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.

All you need is some strawberries, coconut milk and honey, throw everything in the blender, puree and pour into popsicle mold and freeze. Yep, it's that simple, your home made strawberry popsicle is ready to devour.

I had this popsicle recipe in mind for a while to try, so bought a pack of strawberries with the thought of making it last weekend and in the next morning, it started to snow here. Yeah, in May!!! I was brought up with the idea of not eating anything cold even when it's drizzling outside and now it's snowing!! Had the dilemma but went with my plan anyway and enjoy it after two days when the temperature is bit better :-)

For the past couple of days, the temperature is so pleasant here to go outside and finally spring is here !! The trees begin to sprout the leaves & buds and it's amazing to witness the whole world around you awakens and slowly everything in grey and black starts to become colorful :-) I'm from the place(Tamilnadu,India) where autumn and spring are not in our weather seasons, hence i'm always fascinate about these seasons and after all these years still i'm at awe when the leaves fall and sprouts again!!

Pineapple Popsicle / Virgin Pina colada Pops, an another quick to make popsicle with pineapple and coconut milk. Adding coconut milk in this recipe brings out the wonderful tropical flavor and also helps to reduce the prickly sensation in your mouth and throat after eating pineapple.

I know many people who avoid pineapple because of the itchy and prickly feeling that leaves in your tongue. So if you're one of them, try this pineapple pops, i'm sure you would love this pops without hurting your tongue much.

Coconut Milk

For all kinds of pineapple drinks, popsicles and ice creams, coconut milk is extensively used for its tropical flavor. It's super refreshing and tastes delicious. So i highly recommend to use coconut milk in this recipe.

Besides you can't use any dairy milk in this popsicle. Because "Raw pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that breaks down the protein in dairy milk/milk product, making it bitter when keep it for a longer time".

Here in today's recipe, i have used the can coconut milk which tastes great. But in the past, i made this popsicle with fresh homemade coconut milk. So if you're interested in making this popsicle using fresh homemade coconut milk, go ahead and make sure to taste test for sweetness before freezing because fresh coconut milk usually has less sweet.
