🌿 Ingredient Notes for Homemade Mango Popsicles
Mangoes:
Always use ripe and sweet mango, Alphonso mango and Kesar are the best choice.
Honey:
Honey is a much better option than adding sugar. One more benefit is that honey does not freeze.
Salt (a pinch)
Salt enhances the sweetness and balances the overall flavour. Omitting it can produce a less flavorful popsicle, while too much can make it taste salty.
Lime or Lemon Juice
Add a small amount of citric acid or fruit vinegar to add acidity that balances the sweetness.
Water, Coconut Water, or Milk
Water or coconut water makes the mixture a little thin and helps to pour into moulds. Don’t add too much water, it can dilute the mango flavour.
You can add milk instead of water or coconut water for a creamy texture.
