Let’s celebrate the summer with some lush lollies (or popsicles if you’re stateside) bursting with tropical flavours to try and encourage some sunshine in time for the school holidays. I’ve combined thick and creamy coconut yogurt with fresh mango and zesty lime to create these punchy frozen treats. It’s a ridiculously simple recipe, but then we need to keep things simple when the kids are at home for six weeks *shudder*.
I used my Optimum Froothie 9400 power blender to blitz the ingredients together, as it always rustles up the smoothest of creamy textures. The boys love making their own smoothies, but I think now I have my new popsicle mould their next kitchen obsession will be coming up with lots of different creations.
Mango, Coconut and Lime Popsicles
Makes 8
Prep time: 10 mins

Put the yogurt in your blender. Chop the mango into chunks and chuck them in next. Zest the lime in and then squeeze the juice in to finish. Blitz until smooth. Pour in lolly moulds and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours. Turn out and enjoy!

Ooh, I love the simplicity of this and such refreshing flavours too!
Thanks Cathy… it’s very zingy!
Oooh gorgeous flavour combination! I did some mango, lime and yoghurt ice lollies recently, but no coconut element, like that a lot. Such a big ice lolly fan!
I love all your ice cream and lollies you do Kavey… I’m feeling really inspired to try loads of different flavour combos with the boys this summer!
These look and sound just fabulous. Love the flavours you’ve chosen. I have the moulds, but no room in my freezer, so I haven’t had a chance to try them out yet.
Thanks so much! Yes it does take up quite a lot of space, but def worth it!
These look so simple but so yummy….will def have a go…another summer project x
It’s so easy it’s ridiculous. Summer projects are the best!
OK I definitely need a traditional set of lolly moulds (and room in my teeny freezer) these sound amazing Katie! Pinned, tweeted, yummed and stumbled!
Heheheh you SO do Jac! Thanks! xxx
Perfect flavour combination, everything is better with coconut milk 🙂
Thanks Janice!
Sounds super simple and really fabulous flavours. Good idea to use coconut yoghurt.
Thanks Sally… the yogurt is such a nice thick and creamy one with bits of coconut in – divine!
Oh my word these look absolutely delicious! Anything with coconut is a winner with me!
