Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Unflavored gelatin |
| 1/3 | Non-fat vanilla yogurt |
| 2 | Ripe mangoes (peeled and diced) |
| 1 | Cup peach or apricot nectar |
Instructions
-
Prepare Gelatin: In a small saucepan, combine the unflavored gelatin with the peach or apricot nectar, ensuring the gelatin is evenly distributed within the liquid. Allow this mixture to stand for about 5 minutes to let the gelatin bloom.
-
-
Dissolve Gelatin: After the standing time, place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the mixture gently until the gelatin has completely dissolved, taking care not to let it boil, which could affect the texture.
-
Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the gelatin mixture with the non-fat vanilla yogurt and the drained mango pieces. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined, creating a luscious, creamy texture.
-
Fill Cups: Spoon the mango mixture into eight 3-ounce paper cups. Be generous with your portions, as you want each pop to be full of delicious mango flavor.
-
Cover and Insert Sticks: Cover each cup with a small piece of foil. To prepare for inserting the sticks, cut a small slit in the center of each foil cover. This slit will hold the rounded wooden stick in place.
-
Freeze: Insert a stick into each cup through the foil slit, ensuring it stands upright. Place the cups in the freezer and allow the pops to freeze for 4 to 6 hours or until they are firm and ready to serve.
-
Serve: When you’re ready to enjoy these delightful mango pops, remove the foil covers and gently tear away the paper cups from the frozen pops. Serve immediately for a refreshing treat that is sure to bring smiles to faces of all ages!
