Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced) Watermelon
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 6 leaves Mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the watermelon by cutting it into small cubes. Measure out 4 cups of diced watermelon.
In a blender, combine the diced watermelon, lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), and mint leaves (if using). Blend until smooth.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Pour the watermelon mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove any seeds or pulp. This step is optional but ensures a smoother texture.
Carefully pour the strained mixture into ice pop molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
Insert sticks into the molds and place the molds in the freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until completely solid.
To remove the ice pops from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing watermelon ice pops!
