Instructions

Chef’s Insight

For extra sophistication, drizzle a small amount of keto-friendly chocolate sauce on top before garnishing with toasted coconut flakes.

Notes

Mangoes are a great source of vitamin A and C. Coconut milk is rich in healthy fats like lauric acid, which can aid in weight loss and overall health.

Substitutions

For a non-keto version, replace erythritol with sugar. - You can use frozen mangoes if fresh ones are unavailable. - Feel free to substitute coconut milk with almond or cashew milk.

Alternative Preparations

You can also turn this into a sorbet or granita by skipping the ice pop mold and using a shallow tray instead. Freeze, scraping the surface every hour or so until it reaches your desired consistency.

Alternative Methods

None required; this is a no-cook recipe.

Best Storage Practice

Store ice pops in an airtight container with wax paper between them to prevent sticking. Keep them frozen until ready to serve.

Shelf Life

Ideally consumed within one week of making.

Plating Tips

Serve the ice pop on a plate adorned with fresh mango slices and a dusting of toasted coconut flakes. Capture the essence of tropical paradise by placing the plate in front of a backdrop of lush green foliage or an image of the ocean.
