How to Make Watermelon Popsicles

  • Prepare the Watermelon: Start by removing the flesh from the watermelon and cutting it into rough cubes. Discard any seeds and the green base to ensure a smooth pop!
  • Blend the Ingredients: In a mixer jar, add the 2 cups of cubed watermelon. This base will be the star of your watermelon popsicles recipe!
  • Sweeten It Up: Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to your watermelon in the mixer. This little step enhances the sweetness, making the popsicles even more delightful!
  • Add Zesty Lemon Juice: Pour in the juice from ½ lemon. The acidity perfectly complements the sweet watermelon, creating a balanced flavor profile.
  • Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients until you achieve a fine, smooth puree. You want it to be perfectly blended for that refreshing texture!
  • Fill the Popsicle Molds: Take your favorite popsicle molds and pour the mixture into each mold. Leave a little space at the top for expansion when freezing.
  • Seal and Insert Sticks: Close the tops of the molds with foil. Use a knife to slit the foil and insert ice cream sticks through the opening.
  • Freeze for Maximum Chill: Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight for the best results.
  • Remove the Molds: The next day, carefully peel back the foil and dip the outside of the molds in warm water for a few seconds to loosen them.
  • Gently Pull Out the Popsicles: With a gentle tug, pull the popsicles free from the mold. Enjoy the satisfying slide of these homemade treats!

Notes

Optional: Drizzle with a bit of honey or sprinkle with sea salt for an extra touch. Choose ripe watermelon for the best flavor.
