Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups Watermelon pureed (about half of one large watermelon)
  • 5 medium Kiwi peeled and sliced

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Food Processor
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Peeler

Method
 

  1. Begin by taking your watermelon and cutting it into smaller chunks. You want to ensure it’s easy to blend. Once you have the chunks, place all of them into a blender. Blend them until smooth, creating a vibrant watermelon puree that looks irresistible.
  2. Next, prepare your popsicle molds. Take the sliced kiwi and place a few slices at the bottom of each mold. This adds a fun surprise inside each pop, making them visually appealing.
  3. Now it’s time to fill the popsicle molds with the blended watermelon puree. Pour it carefully over the kiwi slices, filling each well to the top. The layering effect not only looks stunning but also enhances the flavor in every bite.
  4. Once the molds are filled, insert the popsicle sticks into each mold. If your molds don’t have a top, use some foil to cover them, making sure to cut a small slit where each stick will go. This keeps everything neat while the pops freeze.
  5. Place your filled molds into the freezer. Allow them to freeze completely, which usually takes several hours, or leave them overnight for best results.
  6. When you’re ready to enjoy your pops, simply remove them from the freezer. If they’re a bit stubborn, run warm water over the outside of the molds to help loosen them up. Gently pull the pops out.
  7. Take a moment to enjoy the beautiful colors of your Watermelon and Kiwi Pops before digging in! They’re perfect for a hot day or a fun treat after a meal.
  8. If your watermelon isn’t as sweet as you’d like, don’t hesitate to add a bit of agave syrup during blending until you reach your desired sweetness. Adjusting to your taste ensures you’ll enjoy every last bite.
  9. Remember, the number of popsicles you make can vary based on the size of your molds. The one used for this recipe typically yields around sixteen 3oz pops.
  10. Finally, if your popsicle mold doesn’t have a top, foil can be your best friend. Cover the mold to prevent any ice crystals from forming while freezing. This little trick can help achieve a smoother texture.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Keep your popsicles in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. They can be stored for up to a month without losing flavor!
  • Tip 2: For best results, freeze your pops overnight. This ensures they freeze solid and are easy to remove from the molds.
  • Tip 3: These pops are fantastic served alongside a light salad or as a dessert after a barbecue. They’re a hit with both kids and adults!
  • Tip 4: Don’t hesitate to experiment with other fruits. Adding strawberries or mango can create delightful flavor combinations!
  • Tip 5: Serve these pops on a hot day as a refreshing snack or dessert. They’re great for kids and adults alike!
