Tips & Tricks for Strawberry Mango Popsicles
Fresh or Frozen Fruit
You will find this recipe works with both fresh and frozen fruit. Go right ahead and use whichever you have or prefer. If you are using frozen fruit, there is no need to thaw the fruit. Just mix it up still frozen.
Sweetener
I used honey to sweeten the popsicles a bit. If your fruit is pretty ripe, you might find that it is sweet enough as is, and you won't need to add in the honey.
Alternatively, you can also sweeten your popsicles with agave or an artificial sweetener.
Variations to Strawberry Mango Popsicles
Mix In Other Fruit
As with any fruit popsicles, you will find that this popsicle recipe is very easy to adapt. Feel free to mix in raspberries, diced peaches, kiwi fruit, etc. Have fun and create layers of flavors, or mix the fruit all together before pouring it into your molds.
Yogurt
Another change you could make to your popsicle is using flavored yogurt. You could mix some strawberry yogurt with the strawberry side of the popsicles and vanilla yogurt with the mango mixture. Get creative!
Strawberry Mango Recipe FAQs
How to remove popsicles from the popsicle molds?
One of the easiest ways to unmold a popsicle is to run the mold under warm water for just a few seconds. The warm water thaws the popsicle just enough so that the popsicle slides out easily.
How long does it take a popsicle to freeze?
The time it takes to freeze a popsicle depends on the size of your molds and how cold your freezer is. On average, it takes 4–6 hours for your popsicles to freeze completely. Letting them set overnight in the freezer will make it easy to ensure your homemade popsicles are fully set up.
How long do popsicles stay good for?
You can store the popsicles in the freezer for around 3–4 months. If you store them any longer, you will notice ice crystals beginning to form and the popsicles beginning to go bad.
