Description
No-cook watermelon popsicles made with ripe fruit and zesty lime juice. Customizable with berries, herbs, and chia seeds for a hydrating, guilt-free summer dessert.
Ingredients
Cubed Watermelon (6 cups)
Fresh Lime Juice (2 tablespoons)
Strawberries (optional, 1 cup)
Mint (optional, 1 tablespoon, stems removed)
Chia Seeds (optional, 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
Rinse and dry popsicle molds or silicone trays.
Insert sticks into each mold hole if using separate molds.
Place molds on parchment-lined baking sheet for drip retention.
Combine watermelon chunks and lime juice in a high-powered blender.
Pulse until smooth, scraping sides as needed.
Blend optional ingredients separately if they create lumps (e.g., strawberries).
Pour smoothie into molds, layering optional ingredients if desired.
Freeze for 4+ hours until solid.
Notes
Use parchment paper to prevent mold slippage.
Substitute lime juice with lemon juice if needed.
Herbs like basil or cilantro can replace mint.
Chia seeds add fiber but can be omitted for a smoother texture.
Freeze at least 4 hours for best results.
Store in airtight containers for up to 2 weeks.
