These homemade mango yogurt popsicles are creamy, refreshing, and so easy to make. With just fruit and yogurt, they’re a wholesome frozen treat that works as a light dessert, a healthy snack, or even a fun summer breakfast.
It’s officially popsicle season! Mango is my summer go-to, whether it’s blended into frosty margaritas, tossed in a zesty salsa, or frozen into creamy homemade popsicles.
These frozen treats are creamy, vibrant, and full of tropical flavor. Simply layer sweet mango puree and tangy yogurt, then give it a quick swirl. The hardest part? Waiting for them to freeze!
Recipe Highlights
- Wholesome ingredients: Made with real fruit and yogurt, they’re a healthier option than store-bought popsicles.
- Customizable: Swap the fruit or add toppings. Try my green smoothie popsicles for a fun variation.
- Make-ahead friendly: Keep a batch in the freezer for quick snacks on hot days.
Key Ingredients & Easy Swaps
- Mango: Fresh, ripe mango gives the best flavor. Look for vibrant yellow, orange, or red skin that is slightly soft to the touch and sweet-smelling near the stem. Frozen mango works too; just thaw and drain any extra liquid.
- Fruit juice: Pineapple juice adds a tropical note, but orange juice, apple juice, or coconut water are great alternatives.
- Yogurt: Full-fat plain yogurt makes the popsicles extra creamy. You can also use vanilla yogurt, Greek yogurt thinned with a little milk, or a dairy-free option like coconut or almond yogurt.
- Honey: Sweeten to taste. Flavored yogurt may not need extra sweetener. For a vegan version, replace with maple syrup or agave nectar.
See the recipe card below for a detailed ingredient list and step-by-step instructions.
How to Make Mango Yogurt Popsicles
- Blend the mango with pineapple juice until smooth. Use an immersion blender, a food processor, or a regular blender.
- Mix the yogurt with honey, adjusting the sweetness to taste.
- Layer into molds, alternating spoonfuls of mango and yogurt. Leave a little space at the top, as the mixture will expand as it freezes.
- Swirl the layers gently with a skewer or knife.
- Insert the sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
No Popsicle Molds?
You can still make these! Try:
- Yogurt containers or paper cups: Cover with foil, place the sticks through the foil, and freeze.
- Muffin tins or ice cube trays: Fill each compartment, cover, and put in the sticks.
- Loaf pan: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan, add sticks at regular intervals, and slice into popsicles once frozen.
Recipe Variations
- Fruit swaps: Replace the mango with frozen berries, passion fruit, pineapple, or peach.
- Toppings: Drizzle with melted dark chocolate, sprinkle with chopped nuts or granola, or dip in shredded coconut.
- Make them vegan: Use coconut yogurt and sweeten with maple syrup or agave nectar.
How to Unmold Popsicles
- Water bath method: Fill a bowl with warm (not hot) water. Dip the mold for 30 seconds, then gently pull on the sticks. Repeat if needed, but don’t leave them too long, or the popsicles will start to melt.
- Running water method: Hold the mold under warm running water for 30 seconds, then gently pull on the sticks.
If the popsicles soften slightly while unmolding, place them on a tray lined with parchment and freeze for 15–20 minutes before serving.
Storage Tips
Wrap each popsicle in parchment paper and place them in a freezer bag or airtight container. They will keep well for up to 2 months.

Equipment
Instructions
Mango layer

Yogurt layer
- In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt and honey until well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
Assemble the popsicles
- Add about 1 tablespoon of mango puree into each popsicle mold, then top with 1 tablespoon of yogurt. Repeat the layers until almost full, leaving a little space at the top so the mixture has room to expand as it freezes.

- Fruit juice: Pineapple juice adds tropical flavor. Orange juice, apple juice, or coconut water can also be used.

Mango is my favorite fruit so of course I love these popsicles. And the yogurt gives a bit of additional protein which I like.
These mango yogurt popsicles are tasty, refreshing, and delicious! Such a great combination of tropical mango with creamy yogurt.
I made these for my kids and they loved them. I did not have pineapple juice so instead used coconut water. The flavor was great!
My usual recipe for mango popsicles doesn’t include pineapple juice, but I just bought a ton of it for pina coladas so I used the rest here and loved them. Will be making these often.
Mmmm these were DELICIOUS! So creamy and luscious all the while being so incredibly easy to make! Definitely putting these on repeat!
Make sure to use ripen sweet mangos for the best flavor! I used a semi sweet one the first time around and it just wasn’t the same. Great recipe! Easy and tasty.
These popsicles were the perfect summer treat and I really love that they are made with real mango!
These homemade popsicles have the sweetness from the mango and the creaminess from the yogurt layer and come together perfectly for one cool treat!
I really love making snacks for my kiddos (and myself) that are not full of preservatives and sugar. Delicious and easy recipe, but I also like that I can use other fruits in the mix.
Absolutely delicious! My kids absolutely love mango and we make mango smoothies all the time. This is the best upgrade and I love that it’s filling! I use coconut milk yogurt.
These popsicles look and sound amazing! I would want to eat the entire batch!
These sound so good! I love mangoes and the addition of the pineapple adds a little bit more sweetness. Thanks for sharing!
