COCONUT MANGO POPS
These are inspired by a Mexican treat that coats mango in chile and lime. It's so refreshing and delicious! I like to add a little coconut, in a Southeast Asian-inspired move.

Steps:
- Put the ancho and coconut in an electric spice grinder and pulse until ground. (You don't want it too fine; a tiny bit coarse is great.) Combine this mixture with the lime zest and sugar in a bowl and toss to combine.
- Cut an end from 1 mango so it sits straight. Use a sharp knife to cut down and peel off the skin. Cut the flesh from the mango in planks, getting as close to the pit as you can. Cut the planks into wide pieces (you'll get 5 to 6 pieces out of 1 mango). Repeat with the remaining mango to get 10 to 12 pieces total.
- Stick a lollipop stick in each piece of mango and sprinkle them all over with the coconut-chile mixture. Sprinkle lightly with the flaky salt and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe mangoes: The riper the mangoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your popsicles will be.
- Use fresh coconut milk: Fresh coconut milk will give your popsicles a rich, creamy flavor. You can find it in cans or cartons in the Asian food section of most grocery stores.
- Add some lime juice: Lime juice will help to brighten up the flavors of the mango and coconut.
- Sweeten to your taste: The amount of sugar you add to your popsicles is up to you. If you like your popsicles tart, you can use less sugar. If you like them sweet, you can use more.
- Freeze your popsicles for at least 4 hours: This will ensure that they are completely frozen and solid.
Conclusion:
Mango coconut popsicles are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for a hot summer day. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious snack, give mango coconut popsicles a try.
