Four Mango Plum Popsicle on a serving plateGuys, I have to confess something to all of you! It is so hard to photograph popsicles. Oh, man… I made about three popsicle recipes, but this one was the only recipe that I could photograph well. My first recipe was a blueberry yogurt popsicle which was so delicious, but unfortunately, the pictures were terrible. They were melting all over the place and I couldn’t take ONE SINGLE nice picture. Do you believe that? I think my problem started from the moment I removed the popsicles from the molds. I left the mold under warm water for too long. So, when I removed them from the molds, they were already melting. I tried to take a few very fast photos but it didn’t go anywhere.

how to make Mango Plum Popsicle - blending the mangos, adding them to popsicle mold, and freezingA few days later, I made the same popsicle recipe, but again, the photos were not nice. The popsicles tasted really good but in the pictures looked very ugly, because they melted very quickly again. So, I decided to try another recipe and this time, I was fast enough to take the pictures with nice popsicles. As I said before, I never thought it was so hard to take popsicle pictures. I should read some tips on how to take nice pictures of popsicle recipes before trying to take one! But this time, I filled a plate with ice so they didn’t melt too fast. I think it is a very good strategy 😉

Close up of Mango Plum PopsicleI know it is already mid-August and summer is almost gone, but these popsicles are still a perfect dessert for all the end-of-summer parties coming up! It is so quick and easy to make and you will need only 3 ingredients and no artificial sugar added. And the best part they are dairy-free. I hope you all enjoy this recipe! Got extra mangos?

This is one of my favorite post-BBQ treats. If you need some BBQ recipe inspiration, you should try my Cajun Grilled Chicken with Black Bean Mango Salad, Mango Quinoa Salad Recipe, or my Black Bean Mango Salad Recipe.

Mango Plum Popsicle For this recipe, I pureed the raspberries in this mini food chopped from Kitchen Aid. I love this because it is so affordable, easy to store (since it is very small), and very efficient. It purees and chops just like a full-size food processor.

Ingredients 
 

  • ½ cup mango cut into small cubes
  • 2 big mangos peeled and cut into slices
  • 1 cup mango juice
  • 3 plums peeled and cut into slices

Instructions 

  • Add the mango juice and the mangos to a blender or food processor.
  • Puree until completely smooth. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Wash and clean the blender or food processor and add the plums. Puree them until smooth. If you need, add a little bit of water to help puree them.
  • Fill popsicle molds with mango cut into small cubes (it is about 1 tbsp in each mold)
  • Pour the mango mixture into the molds and leave 1 inch from the top for the plum mixture. Then, add the plum mixture.
  • Place the molds in the freezer for about 4 hours. To remove the popsicles, run the mold under warm water for 10 seconds and then pull the popsicles out of the molds.

Notes

  • If you do not have fresh mango or plum, you can use frozen fruit. You can blend the fruit from frozen or let them thaw first. 
  • If you do not have a popsicle mold, you can freeze them in small cups and cover it with plastic wrap. Then cut a hole to fit a popsicle stick and insert it when the mixture is semi frozen.
  • If you have trouble getting the popsicles out of their molds, just keep running it under water and it'll loosen!
  • To store: Keep the popsicles in the freezer until ready to consume. The popsicles will keep for up to 3 months.

    Frozen treats are SO tough to shoot! I’ve learned once popsicles are out of the mold (or ice cream scooped), I put them back in the freezer to get rock hard. Take them out, take a couple shots, then back into the freezer some more. It’s a royal pain in the butt!

    These popsicles are amazing… love the mango plum flavor combo!

    1. Olivia Ribas says:

      Chris, thank you so much your this tip. I didn’t think about it before. Next time I will take a couple shots and then put them back into the freezer! Great idea! Glad you like the recipe 😉

    I’ve been wanting to make another popsicle recipe, but I’m scared that it is too hot outside and they will melt within seconds! These photos came out so well!! They look beautiful and even better, they sound amazing! I just love how topped it with the red plum, the colors look amazing together!

    I’ve had several recipes that are so hard to photograph. Popsicles are tricky, but you did an amazing job photographing these. They look absolutely delicious!

    1. Olivia Ribas says:

      Thanks a lot, dear Cindy!

  4. Alex @ DelishKnowledge says:

    Ha! Popsicles are the worst to photograph! Right behind burritos for me 🙂 But, I kinda like the look of slightly melty popsicle photos! Anyways- these look delicious. I love mango anything and I bet they taste great with plum- pinning now!

    1. Olivia Ribas says:

      I’ve never photograph burritos, but I think it must be hard to photograph too. Thanks for stopping by 😉

    I’ve struggled to take pictures of popsicles too. Looks like you got the hang of it. These pictures are gorgeous. Love the colors of the mango and plum. Sounds delicious!

    YEASSS… Pinning ~ Pinning ~ Pinning! Popsicles are the business, all the yumminess in a few tasty licks. I am impressed with your photography skills, I cant imagine it was an easy thing to do. Your pops looks amazing and delicious and tasty too. Mango is the essence of Summer for me, gahhhh drooling!
