These mango-cherry popsicles are going down in history as the first mango treat that my son finished to the last bit. I have mentioned many a times earlier how he refuses to eat mangoes and how I had given up on trying to make him enjoy this tropical fruit. I guess, with these popsicles, we have finally overcome this hurdle to a certain extent.

Sharing the recipe for these creamy Mango-Cherry Popsicles

Recipe makes 10 popsicles

Ingredients:

• Mango – 2, puréed/chopped roughly
• Cashew nuts – 1 cup, soaked in 1 cup water for 2 hours
• Cherries – 10 to 15, pitted & halved

Instructions:

1. Blend the soaked cashew nuts to a fine paste along with the water it was soaked in.
2. Add the mango chunks/purée and blend again to a smooth consistency. Adjust consistency to a pouring one by adding water if required.
3. Check the taste of the mix. Adding sweetener at this stage is totally optional and totally depends on the sweetness of the mangoes used.
4. Pour the mix into moulds. Insert ice cream sticks in each one of them.
5. Freeze for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight. Enjoy through the hot summer days.

Tips & tricks:

1. Alternatively coconut milk can also be used instead of water.
2. I would recommend you to use the silicon ice cream moulds for making these popsicles. They are so easy to unmould that it feels like magic. Unlike the traditional moulds, you don’t need to use running water or rubbing the mould with palms to warm up the surface of the mould.
