Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 cups cubed watermelon
- ¼ cup watermelon syrup (alternatively agave, honey, or maple syrup)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the cubed watermelon, watermelon syrup, and fresh lime juice to a high-speed blender and blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Fill Popsicle Molds: Pour the blended mixture evenly into 6 popsicle molds. Insert the popsicle sticks into the center of each mold, leaving about 2 inches exposed for easy handling once frozen.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer. If using metal popsicle molds, freeze for at least 4 hours. If using plastic molds, freeze for 6 to 8 hours to ensure they are fully set.
- Remove and Store: To remove the popsicles, run warm water briefly over the molds to loosen them, then gently pull out the popsicles. Store any extras in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Using fresh watermelon yields the best natural flavor and texture.
- You can substitute watermelon syrup with agave, honey, or maple syrup depending on your sweetness preference.
- Ensure the popsicle sticks are inserted properly to avoid difficulty when removing frozen popsicles.
- To remove popsicles easily, briefly run warm water on the outside of the molds before pulling out.
- Store leftover popsicles in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
