Cherries, mangoes, and a hint of lime come together in this cherry mango popsicles recipe. Go grab some popsicles molds and a food processor, and you can make these easy 4 ingredient ice pops. Blend the fruit separately to create layered mango cherry popsicles or blend it all together to make pretty pink mango cherry pops. Either way, they are delicious!
If you’ve ever tried the Budget Saver Cherry Mango Monster Pops at Walmart, you know that cherry and mango provide a flavor combination that is a match made in heaven! My tasty recipe uses real fruit and unrefined sweeteners, skipping the artificial colors, artificial flavors, and high fructose corn syrup.
Just blend the simple ingredients, freeze it in a novelty ice pop mold, and the kids will love it!
🥭 How to Make Cherry Mango Popsicles
Here’s what you need to make my cherry mango popsicles recipe:
- 1 cup frozen cherries (pitted dark sweet cherries)
- 2 cups fresh ripe mango (I used about 2 Champagne mangoes)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- Pinch of lime zest (optional; mint may also be used)

Use overripe mango if possible to maximize the sweetness in this recipe. Popsicle recipes are extremely flexible, so don’t be afraid to experiment!
For example, substitute peaches or pineapple for the mango. Try frozen strawberries instead of cherries. Use coconut milk, coconut water, fruit juice, yogurt, lemonade, limeade, or agave syrup in place of the maple syrup.
To make the popsicles, here are the simple step-by-step instructions:
- Put everything into a food processor or blender and blend until completely smooth. You may have to stop the food processor to scrape down ingredients stuck to the sides and then continue blending.
- Pour the mixture into ice pop molds, add the popsicle sticks, and freeze for several hours (or overnight). Then all you have to do is remove your dessert from the freezer and enjoy. 🙂
Silicone popsicle molds are great for these because the pops release so easily from them. Run warm water over hard plastic molds for fruit lollies if needed to help release them.
For a fun variation, blend the fruits separately and alternate cherry layers and mango layers in your ice pop molds.

Notes
💭 Expert Tips from Dietitian Summer Yule
This is a level 1 recipe (may help support fat loss). The precise calorie count and nutrition information for this recipe depends on factors like the size of your pop molds and how small you cut your fruit. In general, fruit popsicles made with whole fruits are a healthy snack for kids and a good snack for fat loss. They tend to be low in calories and must be eaten slowly (mindfully). These ice lollies are rich in the antioxidant vitamins A and C as well as fiber and potassium. Picky eaters who resist fruits and veggies tend to enjoy ice pops. These popsicles also fit many special diets, such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free. This is the sort of tasty and healthy treat that may work well for the whole family. Though mangoes and cherries have natural sugars and are not low carb fruits, you can make these popsicles with no added sugar. Simply substitute the maple syrup for your favorite liquid low carb sweetener. Nutrition information is for one serving of the recipe.
