Instructions
- In a blender, combine the mango chunks, water, honey, fresh lime juice, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of fine sea salt.
- Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and homogenous, about 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey if desired.
- Pour the mango mixture evenly into 8 popsicle molds.
- Insert sticks and freeze the popsicles for at least 5 hours or until completely firm before serving.
Tips
- For a creamier texture, add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of coconut milk or plain yogurt to the blender.
- Use vanilla bean paste instead of extract to add visual specks and a deeper vanilla flavor.
