Description

Creamy, refreshing, and naturally sweetened, these Coconut Milk Popsicles with Mango Swirl are the perfect tropical treat for hot summer days. Made with full-fat coconut milk, ripe mangoes, and a touch of maple syrup, they’re dairy-free, kid-friendly, and incredibly easy to make at home.

Ingredients
    For the Coconut Base
  • 2 cups full-fat coconut milk (canned, well shaken)
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
    • For the Mango Swirl
  • 1.5 cups ripe mango (peeled and chopped)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, depending on mango sweetness)
Instructions
    Prepare the Mango Swirl
  1. 1
    Add the chopped mango, lime juice, and maple syrup to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth. If needed, add 1–2 tsp of water for a smoother consistency. Set aside.
    2. Make the Coconut Base
  2. 2
    In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the full-fat coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and combined.
    3. Layer into Popsicle Molds
  3. 3
    Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the coconut mixture into each popsicle mold. Add a spoonful of mango puree, then alternate the layers, leaving a little room at the top. Use a skewer or toothpick to gently swirl the mango through the coconut mixture for a marbled effect.
    4. Insert Sticks and Freeze
  4. 4
    Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove air bubbles. Insert the popsicle sticks. Freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely solid.
    5. Unmold and Serve
  5. 5
    To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the mold for 10–15 seconds. Gently pull the popsicles out and enjoy immediately.
Note
