Frozen Treat Week has been a few months in the making, and its finally here! Last year, you might remember I hosted a virtual ice cream social. My friend Brandy from Nutmeg Nanny hosted a similar event last year. This year, we decided to team up and co-host together for a week long event filled with not only ice cream but frozen treats in general!
To start things off, I’m sharing this simple 3 ingredient recipe for Mango Raspberry Pops! Yes, just three ingredients and is ready to eat in less than 15 minutes. Nothing like a sweet refreshing treat on a hot summer day. I will be the first to admit that I didn’t enjoy mango‘s until our honeymoon 5 years ago. We were in St. Luica for a week, a beautiful island where the fruit is bountiful. Especially the mangos. Upon arriving to our room in a little boutique hotel perched on top of the mountain that over looked the beautiful Caribbean waters, sat a beautiful fruit plate. Of course on this fruit plate there were a few pieces of sweet sliced mango. My husband dug right in. I ate the fruit that I knew I would enjoy. I of course skipped the mango. After he ate the first slice of mango he couldn’t stop raving about how sweet it was. After his persuasion I took a bite. I was amazed how delicious it was.
On the next day of our trip, we were out in town and I made our driver stop at a road side stand so I could buy mangos. I bought 6 mangos. My husband thought I was crazy. That afternoon as we settled into our cottage we sat in rocking chairs on the front porch and both dug into freshly grown mangos. The picture above was of our fresh fruit plate on our porch. We ordered a fruit plate each day, and also ate a mango each typically during our afternoon snack.
So now that you know my back story about how I fell in love with mangoes on my honeymoon now I can tell you a little bit about this recipe. I’m always looking for easy summer ice pop recipes. One way I can create them is easily and quickly is with my ZOKU pop maker! If you don’t have one and love ice pops you should definitely go invest in one (or enter the giveaway below). This 3-ingredient recipe is super easy to make and quite refreshing on a hot day.

I love your mango story. Your honeymoon looked so dreamy. I’m sad we didn’t take one…boo. Also, I really need to get a Zoku machine. I love the idea of such easy and quick popsicles.
Lauren @ The Thinking Closet
Such great pics of those pops! And I love that you fell in love with mangos on your honeymoon. 🙂
My favorite frozen treat is probably ice cream…but I love a good fruit pop, too!

I love the bright yellow of the mango! Your story about how you fell in love with mangoes is so sweet. Now you always have that memory when you eat a mango slice!

I have a lemon tree and strawberry bushes in my yard; hoping to get this and make some home grown strawberry lemonade popsicles
Faith (An Edible Mosaic)
Mango + raspberry is such a fun combo and your pops look so pretty! Thanks so much for organizing this event with Brandy – you ladies did an awesome job!
Katie
Thanks Faith! And thank you for participating!
Joanne
I’m pretty sure I first tasted (and fell in love with) mangoes in college and I definitely regret the twenty years prior to that that I’d lived without them! I have a few that are just about to ripen and they are definitely going to be turned into popsicles. Yum!
Katie
Agree Joanne–what were we both thinking waiting so long to give them a try?
Windy Phillips
When I was a kid, my absolute favorite were Jello Pops, the fruit varieties. I would love to figure out a copycat recipe for some of those. The combination of the bold fruity flavor with the creamy texture was soooo good.
Rebecca {Foodie with Family}
Those are just so pretty it’s ridiculous! I would love to sink my teeth into about 6 of them!
Katie
Me too, Rebecca! Good thing they are easy to make!
Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious
What a cute honeymoon story! And these pops? YES! I love anything mango!
Katie
Thanks Chung-Ah! The photo I decided to not share was of me, a big hot mango mess… mango juices everywhere as I ate the mango like a little monkey! 😉
Audra | The Baker Chick
I love anything mango and raspberry and this combo sounds to die for! Thanks for organizing this whole week Katie!! 🙂
Katie
Awe thanks Audra! I loved the sweet and tart combo–it works so well and its quick!
Nancy
I like a frozen strawberry slush!
Marnely Rodriguez-Murray
I’m in love with mangoes as well and used to have two mango trees back home! Miss them so much! Great recipe!
Katie
Thanks Marnely! No mango will ever beat the mangos we ate in St. Lucia, but the ones here in the states will do for now!
