Fluffy Yogurt Mango Swirl (Printable Version)

Creamy Greek yogurt and mango purée frozen together creating refreshing, fruity pops perfect for warm days.

# Ingredient List:

→ Yogurt Base

01 - 2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt
02 - 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Mango Swirl

04 - 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
05 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
06 - 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Combine mango cubes, honey, and lime juice in blender. Process until completely smooth and transfer to a bowl.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
03 - Spoon alternating layers of yogurt mixture and mango purée into popsicle molds. Using a skewer or butter knife, gently swirl the two layers together to create a marbled effect throughout.
04 - Insert popsicle sticks into each mold and place in freezer for at least 4 hours until completely solid.
05 - Briefly run the exterior of molds under warm water to loosen pops, then push sticks upward to release from molds.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like a fancy frozen dessert but come together in barely 15 minutes of actual work.
  • The Greek yogurt keeps you satisfied, not just temporarily cooled, which feels like a small victory on hot days.
  • You control the sweetness and can actually taste the mango instead of just eating flavored ice.
02 -
  • If you freeze these completely before inserting sticks, they become nearly impossible to push in; an hour of partial freezing is the sweet spot where the mixture holds the stick upright without being rock solid.
  • Mangoes vary wildly in sweetness depending on variety and origin, so taste your purée before freezing—you might need slightly more or less honey than the recipe suggests.
03 -
  • Store these in a freezer bag once fully frozen so they don't absorb freezer odors—they keep for weeks this way and taste just as good as day one.
  • If you're serving these at a gathering, remove them from the freezer about five minutes before people eat them; they'll be easier to handle and the flavors will taste less muted.
