Why This Recipe Works

Lassis are yogurt-based drinks that originated in the Punjab region of India. Mango lassis are a popular sweet lassi, combining mango and creamy yogurt. This recipe takes that flavor combination—plus a little honey and lime juice—and turns it into a refreshing popsicle. As they’re making their popsicle mixture in step 1, kids can practice keeping track of time. Let them use a clock or watch with a second hand to keep track of processing the ingredients for 15 seconds and then for 15 to 30 seconds.

Instructions

Add mango, yogurt, honey, and lime juice to food processor. Lock lid into place. Turn on processor and process for 15 seconds. Stop processor, remove lid, and scrape down sides of processor bowl with rubber spatula.

Lock lid back into place. Turn on processor and process until mixture is smooth, 15 to 30 seconds. Stop processor, remove lid, and carefully remove processor blade (ask an adult for help).

Pour mixture into large liquid measuring cup, using rubber spatula to help scrape out mixture. Divide mixture evenly among ice pop molds.

Insert 1 ice pop stick in center of each mold and seal with cover. Place in freezer and chill until firm, at least 6 hours or up to 5 days.

Hold mold under warm running water for 30 seconds to thaw slightly. Slide popsicle out of mold. Serve.
