🧊 How to Make Mango Passion Fruit Popsicles
Step 1: Blend the Mangoes
Add mango chunks to a blender and blend until completely smooth. If needed, add a splash of orange juice to help the blending and enhance sweetness.
Step 2: Prepare the Passion Fruit
Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp into a bowl. No need to strain — the seeds add crunch and authenticity!
Step 3: Layer the Mixtures
Pour a spoonful of mango puree into your popsicle molds, then add a little passion fruit pulp. Repeat the layers until molds are full — this gives a gorgeous marbled effect.
Step 4: Freeze
Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
To remove, dip molds in cold water for 20–30 seconds. Gently pull out and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
