Dessert just got an upgrade! I am excited to share these Mango Popsicles with you! The inside is creamy and the outside has the perfect white chocolate coconut crunch shell. Not only are these a healthier-for-you option, but they are DELICIOUS and incredibly easy to make. You will honestly question why you would even shop the frozen aisle anymore.
These popsicles are one of my favorite frozen treats to make, and what sets them apart is how simple they are without compromising on flavor or texture. You will love how creamy the thick coconut cream and mango base becomes once blended – smooth and rich, yet naturally sweetened with honey. No ice cream maker? No problem! Just a blender and a little freezer time, and you will have these delicious popsicles ready to enjoy.
The best part? The satisfying crunch of the chocolate coating with coconut adds an irresistible contrast to the creamy ice cream. This recipe is a fun and easy way to create something that feels special, whether you are treating yourself or sharing with loved ones. Plus, these bars are packed with protein and made with clean ingredients, so you can feel good about every bite!
The last time I bought a store bought ice cream I was looking forward to eating it after dinner at ice cream time! Unfortunately, it was pretty disappointing. It was overly sweet and all I could taste was sugar. So I took matters into my own hands and made a much healthier, refined sugar-free version, which I think is way more delicious!
Next time you buy ice cream bars at the super market you can check the ingredients. You will be surprised by how many ingredients are used. Besides lots of chemicals and flavour extracts (or natural flavours!!) Yeah right! You will find a ton of sugar in them. This quickly loads up to about 20 g of sugar per ice cream. And all of this in one single ice cream!
Of course, not every single ice cream has this nutritional value, but there are simple and easy ways to choose a healthier ice cream, simply make it yourself.
Delicious serving suggestions:
As a summer treat: Perfect for hot days when you crave something creamy and cold.
With extra toppings: Add a drizzle of melted chocolate, chopped peanuts, more shredded coconut or even some sprinkles for a fun twist.
For kids: A fun, hands-on treat that kids will love making and eating. Let them choose their own toppings to add to the melted chocolate coating.
Party snacks: These popsicles are a fun, crowd-pleasing dessert to serve at gatherings.
Post-workout snack: Packed with protein, they are a great way to refuel after a workout.
On-the-go dessert: Wrap them individually for an easy, grab-and-go frozen dessert.

Mango Coconut Protein Popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 13.5 oz can coconut cream, fullfat (solid part only) *see note below
- 1 cup mango, fresh or frozen (thaw first if using frozen)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
White Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/4 cup desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Note: Place the can of coconut cream or milk in the fridge or freezer for at least 1-2 hours before making these bars to allow coconut cream to separate.When ready to make the ice cream bars, open chilled can and scoop out the cream that has separated and set hard on the top. Save the remaining coconut water to use in a smoothie, drink, or discard.Add hardened coconut cream, mango, honey and vanilla into a food processor and process until creamy and smooth.Pour the mixture into 6-8 popsicle molds (more or less depending on size of popsicle molds) and add popsicle sticks. Freeze until solid, at least 4 hours.Once popsicles are frozen make the chocolate coating.
Chocolate Coating
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in tall glass (to make dunking easier) and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.Stir in shredded coconut until well combined.Remove the bars from the molds and place onto a parchment-lined tray. Working quickly, dip the bars one at a time into the white chocolate coconut mixture, using a spoon to help coat as needed. You can either fully coat the bars or dip them halfway. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then return the bars to the parchment-lined tray.Place the bars back into the freezer for 10-20 minutes for the white chocolate to harden. Serve immediately or keep in a freezer-safe container in the freezer to enjoy later.
