Watermelon and Lime Popsicles

Beat the summer heat with our Watermelon and Lime Popsicles! These icy treats are a delightful blend of fresh, juicy watermelon and tangy lime, sweetened with a hint of honey and infused with aromatic mint leaves. A refreshing palate cleanser or a light dessert, these popsicles are the perfect way to cool down during those hot summer days. This recipe has roots in the southern United States, where watermelon is a summer staple and citrus fruits like lime are commonly used in desserts.

Serves 8

Ingredients

Fresh watermelon
4 cups, cubed
Fresh lime juice
1/4 cup
Honey
2 tablespoons, or to taste
Fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup, chopped
Popsicle sticks
8
Popsicle molds
8 molds

Instructions

  1. Prepare your popsicle molds and sticks.
  2. In a blender, add the cubed watermelon and blend until you have a smooth puree.
  3. Add the fresh lime juice, your preferred amount of honey, and the chopped fresh mint leaves to the blender. Blend again until everything is well combined.
  4. Carefully pour the watermelon mixture into each popsicle mold, leaving a little space at the top for the mixture to expand as it freezes.
  5. Insert a popsicle stick into each mold and ensure it is standing upright.
  6. Place the filled molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the popsicles are completely frozen.
  7. To remove the popsicles from the molds, briefly run the molds under warm water. The popsicles should easily slide out.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing watermelon and lime popsicles!

Tips

  • 💡 For a more intense flavor, you can increase the amount of lime juice.
  • 💡 If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups and peel them away once the popsicles are frozen.
  • 💡 For an adult version, you can add a splash of tequila or vodka to the mixture before freezing.
