Description
These Refreshing Watermelon Lime Popsicles are the ultimate way to cool off on a hot summer day, combining the juicy sweetness of watermelon with the tangy zing of lime for a naturally dairy-free and gluten-free treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (600g) watermelon chunks, seedless
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or agave syrup (optional)
- Mint leaves (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Cut your watermelon into chunks, removing the rind and any visible seeds.
- Add the watermelon chunks to your blender and blend until smooth. If needed, strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp or seeds.
- Squeeze two limes (about 2 tablespoons or 30ml of juice) and add it to the watermelon puree. Stir well to combine.
- Taste the mixture. If your watermelon isn’t super sweet, add 1 tablespoon (15ml) of honey or agave syrup and stir again.
- Carefully pour the mixture into your popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion during freezing.
- Insert the sticks, ensuring they’re centered so the popsicles freeze evenly.
- Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until completely frozen.
- Run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles, then gently pull them out.
Notes
For extra texture, add small chunks of watermelon or lime zest to the mixture before freezing. Keep popsicle molds upright in the freezer to avoid spills. Experiment with layering by freezing half the mixture first, then adding a second layer with limeade or coconut water.
