Inspired by the traditional mango lassi, these popsicles blend sweet ripe mango, cooling yogurt, a touch of golden turmeric, and hints of cardamom and honey for a luscious, spiced treat. They're creamy like ice cream, but lighter and packed with probiotic goodness. Perfect for adults and kids alike!
In a high-powered blender, combine:
Mango
Yogurt
Honey or syrup
Turmeric
Cardamom
Lemon/lime juice
Salt
Blend until ultra-smooth. Add coconut milk or regular milk if needed for a pourable consistency.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, tapping gently to remove air bubbles.
Insert sticks and freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or until solid.
To release pops, briefly run the mold under warm water or let sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes.
Enjoy immediately, or store in a sealed container with parchment between layers to prevent sticking.
Use Ataulfo mangoes or frozen Alphonso pulp for the sweetest, most vibrant flavor.
If using frozen mango, thaw slightly before blending for better texture.
Want ultra-creamy? Sub ½ cup of the yogurt for coconut cream or add a few spoonfuls of mascarpone.
Add chia seeds for texture and a nutrition boost
Swirl in fruit puree (like passion fruit or raspberry) before freezing for a ripple effect
Make a layered version by alternating mango mix with plain sweetened yogurt
Serve after: Spicy Indian curries, grilled kebabs, or street food
