Watermelon Ice Pops

Watermelon ice pops are frozen treats made by blending fresh watermelon with optional lime juice and salt, then pouring the mixture into molds to freeze. The final product has a vibrant red color, a smooth yet icy texture, and a refreshing flavor that captures the essence of summer. These pops are simple to make with minimal ingredients and provide a cooling sensation on hot days.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups watermelon chunks seedless or de-seeded for easier blending
  • 1 lime lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt optional, enhances flavor

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Ice pop molds and sticks

Method
 

  1. Place the watermelon chunks into the blender.
  2. Add the lime juice and salt to the blender with the watermelon.
  3. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and completely pureed, about 30-45 seconds. Look for a vibrant red liquid with no large chunks.
  4. Pour the blended mixture evenly into ice pop molds, filling each to about ¾ full.
  5. Insert the sticks into the molds and freeze uncovered for at least 4 hours, or until fully solidified. The pops should be firm and ice-cold when ready.
  6. To serve, run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds to loosen the pops, then carefully remove and enjoy immediately.
