Kiwi Watermelon Popsicles
A delightful summer treat combining the juicy sweetness of watermelon with the tangy flavor of kiwifruit, perfect for cooling off on hot days.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 count ripe kiwis, peeled and chopped
- 2 cups watermelon, cubed and seeded
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste) Use to sweeten the popsicles if necessary.
Instructions
Preparation
- Peel and chop the kiwis and cube the watermelon, ensuring the watermelon is free of seeds for a smoother texture.
- Place the watermelon cubes into a blender and blend until smooth. Strain if a smoother consistency is desired.
- Taste the blended watermelon; if it's not sweet enough, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup and blend again.
- Pour a layer of the watermelon puree into the popsicle molds, filling them about a third of the way. Then, add a layer of chopped kiwi on top.
- Pour in more watermelon puree until the molds are nearly full, leaving a little space for expansion as they freeze.
- Insert the popsicle sticks in the center of each mold, and transfer the molds to the freezer. Freeze for at least 4–6 hours until solid.
- To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull the popsicles out.
Notes
Experiment with adding a splash of lime juice for a zesty twist or other fruits like strawberries or mangoes for variety. For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of coconut milk into the watermelon blend.
