A fork makes ripe mango soft enough to mix into yogurt without a blender. Freeze the mixture in small cups and soften it briefly before eating with a spoon. These are scoopable frozen desserts, with no sticks or hard decorations.

Before you begin · grown-up check

The adult checks the ready-diced mango and freezer-safe cups and stays nearby.

A grown-up checks ingredient labels, the workspace and the young cook’s readiness before starting. No heat is needed; the grown-up stays nearby.

Young cookWash hands with soap and water, clear the work area and read all the steps before measuring.
Young cookMash mango well with the fork; a few very small pieces are fine.
Young cookStir in yogurt, honey and lime juice until mixed.
Young cookDivide between four freezer-safe containers, leaving space below each lid. Freeze on a level shelf for about 3 hours until firm.
Young cookMove cups to the refrigerator for 15 minutes to soften before serving with spoons; ask the adult for help if still too firm.

The skill you’re learning

Small cups freeze sooner and soften more evenly than one large tub. Leaving headroom keeps expanding food from pushing against the lid.

Try one change

Use 1 cup very ripe ready-diced peach instead of mango.

Serving & storing

Cover and keep frozen at 0°F for up to 1 month for best quality. Soften only the cups needed; refrigerate a softened portion and use that day.
