle and place the molds in the freezer for 6 hours or overnight.
Notes
- It is best to use fresh and ripe mangoes. They are sweet and have the best flavor. You can mix a variety of mangoes in this recipe, use store bought frozen mangoes, or fresh mango cubes.
- Use full fat yogurt or greek yogurt in the recipe. Don’t substitute low-fat yogurt as it will contain higher water content and will produce icier pops. If you are using store bought greek yogurt - use it directly in this recipe without hanging it.
- I have used homemade hung curd in the recipe. If you buy full fat yogurt - make sure to hang it in a muslin cloth for 1-2 hours to remove whey from it. For more information about making a hung curd check out my Kesar Pista Shrikhand Recipe.
- Honey or maple syrup adds creaminess and stability to frozen yogurts. Add between 2-4 tbsp depending on the sweetness you want.
- You can freeze the mango yogurt puree into an airtight container as well and enjoy a scoop of frozen mango yogurt.
