Fluffy Yogurt Mango Swirl (Printable)

Creamy yogurt and ripe mango blended and frozen into refreshing summer treats with a swirled finish.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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

# How-To Steps:

01 - Combine mango cubes, honey, and lime juice in blender. Process until completely smooth. Transfer to separate container.
02 - In medium mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy texture forms.
03 - Spoon alternating layers of yogurt mixture and mango purée into popsicle molds. Using skewer or butter knife, gently swirl layers together to create marbled effect throughout.
04 - Insert popsicle sticks into center of each mold. Place in freezer for minimum 4 hours until completely solid.
05 - Run popsicle molds briefly under warm running water to loosen pops. Gently push sticks upward to release from molds.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They taste decadent enough for a fancy dessert but require zero cooking skill and practically no effort.
  • The tangy yogurt cuts through the mango's sweetness in a way that feels refreshing rather than heavy, even on the hottest days.
  • You can make a whole batch in fifteen minutes and forget about them in the freezer until you actually need a treat.
02 -
  • Don't skip the whisking step with the yogurt because it genuinely changes the texture from dense to airy, and that difference is everything between an okay popsicle and one you'll actually crave.
  • Mango ripeness makes or breaks this recipe, so buy them a day or two before and let them sit at room temperature until they yield slightly to thumb pressure and smell almost perfumy.
03 -
  • If your popsicle sticks keep falling over or sliding around, freeze the molds for just one hour before inserting them so the mixture is partially frozen and will hold them upright without wobbling.
  • The moment you finish swirling your pops, resist the urge to swirl further because overmixing will blur the beautiful marbled effect into a muddy color that's less visually exciting.
