Summer can be summed up in a few simple words: banana, mango and ice block. These Banana Mango Coconut Ice Blocks are a refreshing, naturally sweet treat perfect for hot days. The coconut milk adds creaminess and makes them slightly more filling than a simple fruit pop, so they work well as a snack for kids and adults alike.
They’re straightforward to make with a blender and poured into ice block moulds, which you can find at department or discount stores. I picked mine up at Target, but any similar moulds will do.
Banana Mango Coconut Ice Blocks
These ice blocks are an ideal summer treat when bananas and mangos are ripe and sweet. You can adjust sweetness with a little honey or leave it out for a purer fruit flavor. Using coconut milk makes them creamy; coconut water gives a lighter, more icy texture.

Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 mango
- 1 tbsp honey, to taste (optional)
- 300 ml coconut milk or coconut water
Instructions
- Peel the banana and mango. Chop the mango flesh off the stone and roughly chop both fruits so they blend easily.
- Place the banana, mango, honey (if using) and coconut milk or water in a blender. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. Pour the mixture into ice block moulds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion.
- Insert sticks and freeze overnight or until completely solid. To unmould, run the mould briefly under warm water.
