Frozen Mango Bars
I adapted this recipe from a recipe on Best Recipes.com submitted by debrakay56.
Made 36 pieces
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups sugar (260g)
1 1/4 cups water (300g)
3 x 425g cans sliced mangoes, drained. (I used about 700g fresh mango flesh - 4 decent sized mangoes)
1 tbspn lemon juice
1 x 300ml thickened cream (I used 2 x 200ml cartons of long life cream)
Preparation:
Line 2 20cm x 30cm lamington trays with alfoil or get some silicon muffin pans ready.
Mill the sugar on Speed for 10 secs. Add the water and cook at 60º for 5 mins to dissolve sugar.
Cool to room temperature.
Add mangoes, and lemon juice and turn speed dial slowly to 9 to puree. Allow to puree for about 3 secs on 9 to ensure smooth consistency.
In a bowl combine two cups of mango mixture with the cream and stir.
Pour this mixture into silicon muffin pans or a couple of lamington trays lined with baking paper (20cm x 30cm) and freeze until firm.
Pour remaining mango mixture over frozen mango cream in pan or muffin trays. Freeze for several hours or until firm.
Cut into slices if using pan or remove from silicon muffin molds and store in freezer.
Tips/Hints:
I am not a big fruit eater so had to get my children to sample these and got the thumbs up. They are very easy to make and I thought that using my silicon muffin molds they look more presentable for desserts when one has company. Would be interested to know if others think that you could substitute coconut cream for the thickened cream and if that would taste okay. Am thinking about whether a similar concoction of strawberries or mixed berries could be made. Would love to hear from others as to what they think. Feedback on the Best Recipes site suggested adding macadamia nuts to the cream mix and a few had done this and enjoyed it.
Members' comments
Kym - I made a half batch yesterday and I agree that they do taste fairly similar to the Weiss bars.
mel81q - These are just like the weiss bar from the supermarket, probably even better, as these are heaps cheaper to make, and you get plenty out of one batch. DH rated them a 20/10 so must be onto a good thing here. He might just have a new favourite thermomix dessert now. Ta for a great recipe.
Trudy - These went down a treat with my Granddaughters and Sons-in-Law. I found the mixture was just right for only ONE lamington pan and slices very easily. Thank-you for the recipe.
Obbie - I made these yesterday, and used silicon muffin trays for them. My daughter loves them. I used up 7 fresh mangoes.
Uni - I made them a few weeks ago and omg soooooo good. I don’t own silicon muffin trays I just lined mine with foil. Making more this week this will try with canned mangoes.
opi2kenopi - Oh yeah, I made these a few weeks ago and forgot to post my thanks for the recipe. So thanks. It's lovely! And I only found out after I made them that my DH is not a fan of mango. How did I not know that by now? I included macadamias and coconut cream (or was it milk? I can't remember) in the creamy bit, and next time I think I might churn that part in my ice-cream maker for a while because I find that part a little solid to get the spoon through (maybe because I used coconut milk?). I did mine in silicone muffin tins so need to be eaten with a spoon. If done as bars or in ice-cream moulds with a stick I don't think the churning is necessary. I think canned mangoes would work a treat. Would you use the juice as well?
chookie - Roxy, this recipe is unreal. I made the basic Mango, although I doubled the recipe as I knew it was going to be hot today and I had run out of Ice-cream. I set some in icy-pop containers, and the rest in a flat dish. For lunch today, I sliced the set mango and served it in between wafers. Beautiful. For afternoon tea, I put about a cup of Ice blocks, 1 cup of milk and a chunk of Frozen Mango Bars in the TMX and zapped on 10 for 1 min. A beautiful frozen mango thick shake. Thanks again. I think I will make a berry version.
Leej - We use just the mango 'sorbet' base for icy-poles (we're dairy free), DS absolutely loves them. We aren't mango fans, but my sister tells me they are like the weiss bars too. I did freeze and re-blend the mix at once stage to see if it would be a bit more 'sorbetish', but it really is nicer without it! Today we used 2 cans of mango's and 2 frozen cheeks, worked a charm. It makes enough for 12 icy-poles here.
Uni - make sure you take them out of the freezer 15 mins before you are going to eat them. Once frozen slice it then use go betweens then store back in the freezer. Or do individual ones. If making these with berries, I would use 700g of berries.
Denzelmum - We got a tray of mango for $10 and made this. DD and DS love this! Made some on tupperware popsicle thingy and some one silicone loaf. Looks exactly like Weis Bar. Yummy summer treat.
Marina - I froze the juice from the tinned mangos I used when I made this and will use them in sorbets and smoothies, etc. during the summer.
Kulsha - These taste awesome, I made them into small bars by freezing in a square silicone cake tin - then sliced when both layers frozen. They have a definite 2 colour layer like the commercial ones you buy. Next time I will try coconut cream and I like the idea of the icy pole moulds too. The recipe made about 20 pieces which I cut up and store in plastic container separated with baking paper. They are easy to eat in a small bowl with a small fork (spoon might bounce around a bit until they melt a bit). Yummy - thanks for the recipe !!
Brumington - They are heaven on earth and just like the real thing.
MF - Absolutely delicious. A great recipe and they taste just like the weis bars at a fraction of the cost.
Chookie - Made this again. Love it. Cooked some white peaches, no sugar. Used the peach liquid instead of water, but followed the recipe replacing mangos with peaches. Froze some in tray, rest frozen in plastic container. They were delicious. Served between wafer biscuits.
ES - I had two very ripe mangoes in the fruit bowl and 825g jar of sliced mangoes in the cupboard. I made this up and poured into silicon cup cake moulds.. So easy and soo delicious. Everyone in the family loves these.
MEP - I made these for the first time the other day and they were absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe. The recipe reviews and comments found on this forum really are invaluable and priceless in saving you $$ and effort.
Kimmyh - Made half recipe and put into Popsicle moulds. Just need to get layers a bit more even. Really yummy recipe and easier for the children to eat them when on sticks.
-
Sounds and looks very nice RoxyS. If you check out farfallina's easy strawberry ice-cream recipe here and the comments that followed it, you will have all your questions answered. I made this ice-cream using mango and evaporated coconut flavoured milk so it is yes to all your questions.

Thanks JD, appreciate the feedback. You are amazing with your knowledge of what is on the forum. I did check to see if anyone had posted this recipe before doing so. Interesting that there is something quite similar but just that bit different. Great to have my questions answered - certainly opens up the scope of what I can do with the recipe. Am seeking to bump up the amount of fruit we eat seeing as I am not such a great fruit eater.
Sorbets are becoming a regular staple now the weather is warming up.
-
Looks good.
-
Does this taste like a weis bar? My husband loves wies bars, so if i could make them it would be great!
-
They look delicious. I have all those ingredients so might give them a go.
Thanks for sharing.
:)
-
Looks like I'm going to be doing a half size batch!
-
I can just taste them now Roxy. Just what we needed the other day.
-
mel81q according to the reviews on Best Recipes they do taste very much like Weiss bars.
-
I made a half batch yesterday and I agree that they do taste fairly similar to the Weiss bars.
-
Yummo!!! ;D
I'll be putting these straight on my "to-do" pile.
Cheers,
Renae.
-
Thanks RoxyS - have a batch in the freezer right now. Here's hoping DH likes these, as I'm no fan of mango! Very easy to make too!
-

-
:) looks great, i'll make these for the kids. i have a party next week with lots of kids comming over.
Robyn
-
So who is going to be the first to make these in ice-block on a stick moulds ;) ;)
-
Great idea JD, hadn't thought of that.
-
These went down a treat with my Granddaughters and SoninLaws. I found the mixture was just right for only ONE lamington pan and slices very easily. Thank-you for the recipe.
-
:) i made these yesterday, and used silicon muffin trays for them.
my daughter loves them.
i used up 7 fresh mangoes.
Robyn
-
Great recipe for using up excess mangoes if you are lucky enough to have them Robyn. I've never had 7 mangoes sitting in my fruit bowl in one hit :( :(
-
I made them a few weeks ago and omg soooooo good
I don’t own silicon muffin trays I just lined my with foil
Making more this week this will try with caned mangos
ciao

I think canned mangoes would work a treat. Would you use the juice as well?
-
They look lovely. The price of mangoes has become very high here after the Carnarvon floods.
-
:D we get mangoes pretty cheap, direct from farms. or from customers of ours.
I am going to try it with mixed berrys, strawberrys next.
maybe banana's and chocolate cocoa added to the cream mixture.
Robyn
-
Anyone tried these with lactose free cream ?
ciao
-
:) i made these again this morning with mulberrys.
Yum.
Robyn
-
They would be a lovely colour.

-
Great ideas there chookie. I have some still in the freezer from my first batch. A mango thickshake sounds fantastic and may very well be my dessert tonight ;)
-
We have visitors tonight, for sweets Mango slice on top of tropical fruit salad. Yummy after a fishy dinner.
-
I see this recipe (I think it is identical) has appeared on the other forum. Is that you RoxyS with a different name perhaps?
-
yum only just noticed this one and when i first read it thought hope these are like the mango weiss bars and apparently yes so thankyou ...good one to try as the northern hemisphere is going into summer so im bumping..thx :)
-
You will not be disappointed frozzie ,it’s a family favorite.
-

It's not Roxy JD as I am sure Roxy over there ;)
-
I love Weis bars but only buy them when they are on special and even then they are soooooooo expensive so thank you RoxyS I will add these to my ever expanding recipe list ;)

Thought I'd bump this up seeing as the weather is fining up!
We use just the mango 'sorbet' base for icypoles (we're dairy free), DS absolutley loves them. We aren't mango fans, but my sister tells me they are like the weiss bars too ;)
I did freeze and reblend the mix at once stage to see if it would be a bit more 'sorbetish', but it really is nicer without it!
Today we used 2 cans of mango's and 2 frozen cheeks, worked a charm. It makes enough for 12 icypoles here :)
-
How could I have missed this? Even though today is the 2nd of Spring and only just starting to warm up, I'm still going to make these this weekend. I simply cannot resist the temptation!
-
You will love them, make sure you take them out of the freezer 15 mins before you are going to eat them .
ciao
-
yum, thinking of trying this sometime this week. If you cut them into slices, how do you store them in the freezer? And as a bar, how do you eat them without them melting all over the place? Or do you serve them in a bowl with a spoon? I'm sure they're delicious no matter how you eat them!
-
Once frozen slice it then use go betweens then store back in the freezer
Or do individual ones
:D
uni
-
Have you got a paddle pop maker so they end up on a stick and would be easier to eat?
-
We got a tray of mango for $10.- and made this. DD and DS love this! Made some on tupperware popsicle thingy and some one silicone loaf. Looks exactly like Weis Bar. Yummy summer treat.
-
Got the first part in the freezer!!!! Mixture tasted great. Can't wait to have one tomorrow night! Great recipe thank you!
-
If using tinned mangos do you also use the juice?
-
have a look at the original recipe it does say (drained) i hope this helps
http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/Frozen-Mango-Bars-L2062.html
-
I froze the juice from the tinned mangos I used when I made this and will use them in sorbets and smoothies, etc. during the summer.
-
I need to make a heap of these to use up the last of my mango stores in the freezer from last year. Mango season is upon us again so I will need to chop and freeze new stores for the coming year.
Hmmmm, I think I sound like a squirrel.....
-
These taste awesome, I made them into small bars by freezing in a square silicone cake tin - then sliced when both layers frozen. My photos don't do them justice because they have a definite 2 colour layer like the commercial ones you buy (my photo is a bit over exposed and makes it look like they are all the same colour). Next time I will try coconut cream and I like the idea of the icy pole moulds too. The recipe made about 20 pieces which I cut up and store in plastic container separated with baking paper. They are easy to eat in a small bowl with a small fork (spoon might bounce around a bit until they melt a bit). Yummy - thanks for the recipe !!
-
I've just made up a batch of these,cant wait to try them!
-
I have some frozen berries in the freezer and would love to use them instead of mangoes. Can anyone tell me how much I berries I should use?
Thanks
DG xxxx
-
bella DG i would use 700g of berries :)
-
thanks fundj, I will make these today. :-* :-* :-*
-
I bought a box of 12 mangoes for $5 yesterday and couldn't wait to get home and start making these. They are heaven on earth and just like the real thing.
-
:o already at $5 a box where from BT
-
I'm dreaming of the day they are that cheap this is a must do recipe
-
Mangos will be cheap this year... Or so ive been told
-
I have never seen them priced under $2.30 each down here in vic. Unless I am looking in wrong places.....
-
They were 2 for $5 at C today :-))
-
My local fruit and veg place is awesome. They package up fruit which has marks on it and sell them as a bulk lot at the front of the store. Every time I go in I check what bulk fruit is at the front and I'll ask the manager how much she's charging. It's normally $3, doesn't matter what it is! Mangoes are obviously a bit more expensive ;D. I've bought tomatoes, bananas, strawberries, lemons, anything they're selling then I get them home and plug the key word into the forum search!
-
Lucky you I might have a look at my local fruit and veg shop hopefully they do the same thing
-
Brumington, what a fantastic idea and way to get meals out of cheap fruit and veg :D
-
Good idea Brumington. :)
Am hoping to make these bars soon, once I can decide what I would serve them to visitors with...? Any ideas?
-
with nothing else astarra ;D
-
by themselves.
paper towel to clean up mess. :)
-
LOL this sounds like you serve them naked!!!
-
Just made these today and absolutely delicious.
Bought 4 large mangoes yesterday for 5 dollars which is very cheap for Perth. :)
By Xmas they will be 4 or 5 dollars each >:(
A great recipe and they taste just like the weis bars at a fraction of the cost
-
Yum, I love weiss bars could you make these in icy pole things (can't for the life of me remember what they are called) or not
-
I know what you mean Suzanne and I don't see why not.
I thought about that today but didn't have any as I gave them to DD last summer.
They really taste delicious :D
-
Made this again. Love it. Cooked some white peaches, no sugar. Used the peach liquid instead of water, but followed the recipe replacing mangos with peaches. Froze some in tray, ( will attach photo) rest frozen in plastic container.
-

This is the tin that I froze some of the peach mixture in.
-
My evening treat in all of its mango scrumminess! (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/11/22/a7u5emer.jpg)
-
Oh my goodness these ( and all the variations) look and sound amazing. My mangos won't be ready for picking until March 2013 so until then I think I will use blueberries or strawberries.
-
looks good Brumington
-
looking very yummy. I made these last year, and will make more soon..
-
I've got some of these in the freezer, haven't tried them yet but it will be hot here over the weekend 😊
-
The peach ones were delicious. Served between wafer biscuits.
-
Pictures chookie?? And what type of tin is that.. Is it big or more like finger biscuit big?
-
I had two very ripe mangoes in the fruit bowl and 825g jar of sliced mangoes in the cupboard. I made this up and poured into silicon cup cake moulds.. So easy and soo delicious. Everyone in the family loves these. :)
-
ES you are very busy. ;)
-
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/17/e7ezezyj.jpg)
Yes, DH walked into to the kitchen on Saturday and looked at the things I'd baked And the two jugs on the drain board, and said " you'll wear that thing out" and walked out again. LOL
-
good idea Judy, we have heaps of mangos at the moment, So I am doing these again today.
-

Lol.. Men are never happy.. At least your getting your moneys worth 😁
-
I made these for the first time the other day and they were absolutely delicious. I have made three separate recipes using fresh mangos with very differing results within the last week.
1. Mango Pudding (Chinese Yum Cha style) using large fresh mango with absolutely no taste or aroma of mangos but the pudding turned out delish.
2. Mango & Coconut Ice Cream (from the Recipe Community) using large fresh mango full of mango aromas and sweet gorgeous mango taste, but the ice cream had no mango flavour whatsoever. I think the coconut milk cancelled the mango flavour out. Very disappointing and will not be wasting good mangos on this recipe again.
3. Frozen Mango Bars using fresh mangos and these turned out the best of all. We love Mango Weis bars and will be making these again and again.
Thanks for sharing the recipe. The recipe reviews and comments found on this forum really are invaluable and priceless in saving you $$ and effort.
-
Here's another Mango recipe for you to try MEP - Mango Kulfi (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5689.0) hopefully you'll find it tastier than the RC recipe. I love it.
-
Thanks Judy. I'll give it a try as DH loves Indian food.
-
Made half recipe and put into Popsicle moulds. Just need to get layers a bit more even. Really yummy recipe and easier for the children to eat them when on sticks.

-
They look very cooling Kimmy.
-
Bumping.
Going to give these a go tomorrow. :)
-
Thanks for the bump JulieO. I just saw Kimmy's pops and wonder how these might go in a Zuko Pop Maker...might have to try :)
-
With the mango season underway and christmas just around the corner thought I wuold bump this.
