About this recipe
Creamy mango icy poles Thermomix TM7 style are the ultimate homemade frozen dessert for hot summer days. Searching for easy icy pole recipes that your all-in-one kitchen machine can whip up in minutes? This one blends frozen mango with honey, vanilla bean paste, vanilla yoghurt, milk and a touch of arrowroot flour into a lusciously creamy base that freezes without icy crystals. The secret lies in the TM7 blades: they pulverise the frozen mango so finely that the mixture turns velvety before it even hits the moulds. A splash of water and the arrowroot keep everything stable, while the yoghurt adds a gentle tang that balances the tropical sweetness. These icy poles work brilliantly as a children's birthday party snack, a light dessert after a barbecue, or a make-ahead treat stored in the freezer for impromptu sunshine moments. Because you control the sweetness with honey, there are no hidden sugars or additives, only pure fruit flavour in every bite.
Preparation tips
- Use very cold milk and straight-from-the-freezer mango so the mixture stays thick when poured into the moulds; a runny base freezes harder and loses its creamy character.
- Fill the icy pole moulds leaving a small gap at the top, as the mango and yoghurt mixture expands slightly when freezing; tap the moulds on the worktop to release air bubbles.
- For easy release, dip the frozen moulds briefly in warm water before pulling the stick; store extra icy poles wrapped individually in the freezer for up to a month.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the milk and vanilla yoghurt with coconut milk and coconut yoghurt; the mango pairs wonderfully with coconut for a tropical twist suitable for lactose-intolerant guests.
- Festive berry swirl: layer the mango mixture with a strawberry and honey purée in the moulds for a cheerful red-and-orange striped effect, ideal for children's parties in summer.
