Watermelon Ice Pops
Bright, juicy, and bursting with flavor, these Watermelon Ice Pops are the perfect way to beat the heat. Made with fresh watermelon, they are naturally sweet and make for a guilt-free indulgence. Plus, they’re super simple to whip up, allowing you more time to enjoy the sun!
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of seedless watermelon, cubed
- 1-2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by preparing your watermelon. Cut the watermelon into cubes, discarding any seeds.
- Place the watermelon cubes in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. You can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture, but this is entirely up to you.
- If you like your pops a little sweeter, add honey or agave syrup to the blended watermelon and mix until combined. The sweetness level can be adjusted based on your taste preferences!
- Add the fresh lime juice to give the pops a zing of flavor. Lime pairs beautifully with the sweetness of watermelon.
- Pour the watermelon mixture into your popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top as the mixture will expand when frozen.
- If desired, drop a few mint leaves into each mold for a refreshing twist that will enhance the flavor.
- Insert the sticks and place the molds in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
- To remove the pops, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen, and gently pull the pops out.
These Watermelon Ice Pops are not only a fantastic summer treat but also a great way to stay hydrated while enjoying the natural sweetness of fresh fruit. So grab some watermelon, whip up a batch, and enjoy a cool, refreshing pop on a hot day!
