Yogurt Popsicles | Yogurt Mango Popsicles

Yogurt Mango Popsicles, a delicious and creamy popsicle made from yogurt. It's one of the easiest popsicles that you can make in minutes and tastes absolutely delicious.

If you're looking for some homemade popsicles to enjoy this summer, then definitely give this popsicle a try!

Though the temperature is still below 10 for most of the days here in May this year, i'm done with winter cooking and move on to making popsicles.

Every day after back from the school, the little one asks what popsicle did you make today? He's enjoying these homemade popsicles a lot, that's the main reason for making a lot more popsicles this year than ever.

Yogurt Layer

In today's recipe, i have used home made curd / yogurt. But any plain store bought yogurt too works fine for this recipe. Make sure that the yogurt is fresh and doesn't have too much of a sour taste. For creamy popsicles, i highly recommend to use the full fat yogurt more than the low fat versions.

I have made these yogurt popsicles in two layers such as yogurt and mango layers. But these popsicles can be made with only yogurt layers too. Also, instead of mango, you can use other fruit puree also for layers like strawberry, peach and so on. As we're all big mango lovers, i'm apt for mango layer.

Sweetener

I have used maple syrup for this popsicle as a sweetener. Honey and sugar can also be used. If you're using sugar, make sure that the sugar is completely melted in the yogurt before pouring it in the popsicle moulds.

Now let's check out how to make these delicious popsicles.

Mango Popsicles | Mango Ice

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.

Mango Burfi with Almond flour | Mango Barfi

Mango Burfi , a delicious Indian sweet made from the mango pulp and almond flour as main ingredients. It's such an easy recipe to make in minutes with wonderful texture and taste.

Last year during summer, i experiment with making the mango burfi using almond flour and it turned out absolutely delicious after a few initial attempts. Ever since i have been making this mango burfi multiple times on various occasions and it never fails to impress anyone.

So if you're looking for some unique yet yummy burfi, then give a try on this delicious mango burfi.

Almond Flour

In the market, if you're looking for 'grounded almond', you can find almond flour and almond meal. This recipe requires almond flour not the almond meal. Almond flour is basically made from the blanched almonds .So make sure to get the almond flour which has more fine texture compared to almond meal.

Also, in some places, almond meal is made with whole skinned almonds, so the color of the almond meal would be little darker compared to almond flour.

Mango Pulp

For this recipe, you can use the canned mango pulp as well the freshly made mango pulp from the mangoes.

I have used the canned sweetened mango pulp for this recipe. You can use any canned mango pulp for this recipe. So far, i have used verka and deep brand of kesar mango pulp for this burfi.

If you're using homemade mango pulp. Make sure that the mangoes are well ripen, non-fibrous variety and sweet. To make the mango pulp at home, remove the skin and seed from the mangoes and put it in the blender and blend it well and strain it once before use.

Also remember, i have mentioned the amount of sugar needed for this recipe in the ingredients list is for using the canned sweetened mango pulp. So if you're using unsweetened and/or home made mango pulp, you definitely need more sugar. Give a taste check while cooking and adjust according to your taste.

Sugar

As i had mentioned already that this recipe calls for sweetened mango pulp, it doesn't need much additional sugar. Just an extra 1/4 cup of sugar is enough for this recipe. For a very mild sweetness, just 3 tbsp of sugar is enough.

I have tried with both 3 tbsp of sugar and 1/4 cup of sugar. For me, 1/4 cup of sugar is perfect for this burfi and using 3 tbsp of sugar has very mild sweetness. So use as per your family preference.

Milk Powder

Adding milk powder to this recipe is a personal preference. You can make this burfi with almond flour only and still it tastes amazing too. Trust me, i have made it that way many times.

But adding a little bit of milk powder truly elevates the burfi to the next level. It gives that dairy richness to the sweet just like how adding khoya to a burfi makes a difference.

Other flavorings

I don't want the other flavorings overpower the mango flavor in this recipe. So i keep it to a minimum when it comes to cardamom powder and saffron.

Also i used pistachios for garnishing the burfi since the green compliments yellow :-). You can use any other nuts as per your liking or leave as it is too.

Do give this mango burfi a try and let me know how you like it. Now let's see how to make this delicious mango burfi.

Mango Burfi with Almond flour

Preparation Time : 5 mins | Cooking Time : 15 mins | Serves : 8
Recipe Category: Sweet | Recipe Cuisine: Indian

Ingredients

Mango Pulp - 1 cup

Almond Flour - 1 & 1/2 cup

Milk Powder - 1/2 cup*

Sugar - 1/4 cup

Ghee - 3 tbsp

Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp

Pistachio(chopped) - 2 tbsp(optional)

Saffron - a few strands(optional)

*1/2 cup of milk powder is replaced by 1/2 cup of almond flour.

Procedure

In a large heavy bottomed pan, add the mango pulp and sugar. Mix it together and put it on the medium flame.

Measure the almond flour & milk powder and keep it aside. Once the mango pulp starts to bubble, keep the flame on low and cook the mango pulp for about 3-4 mins and make sure that the sugar is completely melted.

Then add the almond flour and milk powder. Mix it well. Then start adding the ghee little by little.

Once the whole mixture starts to roll with the ladle and the ghee slightly starts to ooze out(don't look for a lot of ghee oozing out, it don't, just looks like a shining grease on the bottom), add the cardamom powder, mix it well and switch off the heat. The last pic in the below collage shows the real color of the barfi in the natural light when it's done.

Immediately pour the mixture into the ghee greased tray/plate, smooth it out on the top and then sprinkle the pistachios on the top along with saffron(if using) and press it gently with the spoon/spatula. Let it cool completely and then cut into desired shape.

Super delicious mango barfi is ready to serve.

Mango Ladoo | Mango Coconut Ladoo

Mango Coconut Ladoo, a delicious ladoo made with desiccated coconut and mango pulp. It's one of the easiest ladoo recipes to make within 10 mins.

If you have followed me for a while, you might already know about my love for mangoes . It's really hard for me to reserve some mangoes to try any recipes because i simply love eating them as it is !

But i have been wanting to make this ladoo for a while, so this summer, i bought some extra mangoes on every grocery shopping with a hope of making these ladoos before mangoes are gone for this season. As a result, so far i have made these ladoos three times ! Yep, it's that much good and addictive !

Condensed Milk

For this ladoo, i have used condensed milk for sweetness. It gives such a rich taste to the ladoo.

Also depending on the sweetness of the mango, you may need more or less condensed milk.

So start off with 1/3 of condensed milk. First mix coconut, mango pulp and condensed milk, give a quick taste and then add more condensed milk if needed.

Fresh Mango Vs Mango Pulp

I have used fresh mango for this ladoo. But store bought mango pulp can also be used for this recipe. If you're using canned mango pulp, make sure to add less condensed milk because most of the canned mango pulp already has sugar in it.

Now let's check out on how to make these delicious mango ladoo.

Mango Ladoo | Mango Coconut Ladoo

Preparation Time : 5 mins | Cooking Time : 10 mins | Serves : 10
Recipe Category: Sweet | Recipe Cuisine: Indian

Ingredients

Mango pulp - 1/2 cup

Desiccated Coconut - 1 cup

Condensed milk - 1/3 -1/2 cup*

Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp

Ghee - 1 tbsp

* Depends on the mango sweetness, you can add more or less of condensed milk.

Procedure

Take a one medium size well-ripen mango, scoop out all the flesh in a blender and grind into smooth puree. Take 1/2 cup of mango pulp from it.

Next add the desiccated coconut, mango pulp and condensed milk in a pan and then switch on the heat. Milk it all well together.

Cook it in a medium flame and within a few mins, it all comes together like a single mass. At this stage add the ghee and the cardamom powder.

Cook it for a few more mins. When you're able to roll the mixture into smooth ball, switch off the flame. The ladoo mixture is ready.

Let it cool down until the heat of the mixture is hand bearable. Then take a small amount of mixture and roll into smooth ball.

That's it, Delicious Mango Ladoo is ready.

Notes:

Within 8-10 mins the ladoo would be ready for the given quantity, so don't cook for a longer time otherwise the ladoo would be chewy.
My mango is very sweet ,so i have added only 1/3 cup of condensed milk
It stays well in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Use a fine variety of desiccated coconut.
Use mango that has less fibre and in bright color for smooth and vibrant looking ladoos
Store bought mango pulp can also be used for this recipe.

Apple Mango Smoothie, a delicious and refreshing smoothie made from the Apples and Mangoes. This Smoothie is so easy to make and very fulfilling too, so it can be served as breakfast smoothie too!

In today's recipe, I used the store bought mango pulp for making this smoothie. However fresh mangoes also taste great for this smoothie ! I have tried making this smoothie with both fresh mangoes and canned mango pulp. Both are equally good.

When you're using canned mango pulp, make sure to add less sweetener because most of them already have added sugar in it.

Mango Fruit Custard | Eggless Mango Custard

Mango Fruit Custard, an easy to make delicious dessert with a lot of fruits and mango custard. In general, custard is a creamy dessert made with milk/cream, a sweetener and egg yolks or it's made with the readily available custard powder at the store.

To prepare this mango custard, instead of using egg yolks or custard powder, i have used corn flour. It helps to thicken the milk and give the creamy consistency.

This mango custard is so creamy and delicious. It can be prepared ahead of time and stored it in the refrigerator. When you are ready to serve, simply add the fresh fruits to the custard. Voila, scrumptious dessert is ready in minutes.

This mango fruit custard is one of the few desserts that can be easily prepared for large crowds. Perfect for summer get together and it's such a crowd pleaser !

Mango Vs Mango Puree

In today's recipe, i have used the store bought kesar mango pulp/puree. But you can also make the mango puree from the fresh mangoes. Scoop out the mango pulp, put it in the blender along with some sugar and blend into smooth puree. Tada, your mango puree is ready and use it in the recipe as instructed !

Sugar

As i mentioned, i have used the store bought mango puree which already has sugar in it. So to prepare the custard, it doesn't need a lot of sugar.

But if you're using homemade mango puree , adjust the sugar according to the sweetness of the mango and your liking.

Flavourings

Personally, i like this mango custard with a burst of mango flavour. Hence i haven't added any other flavourings. But cardamom and vanilla flavours really go well with the mango custard, so feel free to add more flavourings if you like.

Fruits

In today's recipe, i have used banana, apple, mango and grapes in the custard. But you can add whatever the fruits you like. I would recommend to avoid the watery fruits like watermelon because it makes the custard dilute and it doesn't taste good.

Pomegranate and berries also taste good with this mango custard. In addition to fruits, you can also add chopped nuts !

Now let's check out on how to make this delicious mango fruit custard.

Mango Fruit Custard | Eggless Mango Custard

Preparation Time : 1 hr | Cooking Time : 10 mins | Serves : 3
Recipe Category: Dessert | Recipe Cuisine: Indian

Ingredients

Milk -1 cup + 2 tbsp

Corn flour - 2 tsp

Sugar - 2 tbsp

Mango Puree - 1/2 cup

Procedure

First heat 1 cup of milk in a sauce pan. In a small bowl add 2 tbsp of milk and corn flour, mix it without any lumps.

When the milk comes to boil, keep the flame in low & add the sugar.

Next add the milk & corn flour mixture. Mix it continuously until the mixture starts to coat the back of the spoon. Now the base custard is ready.

Transfer the custard into a bowl and then add the mango puree and mix it well.

Cover the custard with cling wrap and refrigerate it for 2-3 hrs or until it's chill. Make sure that the cling wrap touches the custard. It helps to avoid forming the skin on the top of the custard.

After the custard is chill down, cut the fruits into small cubes and keep it ready. Remove the cling wrap and add the fruits. Mix it well.

Tasty Mango Fruit Custard is ready !
