Sweet, rich mango lime lassi ice lollies made with fresh mango, lime zest, yoghurt and honey.
Ice lolly/popsicle season has started. To kick off I used one of my favourite fruits which is in season to make some ice lollies. Mangoes!!! It is raining mangoes in the supermarkets and they are on offer as well. I love Mangoes. Who doesn’t?? I will side eye anyone who doesn’t. Naturally sweet, delicious and creamy. Mangoes are delicious in smoothies, sorbets, they can be used to make luscious salsas and my favourite ice lollies. As I type I am sipping on a mango and blueberry smoothie.
With it being almost summer and the weather warming up, I am starting to crave cold food and desserts. Nothing better than a cold ice lolly, smoothie or ice cream in the warm sun.
This recipe is quite simple, you know how I love simple. It takes just 4 ingredients to make this mango lime lassi ice lollies. What you will need for this is 3 large mangoes, zest of 1 lime , yoghurt and honey(or any sweetener of your choice) to taste. I got 650 grams of mango flesh from the 3 mangoes.
Puree the mango flesh, then mix in lime zest and yoghurt. Add honey to take. Pour into your ice lolly mold. I bought mine from Amazon. Chill the mango lime lassi in the freezer for at least four hours. If you haven’t got an ice lolly mold, you can make yours using disposable cups and wooden sticks. Simples!!! The disposable cup method really works for me because I sometimes eat ice lollies with a spoon. Just smoosh the lolly up till it’s soft, the consistency of a slushy then eat.
These mango lime lassi ice lollies are fruity, creamy, sweet, cold and perfect for warm weather. Enjoy!!

My wife was just talking about mango lassi the other night…and now I see these incredible pops! And funny enough, we have a whole box of mangoes sitting in our kitchen right now. I clearly need to get going and make a batch of these. I love how easy they are!
ChiChi Dodoo says
Mango lassi is the best. Lucky you havinga whole box of mangoes, they don’t last very long in my house. You definitely have to make some.
