Why Make This Recipe
These Strawberry Mango Popsicles are not just a fun way to cool down; they’re also healthy and filled with natural sweetness. You can whip them up in no time with just a few fresh ingredients. They are perfect for summer parties, family gatherings, or just enjoying on a sunny afternoon. Trust me, once you try them, you’ll want to make them again and again!
How to Make Strawberry Mango Popsicles
Ingredients:
- 3 cups strawberries
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 cups cubed mango
- 1/3 cup orange juice
Directions:
Add the strawberries, maple syrup, and lime juice to a small pot on medium heat. Let them cook for 5-10 minutes until the strawberries begin to soften. (This step is optional, but it boosts the flavor of the strawberries!)
Transfer the strawberry mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
Divide the strawberry mixture evenly into your popsicle molds.
Clean the blender, then add the mango and orange juice. Blend until smooth.
Divide the mango mixture evenly into the popsicle molds.
Optionally, use a knife or a chopstick to swirl the mixtures in the molds for a marbled effect.
Place the covers on the molds and insert popsicle sticks. Put them in the freezer overnight to set.
To remove the popsicles from the molds, run them under warm water for about 30 seconds, then gently pull on the sticks.
How to Serve Strawberry Mango Popsicles
These popsicles are best served right out of the freezer on a hot day. You can enjoy them straight from the mold or place them on a plate for a fun presentation. They also make for a great dessert at barbecues or birthday parties!
How to Store Strawberry Mango Popsicles
Store your popsicles in the freezer in their molds. If you want to keep them longer, wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in a zip-top bag. They should stay good for about 2-3 months, but they are so tasty, I bet they’ll be gone way before then!
Tips to Make Strawberry Mango Popsicles
- Use ripe fruit for the best flavor.
- If you want them a little sweeter, adjust the maple syrup according to your taste.
- To make them creamier, you can add a little yogurt to the mango mixture.
Variation
Feel free to mix in other fruits like bananas or blueberries for variation! You can also swap the orange juice for coconut water for a tropical twist!
