Mango Popsicles, a delicious and refreshing popsicle made from fresh mangoes. It's one of the best popsicles that you can have  on hot summer days. It's light, refreshing and instantly cools you off. 

I'm a person who thinks that mangoes are best when eaten as it is ! So i hardly make any desserts or any recipes with it regularly. Occasionally make one or two. That's all. 

But now that i want my little one to enjoy all kinds of summer treats, I'm a little hesitant to try every flavor of ice cream/popsicle that are available in the market. So i prefer to make a little quantity at home especially for the kiddo and this mango popsicle is an instant hit at our home. 

So if you haven't tried making mango popsicles at home then do give it a try ! It's simply amazing !

Mango

For this recipe, i have used the red mangoes that are available here in all grocery stores. But you can try this with any well ripened mangoes provided that are less fibrous and more fleshy. 

Lemon Juice

Other than mangoes, this recipe calls for lemon juice and maple syrup. But if your mangoes are tart, you no need to add the mentioned quantity of lemon juice in this recipe. You can reduce the lemon juice quantity or leave it out if your mangoes have enough tartness. When you taste test your mango puree make sure you can feel the tartness well. That's what makes this popsicle so refreshing.

Maple Syrup

For sweetener, i used maple syrup in this recipe. However, you can use honey, sugar or any other sweetener as per your liking. Depends on the sweetness of the mango , you may need more or less sweetener.

Ok,  that's it. Now let's check out how to make this delicious mango popsicle.
