Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • This recipe keeps things minimal letting fresh watermelon and kiwi do all the flavor work. Here's exactly what you need.
  • 5 cups watermelon cubed (or however much you can get from a personal-size watermelon)
  • 2 kiwis peeled and roughly chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime optional
  • 1/2 tablespoon minced fresh mint optional
  • A drop of agave if your watermelon isn't very sweet
  • A quick note: the reference version of this recipe left out kiwi entirely despite the title promising it so this version adds it back in to actually deliver on that watermelon-kiwi combo.

Equipment

  • This recipe keeps the tool list refreshingly short. Here's what to grab:
  • Blender (for pureeing the watermelon and kiwi)
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Popsicle molds (any standard set works fine)
  • Popsicle sticks (if your molds don't come with built-in handles)
  • No stove, no oven, nothing complicated. A blender and some molds handle the entire process.

Method
 

  1. Step 1- Blend the Fruit
  2. Place the watermelon and kiwi in a blender along with any optional variations you're using, like lime juice or mint. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Step 2- Taste and Adjust
  4. Give the mixture a taste. If your watermelon isn't particularly sweet, add a small drop of agave to balance things out. Ripe, in-season watermelon usually doesn't need any extra sweetener at all.
  5. Step 3- Fill the Molds
  6. Pour the blended fruit mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little room at the top since the mixture expands slightly as it freezes.
  7. Step 4- Freeze Until Solid
  8. Freeze the popsicles overnight, or for at least 6 hours, until they've hardened all the way through. Rushing this step leaves you with a slushy center instead of a proper solid popsicle.
  9. That's genuinely the entire process. Two active steps, and a lot of patient waiting while your freezer does the real work.
