Volume 4 of my summer popsicle miniseries is all about Mango-Kiwi Popsicles! The flavor combination of a sweet, ripe mango base and slightly tart kiwi pieces are unreal. Made with no added sugar, these treats are both easy and addictive.
The Coined Breakdown
- Total Cost per serving: $0.89
- Total Cost (8 popsicles): $7.09
- Those Other Guys: $4.00 per popsicle
Ingredients
- Fresh Mango - Juicy, ripe mangoes are going to give these popsicles all of the sweetness we need. You can use fresh or frozen.
- Fresh Kiwi - I definitely recommend fresh kiwi for this recipe, especially so you can slice them up and add any extras to the popsicles!
- Lemon Juice - Lemon or lime juice gives the popsicles a little acidity to cut all of the sweetness; plus, it reduces the “icy” texture you’d normally get with freezing fruit. It’s a small addition that truly works overtime in making a beautifully-textured popsicle.
How to Make Mango-Kiwi Popsicles from Scratch
Homemade popsicles are super simple to make. You just drop everything in a blender, pour the mixture into molds, and freeze!
Step 1: Start out by adding your chopped fruit, lemon juice, and water to a blender.
Blend until you have a smooth, thin liquid.
Step 2: Pour into a popsicle mold, stopping about an inch before the top so you can add in a fresh kiwi slice.
Freeze overnight, and enjoy!
Recipe FAQs
To easily remove popsicles from their mold, simply run some warm water over the bottom of the molds for about a minute. Using silicone molds, you can also slightly “peel” the mold away from the edges. Pull the popsicles out, and you’re good to go!
Sure! Try strawberry-mango, pineapple-mango, or any other fruit you really enjoy.
Most popsicle molds come with individual cellophane bags to wrap them in. You can store them, wrapped, right in the freezer.
In a pinch, feel free to add the popsicles to a large freezer-safe bag.
