If you love exotic fruits like papaya and mango, you’ll love these mango popsicles! A burst of tropical flavors with a hint of vanilla and spicy ginger. These are the perfect treat for summer and are super simple to make.
Before we dive into this super delicious and easy mango popsicle recipe, let’s take a look at the main ingredients, mango and papaya.
Papaya
Papaya is a tropical, super fruit that comes from central America and southern Mexico. It has a mild, sweet flavor and is packed with rich vitamins and antioxidants.
Mango
Mango is a tropical stone fruit that also high in antioxidants and vitamins. They are one of the most consumed fruits in the world and have the perfect, juicy soft texture that make for a creamy popsicle. We love using mango in our cocktail recipes too. Try this mango agave wine frozen treat!
How to Make Papaya Mango Popsicles
Ingredients
- Fresh Mango
- Ginger
- Papaya Juice
- Vanilla Extract
- Corn Starch – Helps keep them less icy when frozen.
- Candied Ginger (optional)
Directions
First, cut a fresh mango into cubes. Here is a video showing the easiest way to cut a mango.
Next, add all of the ingredients into a blender and blend on high until they are fully combined and the texture is like a thick juice.
Pour the juice into a popsicle mold and add the sticks.
Freeze overnight until the popsicles are fully frozen.
If you prefer to add in a slice of candied ginger to the popsicles do that before freezing. This adds an even spicier flavor and a chewy texture in the middle.
How to Unmold a Popsicle
This part can be a little tricky and the last thing you want are broken popsicles after you have waited all night for them to freeze!
The best way to remove the popsicles is to run the bottom of the mold under warm water for about 2 minutes.
Gently pull on the popsicle stick to remove. If it still feels hard to get out, run the mold underwater again. It will come out pretty easily when it’s ready.
The Best Popsicle Mold
I use these molds often and really like them. Buy extra sticks for it!
