These frozen fruit bars combine creamy coconut cream with bright, juicy mango for a refreshing and easy summer treat. Perfect for beating the heat with simple, wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint or basil
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop about 2 cups (300 grams) of ripe mango flesh into chunks.
  2. In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the mango chunks with 1 cup (240 ml) of coconut cream. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Pour the mango-coconut mixture into a mixing bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of freshly squeezed lime juice, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk gently until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness or lime if desired.
  4. If using, fold in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of finely chopped fresh mint or basil or 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of chia seeds gently.
  5. Spoon the mixture into popsicle molds or containers, leaving space at the top for expansion. Insert sticks if needed.
  6. Place molds on a flat surface in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until solid.
  7. To unmold, briefly run warm water over the outside of the molds for 10-15 seconds and gently pull the bars out. Serve immediately or store in a freezer-safe container.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes for best sweetness and flavor. Coconut cream is essential for creamy texture; coconut milk will result in less richness. Taste and adjust sweetness before freezing. Freeze molds flat for even bars. Run warm water over molds to release bars easily. Can store bars in airtight container up to 2 weeks.
