raspberry-mango popsicles
As April comes to a close and May is nearly upon us, it’s time to shift our thoughts to upcoming lazy summer days, filled with poolside lounging and plenty of cool and creamy treats. These bright pops are bursting with vibrant color and flavor, a perfect harmony of raspberry and mango.
Coconut milk adds creaminess to these honey-sweetened pops; plenty of fresh fruit keeps the feel surprisingly light. Mix up a batch for the weekend or your upcoming Cinco de Mayo bash!
Raspberry-Mango Popsicles
- Yield: 10 popsicles
Ingredients
Raspberry Mixture
- 6.75 ounces full fat coconut milk (half of a 13.5 oz can)
- 1/3 cup honey
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 Tbsp white rum
- 1 1/4 cups raspberries
Mango Mixture
- 6.75 ounces full fat coconut milk (half of a 13.5 oz can)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 1 tsp lime juice
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 Tbsp white rum
- 1 1/4 cups diced mango
Add In
- 1/2 cup raspberries, sliced
Instructions
- For the raspberry layer, combine coconut milk, honey, salt, white rum, and raspberries in a food processor and process until smooth. For the mango layer, combine coconut milk, honey, lime zest, lime juice, salt, white rum, and mango in a food processor and process until smooth.
- Use a liquid measuring cup to fill each mold with a layer of raspberry mixture; freeze for 20 minutes. Top with sliced raspberries; use a liquid measuring cup to fill each mold with a layer of mango mixture; freeze for 20 minutes. Top with remaining raspberry mixture and freeze for 45 minutes, then insert popsicle sticks and freeze overnight. To unmold, let popsicles stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Carefully remove from molds and serve.
Notes
You may have extra mango mixture – layer with vanilla yogurt and top with toasted coconut, cashew & mango granola for a parfait. The white rum prevents the popsicles from freezing too firmly.

Laura, you could market these beauties!! Who could resist??? Send some of that California warmth my way, please 🙂
Delicious colours, gorgeous flavour combination! I’m ready for the warm weather to arrive (soon, please!). 😀
The hot weather got to us all too quickly, 100F yesterday :/ Can you send over a few of these, please??
I love the idea of coconut milk in these! It adds another hint of tropicalness.
A beguiling recipe to take us right into the sunshine filled days of May!
The popsicles are almost (almost!) too gorgeous to eat!
A beautiful flavour combination that takes me right back to summer, on this grey old autumn day!
These are perfect!! And yes, I am so ready to start shifting my focus to summer!! Bring on the warmth and sunshine please!! 🙂
What a beautiful combination. Loved it. Perfect for summers.
I’m a popsicle lover and I have to say raspberries and mangoes are tops on my list of fruit. Yummo.
I wish I could fly North for this Winter! I’ll just keep being inspired by your warm weather treats while we rug up! 😀
These are GORGEOUS, Laura! Total perfection. Those vibrant colors! <3
What STUNNING popsicles! I must make. If you don’t mind me asking – where did you get the molds for these?
So.. pretty Laura, love this color and flavor combination!
I love raspberries and mango together – it’s such a yummy combo and so pretty! Great use of coconut milk here too.
Absolutely perfect popsicles! Love the mango and raspberry with the coconut milk 🙂
This post makes me think of that classic Sublime song, “summertime, and the popsicle eating is easy.” Wait, that’s not the lyric? Well anyway, it reminds me of perfect, lazy summer days. Love these pops!
They look beautiful and delicious, Laura. Summer seems so far away, but it’s a good idea to start thinking about ice-creams, pannacottas and sorbets 😉
Thanks for the recipe! (I may try it with strawberries instead)
I need these beauties in my life now!!
Two of my very very very favorite fruit flavors and also two of my very very favorite colors. Taste and visual stimuli all in a popsicle. Perfect.
These popsicles look SO refreshing and delicious. I love their beautiful ombre colour especially. Yum!
These Popsicles are everything! Vibrant, gorgeous, fruity and packed full of delicious flavors. It’s already hot as heck here in FL, so these Popsicles sound perfect right about now! Thanks for sharing, can’t wait to try these beauties! ♡
