Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh watermelon chunks, seeds removed
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (natural)
- 1–2 tablespoons honey (natural) or maple syrup (natural)
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon: Cut fresh watermelon into chunks and remove all seeds. The juicier the watermelon, the better the popsicles will taste.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add watermelon chunks, lemon juice (natural), honey or maple syrup (natural), fresh mint leaves, and natural gelling agent into a blender. Blend until completely smooth for a consistent texture.
- Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, leaving some space at the top for expansion during freezing.
- Freeze Until Solid: Place the molds on a flat surface in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until completely firm.
- Remove and Enjoy: Once frozen solid, remove the popsicles from the molds and serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing watermelon flavor.
Notes
- Choose ripe, fragrant watermelon for the best natural sweetness.
- Chill your blender jar before blending to keep the mixture cold and prevent melting.
- Do not skip the natural gelling agent to ensure the popsicles hold their shape smoothly.
- Taste the blended mixture before freezing and adjust sweetness or acidity if needed.
- Use silicone molds to easily remove the popsicles without breaking.
