These creamy mango coconut chia pudding popsicles are a refreshing, tropical frozen treat made with simple ingredients like ripe mangoes, coconut milk, and chia seeds. They are easy to make, nourishing, and perfect for hot summer days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, shaken well
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Place the peeled and chopped mango into a blender or food processor. Add the fresh lime juice and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add a splash of coconut milk if needed to help blend.
  2. Pour the mango puree into a mixing bowl. Add the full-fat coconut milk, honey or maple syrup if using, and a pinch of salt. Whisk everything together until fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Sprinkle in the chia seeds and stir well to distribute evenly. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to break up any gelled lumps.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until the mixture thickens to a pudding consistency. Stir in a little more coconut milk if too thick.
  5. Stir the pudding again, then spoon it into popsicle molds, leaving space at the top for expansion. Insert sticks and place molds on a flat surface in the freezer.
  6. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until solid. To serve, run warm water over the molds for 10-15 seconds to loosen the popsicles before removing.

Notes

Do not skip the chia soaking stage to avoid watery popsicles. Taste mango puree before adding sweetener to adjust sweetness. Use full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess. Rinse molds with warm water before filling for easier release. Variations include adding berries, cocoa powder, or greens for different flavors.
