Key Ingredients
Frozen mango chunks are readily available at most grocery stores and are budget-friendly. Grab a bag from the frozen food aisle the next time you’re at the store.
Maple syrup is a relatively unprocessed sweetener that is perfect for increasing the sweetness level. Feel free to substitute with your favorite liquid sweetener (see my list of the best natural sugar substitutes).

Recipe Steps
Let me walk you through how to make these homemade mango popsicles.
Step One
Measure out the frozen mango and let it sit on the countertop for a few minutes.
Step Two
Combine the mango chunks, maple syrup, and water into a high speed blender like a Vitamix.
You can also use a food processor to make your homemade popsicles.
See the recipe card below for the exact ingredients and measurement.
Step Three
Blend the mixture until smooth, and then pour it into your molds or ice cube trays.
Step Four
Freeze the Mango Pineapple Popsicles for at least 6 hours, or until they are completely frozen.
Remove them from your silicone popsicle mold (or whatever mold you are using) and serve cold. You may need to run the molds under warm water to help loosen them.
I hope your family agrees this homemade popsicle recipe is the perfect summer treat! It’s one of my favorite ways to cool down without too much sugar.
Recipes Tips & Substitutions
- You can store the frozen mango popsicles in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- If you want a creamy mango popsicle, replace the water with coconut milk. You can also add other types of fresh fruit or frozen fruit such as mango or pineapple. A squeeze of fresh lime juice or lemon juice is also a nice way to brighten the flavors. Be sure to blend thoroughly for a creamy popsicle.
- Don’t have popsicles molds? You can also use an ice cube tray or paper cups with wooden popsicle sticks for your homemade ice pops.
Recipe FAQs
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute the frozen mango for your favorite fruits. Frozen berries, pineapple, passion fruit, or dragon fruit would all be amazing. I especially love using pineapple for tropical flavors.
Yes, but it will take longer for your popsicles to freeze. You’ll need about 3 large ripe mangoes to get the equivalent of 3 cups of frozen mango chunks. I like to use fresh mangoes during mango season!
Yes, just replace the water with coconut milk or almond milk. Or, if you want to increase the electrolytes, replace the water with coconut water instead (be sure to use an unsweetened version).
