By polloazul

Ingredients

• 1 cup store-bought mango juice
• or nectar
• 1 ⁄4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp. ancho chile powder
• 1 large mango, peeled, seeded,
• and cut into small cubes

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat mango juice, sugar, lemon juice, and 1⁄2 cup water in a 1-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Transfer mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled.

2. Stir chile powder and cubed mango into the chilled mixture and pour into eight 3-oz. ice-pop molds. Insert a Popsicle stick into each mold and freeze until pops are solid, about 3 hours more. To release ice pops from molds, run the bottom of the molds briefly under cold water.
