Ingredients
Popsicle:
- 2 1/2 cups green mango , peeled and chopped
- 1 cup raisins , soaked in warm water for 30 mins
- 1 cup mint , fresh and lightly packed
- 3 1/2 cup water , based on pulp of mango
- honey , as needed
- 2 tsp roasted cumin powder
- 1 1/2 tsp black salt
- salt , to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper
- lemon juice , optional for tartness
Garnish:
- 1/2 tsp black salt
- 1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder
- 1/4 tsp red chili powder
Instructions
Instant Pot:
-
In an Instant Pot, add the green mangoes, drained raisins, and 1/2 cup of water. Put the lid on and seal the vent. Pressure cook for 5 minutes on high in manual mode and then quick release it. I used the 3 quart instant pot, but if you are using the 6 quart one, it should only take 3 minutes.
-
Let the mixture cool and come to room temperature and blend it with the mint, spices, and another 1/2 cup of water.
-
Transfer the mixture to a separate bowl and add in the remaining water. Be careful not to add all the water at once because we want the consistency to be a little thicker. Instead, add the water gradually and stir constantly, adjusting the water content based on the pulp of your mango.
-
Add in the honey. If your mangoes aren’t very sour, feel free to add some freshly squeezed lemon juice. Keep the seasoning on the higher side because they tend to mellow out after freezing.
-
Pour the mixture into your popsicle molds and insert the popsicle sticks. I would recommend soaking the popsicle sticks for a few hours prior, to make them heavier and help them stand straight in the mold. Freeze them for 6-8 hours in the freezer.
-
Mix together your garnish ingredients and lightly sprinkle the popsicle with the spices before serving! Enjoy!
Stovetop:
-
Add the green mangoes, drained raisins, and 1/2 cup of water into your pressure cook. Cook for 2 whistles, with one whistle on high heat and another on medium. Let the pressure naturally release.

Recipe Notes
- Don’t strain your mango mixture after cooking it because the fibers add flavor to the popsicles. It would also become very thin.
- If you want to use a microwave instead of a pressure cooker or instant pot, simply add the mangoes, raisins, and 1/2 cup of water in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes, based on your microwave temperature. The mangoes should be fork tender before blending.
