Chocolate Coconut Mango Mousse Ice Lollies

I love to make my own ice cream and ice lollies, you know exactly what ingredients they contain and they are really good value compared to buying premium brands.  Mangoes are relatively inexpensive at the moment so I decided that some Chocolate Coconut Mango Mousse Ice Lollies would be the perfect treat to keep in the freezer for warmer days.

The Mango Mousse Ice Lollies are delicious on their own but dip them in chocolate and toasted coconut and they become something extra special, an exotic tropical delight!  I recommend you use a power blender like the Optimum Vac2 Air Vacuum Blender to blend the mango and also to chop the toasted coconut, it’s really powerful and makes the whole process even quicker and easier. 

You can read my review of the Optimum Vac2 Air Vacuum Blender and check out my recipes for Pineapple, Carrot and Orange Juice.  and Spicy Roast Pumpkin and Coconut Soup, both made with this great blender.   If you’d like to order an Optimum Vac2 Air Vacuum Blender, at time of writing it’s on offer at £399.  Ordering via my Ambassador link won’t cost you any more but will provide a small payment to help keep Farmersgirl Kitchen going.

Once you have filled the lolly moulds, pop them in the freezer overnight so they are fully frozen and in the morning you are ready for the next stage.

Melt the chocolate in a mug, jug or jar, then dip each of the lollies into the melted chocolate.

You can either buy ready toasted coconut pieces or toast them yourself.  Have them ready to sprinkle over the melted chocolate then place each lolly onto a tray covered in baking parchment and place it back in the freezer to set. 

The smooth, creamy frozen mousse contrasts wonderfully with the dark chocolate coating and the crunchy texture of the toasted coconut.  Chocolate Coconut Mango Mousse Ice Lollies are the perfect way to cool down on a hot day.

Mango Mousse 

If you can’t wait for this creamy Mango Mousse to freeze then you can serve it as a mousse, you need to add a little gelatin to help with the set, then just chill it in the fridge for a few hours and just before serving sprinkle with toasted coconut.
