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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
