Lately, I’ve been on a bit of a mango obsession (I mean, who can resist them, right?). And the best part? The flavors of these Mango Colada Pops can be paired with nearly any fruit you crave. Pineapple? Absolutely! Strawberries? Of course! The possibilities are endless. These pops are not only a tasty way to beat the heat but are also all-natural and totally customizable to suit your flavor preferences. It’s the perfect treat for a hot day, and the ability to mix and match fruits just adds to the fun.
Mango Colada Pops: Simple, Sweet, and So Easy to Make
One of the best things about these pops is how incredibly easy they are to make. The hardest part? Waiting for them to freeze—because let’s be real, that’s like watching paint dry. But once they’re done, you’ll have a delicious, creamy treat waiting for you.
To make these pops, start by taking 2 cups of your favorite frozen, unsweetened fruit (mango, pineapple, strawberries, you name it) and blend it into a puree with ¼ cup coconut milk beverage. I used So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk for a creamy texture.
In a separate bowl, mix ½ cup coconut milk beverage with 1 cup of full-fat canned coconut milk (just use the thick cream that rises to the top), and stir in 1.5 tablespoons of raw honey or organic coconut nectar for sweetness. Once that’s all combined, you’re ready to assemble the pops.
Assembling the Mango Colada Pops
Start by adding 2 tablespoons of your fruit puree to each popsicle mold. Then, fill the rest of the mold with your coconut milk mixture until the molds are full. Place the molds in the freezer for about 2 hours before inserting the wooden sticks. Wait until the pops are completely solid, usually in about 5 hours, and then they’re ready to enjoy!
A Treat with Zero Guilt
What makes these Mango Colada Pops even better is that they’re totally free of preservatives and artificial sweeteners. You can feel good about indulging in them, knowing that they’re made with natural ingredients. Plus, they’re a healthier alternative to store-bought popsicles, which can often be packed with added sugars and artificial flavors.
