Equipment

Ingredients

2½ cups fresh or frozen mangoes
1 cup fresh or frozen pineapples
Juice and zest of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons of juice)
¼ cup condensed milk
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice ( or coconut water)
3 teaspoons tajin seasoning (+ more to garnish)
1 teaspoon chamoy to garnish (classic) Optional

Instructions

Combine the first 5 ingredients in a blender. Add about 1 teaspoon of tajin seasoning. Blend for about a minute or until smooth.
Sprinkle a teaspoon of Tajin mix over the popsicle mold. Evenly distribute the puréed fruits into each well of the popsicle mold. (This recipe should yield 9-10 popsicles depending on how you fill up the molds)
Carefully tap the molds on the countertop to remove any trapped air. Put on the lid, then insert the popsicle sticks, and freeze for at least 6 hours, overnight or until ready to serve.
To serve, release the popsicles from the molds by immersing the bottom of the mold in warm water for 30-60 seconds or setting the mold out on the counter for 3-5 minutes for an easy release.
sprinkle more Tajin over the popsicles, then drizzle with chamoy.
** refreeze individual popsicles for when you need it.

Notes

Top Tips for success

If your popsicle mold doesn’t have a lid, use aluminum foil to cover the mold, then clear tape to secure the sticks so they remain standing. Although mine held up nice because I used frozen fruits, you can equally add ice to thicken the content a bit.
Add a pinch of salt to make the flavors pop even more.
For a longer storage life, place the individually frozen popsicles on a baking sheet, freeze for about an hour, then wrap with plastic wrap, and store in a ziplock bag for when you need them.
Because liquid expands when it freezes, do not fill the molds all the way up. Fill ¾ of the mold or you will end up with a messy surprise.
To release the popsicles from the molds, leave them on the counter for 3-5 minutes or immerse the bottom over warm water until it comes off smoothly.
