The Internet Is Obsessed with Mango Ice Cream Pops—Here’s Where to Find Them

Scroll for a minute or two on TikTok, and I guarantee you’ll see an influencer brandishing a bright orange and yellow ice pop in the shape of a mango. For the past few weeks, the mango ice cream has gone absolutely viral, with influencers scouring grocery stores in search of the treat. Most popular TikTok foods range from delicious to strange, but these ice pops are a thing of beauty.

What is the mango ice cream?

Officially known as Propitious mango ice cream, this Chinese confection is as photogenic as it is tasty, which might explain why it’s taken off on TikTok.

Don’t imagine a freezer-burnt pop like the ones you bought from the ice cream truck. Instead, picture a work of art: bright yellow-orange and mango-shaped ice cream, packaged in a colorful box.

Pop open the plastic to grasp the pop by its handle. Then, take a bite—the colorful exterior is a thin white chocolate shell, which gently crunches under your teeth. Inside is super-soft, thick, mango ice cream.

@deannawoo There’s a MANGO version of the viral peach ice cream. I’ve been looking for this for over a year! I finally found it!! #icecream#viralfood#asiansnacks#asianfood#dessert#richmond#mangoicecream ♬ Seven (feat. Latto) – Clean Ver. – Jung Kook & Latto

TikTok influencers rave that the hard-to-find treat is reminiscent of mochi ice cream, with a texture that’s “really soft and super creamy.”

The same company also makes peach and lemon versions of the ice cream, all of which have surged in popularity on TikTok. Some grocery stores have had to limit the number of ice pops each customer can buy!

Where do I find it?

The treat is widely available at Asian grocery stores, such as H Mart, 99 Ranch and Dragon Star Foods. It comes in 2-packs, selling for about $8 to $10 per box. That’s a much lower price point than the viral $19 Erewhon strawberry, so we may just give it a try!
