In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the simple syrup to cool to room temperature.
In a blender, combine the cooled simple syrup, frozen mango chunks, lime juice, and vanilla extract (if using). Blend until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds. If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use small cups or an ice cube tray as an alternative. Insert popsicle sticks into each mold. If using cups or an ice cube tray, let the pops freeze for about an hour before inserting the sticks to ensure they stand upright.
Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the popsicles are firm.

If you’re looking to spice up your popsicle recipe or add a twist, here are some tasty variations you can try:

Coconut Mango Popsicles: Substitute the water with coconut milk for a creamier texture and tropical flavor.
Spicy Mango Popsicles: Add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the mixture before freezing. The heat contrasts nicely with the sweetness of the mango and the tang of the lime.
Mango Yogurt Popsicles: Mix equal parts of yogurt with the mango blend before freezing. This will give your popsicles a creamy texture and a tangy flavor, perfect for a richer treat.
Mango Mojito Popsicles: Add fresh mint leaves and a splash of rum (optional) into your blend. This variation is great for adult gatherings and adds a refreshing mojito twist to your popsicles.
Mango Pineapple Popsicles: Blend equal parts of mango and pineapple for a tropical flavor explosion. The acidity of the pineapple complements the sweetness of the mango beautifully.
