Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 230 g ripe mango pulp
  • 50 g cold coconut milk solid white part

Spices and Sauces:

  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon finely grated lime zest

Preparation Time

  • Total Time: 4 hours and 5 minutes (including freezing time)
  • Active Time: 5 minutes

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Start by cutting each avocado in half and removing the pit. Use a spoon to scoop the avocado flesh out of its skin and place it into a blender.

  2. Next, add the mango pulp to the blender along with the cooled solid part of coconut milk.

  3. Squeeze the juice from one lime, ensuring no seeds fall in, and add it to the blender for a fresh, zesty kick.

  4. Drizzle in the honey to contrast the zesty lime with a natural sweetener that also complements the mango's sweetness.

  5. Add the vanilla extract for a depth of flavor and the finely grated lime zest for an extra citrusy aroma.

  6. Blend all the ingredients until smooth, ensuring no chunks remain for the creamy consistency that's characteristic of a good frozen dessert.

  7. Once you have a creamy, homogenous mixture, take six popsicle molds and distribute the mixture evenly among them.

  8. Carefully insert sticks into each mold, ensuring they stand upright so your frozen treats are easy to handle once set.

  9. Place the filled molds in the freezer for at least four hours, or until they are fully set. Overnight freezing works best if time permits.

  10. When ready to serve, fill a bowl with hot water and dip each mold quickly, just for a few seconds. This helps in easily releasing the popsicles.

  11. Carefully remove each frozen delight from its mold, holding the stick gently to keep it intact.

  12. Place the avocado mango treats on a serving plate or enjoy them fresh out of the mold.

  13. If desired, further embellish these treats with a sprinkle of coconut flakes or a drizzle of chocolate for an additional layer of flavor.

  14. These frozen treats can be stored in the freezer wrapped individually if you plan to consume them over multiple days.

  15. Remember not to keep them out of the freezer for extended periods as they will start to melt.

  16. Enjoy these Avocado Mango Frozen Delights as an afternoon snack, post-meal dessert, or whenever the craving for something sweet and cold hits.

  17. Each bite brings a burst of tropical flavors perfectly balanced by the creamy avocado.

  18. Experience the joy of homemade treats that are both healthy and satisfying.

  19. Feel free to experiment with added ingredients like chia seeds or nuts if desired.

  20. Savor the simplicity and wholesomeness of this delightful frozen dessert.
