Key Ingredients & Substitutions

Mango: Choose very ripe mangoes for the best flavor. One large or two medium should suffice. This recipe also works well with nectarines- four to five medium fruits are ideal. Peel, pit, and dice the fruit before blending.

Mango Nectar: Adds a smooth, sweet base to the puree. If unavailable, substitute with orange juice or another fruit nectar of your choice.

Blueberries: Fresh blueberries provide a juicy burst in every bite. Frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained beforehand.

Agave Nectar or Maple Syrup: Optional, depending on the sweetness of your fruit. Add to taste after blending.

Helpful Tips

Blending: Blend the diced fruit with mango nectar until completely smooth. Taste the puree and add the sweetener at that point, if needed.

Incorporating the Blueberries: After blending, stir in the whole blueberries gently to maintain their shape and provide texture. If you're too rough, you will smush the berries!

Freezing: Pour the mixture into ice pop molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion. Insert sticks and freeze for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight.

Unmolding: To release the pops, run a bit of warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. This will help them release more easily. (These were made with this set of popsicle molds!)

Variations

Mixed Berries: Replace blueberries with a mix of raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries for a different berry profile.
Herbal Infusion: Add a few mint or basil leaves to the fruit puree for an herbal twist.
Creamy Texture: Blend in a small amount of coconut milk or yogurt for a creamier consistency.
Citrus Zest: Incorporate a teaspoon of lemon or lime zest into the puree for added brightness.
