Step-by-step
Grown-up steps
- Place the frozen mangoes, coconut milk, and pineapple juice in the blender.
- A grown-up can help younger kids blend the creamsicle together until it’s creamy and smooth.
- Give it a taste test. If you’d like it thinner, you can add extra pineapple juice or coconut milk. Or, if you’d like it sweeter, add a teaspoon or two of honey. Blend again.
- Pour into glasses and drink right away. Or, pour into pop molds and freeze overnight.
