CALYPSO® MANGO ICY POLES – THREE WAYS

Serves: 10
Prep time: 15 mins + overnight freezing
Cook time: 0 mins

Ingredients

• 3 Calypso® mangoes
• 1 cup (250ml) cloudy apple juice
• 2 tbs (40ml) honey

Method
Peel and chop the mango flesh. Blend with apple juice and honey until smooth. Spoon into 10 popsicle moulds, insert sticks, and freeze overnight. Remove from moulds and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Flavour Twists

Coconut Mango Pops – Swap apple juice for coconut cream. Half-dip in melted milk chocolate and sprinkle with toasted coconut. Freeze until firm.

Chilli Lime Mango Pops – Replace apple juice with lime juice and add ½–1 tsp chilli flakes. Drizzle with melted dark chocolate and a sprinkle of chilli-lime salt before freezing.

Tip: To make chilli-lime salt, process 3 tsp dried chilli flakes and zest of 2 limes, then pulse with ½ cup sea salt flakes until combined.
