Creamy Mango Popsicles (Easy 3-Ingredient Recipe)

There’s something about a homemade popsicle that makes summer feel complete. Whether you’re cooling off after a day outside or looking for an easy dessert to keep in the freezer, these Creamy Mango Popsicles are as simple as they are refreshing. With just three ingredients, they come together in minutes and let the naturally sweet flavor of ripe mangoes take center stage.

I love recipes that celebrate seasonal produce, and mangoes are one of my favorite fruits to enjoy during the hot, humid, dogdays of summer! Blending them with Greek yogurt creates a creamy texture that’s reminiscent of frozen yogurt, while a splash of milk helps everything blend together smoothly. It’s a recipe that’s easy enough to make on a whim and one you’ll find yourself reaching for all summer long. The best part? Depending on what mango variety you choose will change the flavor and even the color! No sugar was added because mangos are naturally sweet!

If you’ve never made homemade popsicles before, this is a great place to start. There’s no cooking involved, no complicated ingredients, and plenty of opportunities to make the recipe your own by adding a squeeze of lime, a few slices of banana (to keep it tropical), or even some fresh mint!

Ingredients: Creamy Mango Popsicles

• Mango (1½ cups, peeled and diced): The star of the recipe. Choose ripe mangoes for the sweetest flavor and creamiest texture. Frozen mango can also be used if fresh isn’t available.
• Greek yogurt (¾ cup, 2% or 5%): Adds creaminess with a slight tang that balances the sweetness of the mango while creating a smooth, rich texture. I haven’t tested this with non-fat yogurt. The truth is that fat provides flavor, so the 2% or 5% Greek yogurt will create the best popsicles.
• Skim milk (½ cup): Helps blend everything into a pourable consistency and gives the popsicles a creamy finish.

How To Make Creamy Mango Popsicles

1. Add the mango, Greek yogurt, and skim milk to a blender.
2. Blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
3. Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion as they freeze.
4. Insert the popsicle sticks according to your mold’s instructions.
5. Freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until completely firm.
6. Remove the popsicles by running the outside of the molds under warm water for a few seconds until they release easily.
7. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two months.
