Description

Frozen Yogurt Dipped Mango Pops are a refreshing and healthy treat perfect for warm days. Juicy mango cubes are skewered, frozen briefly, dipped in a sweet vanilla Greek yogurt mixture, then topped with delightful toppings like mini chocolate chips, slivered almonds, or toasted coconut before being frozen again until set. This simple, no-bake recipe combines natural fruit sweetness with creamy yogurt for a guilt-free dessert or snack.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe mangos
  • 1 cup nonfat Vanilla Greek yogurt made with Real California Milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Toppings (choose as desired)

  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Slivered almonds
  • Sprinkles
  • Toasted coconut
  • Granola

Special Equipment

  • Wooden popsicle sticks
  • Wax paper-lined baking sheet


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mangos: Using a sharp knife, slice off the sides of each mango carefully, avoiding the large central seed. Then, cut parallel slices into the mango halves to create a diced pattern without cutting through the skin.
  2. Skewer Mango Cubes: Scoop out the diced mango cubes from the skin using a spoon. Skewer each mango cube onto a wooden lollipop stick. Place the skewered mango cubes on a baking sheet lined with wax paper, and freeze them for 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Make Yogurt Coating: In a bowl, stir together the nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt and honey until fully combined and smooth. This will provide a sweet and creamy coating for the mango pops.
  4. Dip Mango Pops in Yogurt: Remove the partially frozen mango sticks from the freezer and dip each mango cube into the yogurt mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Use a spoon as needed to help evenly spread the yogurt over the mango cubes.
  5. Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle your choice of toppings such as mini chocolate chips, slivered almonds, sprinkles, toasted coconut, or granola onto the yogurt-coated mango cubes before placing them back on the wax paper-lined baking sheet.
  6. Freeze Until Set: Place the baking sheet with the coated mango pops into the freezer. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until the mango pops are slightly frozen and the yogurt coating is firm and set.
  7. Serve: Remove from freezer and serve these delightful frozen yogurt dipped mango pops as a refreshing, healthy treat.

Notes

  • Choose very ripe mangos for the best sweetness and texture.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Ensure mango cubes are frozen slightly before dipping to prevent yogurt from sliding off.
  • Use wax paper to prevent the pops from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • Store leftover pops in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
