About Mango Ice Lollies

Mango Ice Lollies are made using ripe mangoes, milk and sugar. It is also called Mango Lollipop. Mango season is the best time for this recipe because the fruit is sweet and juicy. Kids can enjoy it more than store bought ones as there is no colour or preservatives.

The texture is smooth and creamy because of the milk. It is not very icy like normal fruit popsicles. This is  bright yellow in colour and the taste is sweet with fresh mango flavour. When you bite it slowly, it melts in the mouth. Kids ask for more as they will love it.

You can change these lollies in many ways as per your taste. You can add few mango pieces inside the mould for chewy bites. You can use a silicon mould, a lolly mould or even an ice cube tray with sticks. A little cardamom powder or chopped nuts also goes well in it.

I make these lollies in summer when mangoes are plenty at home. I had one lollipop mould bought long time ago, and I use it every year. My kids finish them very fast and ask for more.

Mango Ice Lollies Ingredients

• Mango - I have used ripe and sweet mangoes, chopped roughly. It gives the colour and main flavour to the lollies. You can use any mango without much fibre.
• Milk - I add boiled and cooled milk to make the lollies creamy. It also help to blend the puree smoothly. You can use almond milk if you like.
• Sugar - I use sugar for sweetness. It dissolve well while blending. You can reduce it if the mangoes are very sweet.

Expert Tips

• Use ripe mangoes - I choose mangoes which are fully ripe and has sweet smell. Raw or sour ones need more sugar and the taste will change.
• Cool the milk - I always cool the boiled milk completely before blending. Warm milk makes the lollies icy and they will not set well.
• Blend smooth - I blend the mango and sugar first, then add the milk. This helps to get a smooth puree without any pieces.
• Fill carefully - I pour the mixture into moulds slowly and leave little space on top. It expand when freezing, so do not fill too much.
• Use silver foil - I cover the chocolate mould with silver foil before keeping in freezer. It stops the ice crystals and keep the lollies fresh.
• Demould gently - I press the silicon mould gently and lift the lollies. If it is stuck, hold the mould under tap water for few seconds.

Serving and Storage

Serve this immediately after demoulding and you can enjoy it as a cool snack for kids during summer holidays or after lunch at home. Keep the lollies in the freezer in a closed container or wrapped with silver foil and use within few days for best taste and texture and it stay good when stored properly.
