Mango Orange Popsicles

With the beautiful weather we are spending lots of time outside.  We are also enjoying more frozen treats!  I love to make popsicles for my boys and today I’m sharing with you a recipe for Mango Orange Popsicles.  With it being Ramadan, I find these popsicles make a wonderful dessert.  They are light and refreshing!

This time of year, we get lots of delicious mangos which we usually eat as is but it is also nice to use them in different ways like these popsicles.  A simple sugar syrup is used to sweeten these popsicles.  I think you could even reduce the sugar slightly and they would still be delicious.

If you love to make popsicles as much as I do, here are some more recipes to try!

Now for the recipe for the Mango Orange Popsicles!
