Equipment
- popsicle mold
Ingredients
- 2 cups mango chunks fresh or defrosted from frozen
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- water
Instructions
- In the blender bowl, add the mango chunks, lime juice, & corn syrup. Add ½ cup of water. Blend on high to puree until smooth. ** add more water for a puree that is more thin/smoother. We like one cup of water since we want a smooth popsicle without chunks or bits.
- Taste test the puree with a tiny spoon. Add more corn syrup if you want it sweeter - do not add more than one more tablespoon or the popsicles will not freeze well due to the higher sugar content.** some mangoes will be more tart or more sweet so this will help adjust that.
- Using a tiny tunnel, pour the mango puree almost to the top of each mold opening. Add wooden or plastic sticks once filled.
- Place the filled popsicle mold into the freezer so it is level. Let them freeze for 4-8 hours.
- To unmold the popsicles, run warm water along the sides of the molds and wiggle each popsicle free. Enjoy immediatley.See notes above for unmolding tricks & tips.
- Store the popsicles in the mold or wrap each one individually in popsicle storage bags. They will last for up to 3 months in the freezer.
