Ingredients

  • 3 , peeled and sliced Ripe Kiwi
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
  • 1 tablespoon, to taste Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (optional, for thinning) Water

Prepare the Watermelon

Cut the watermelon into cubes, removing any seeds. You should have approximately 3 cups of cubed watermelon.

Prepare the Kiwi

Peel the kiwis and slice them into thin rounds or small pieces. You'll use some for layering in the popsicle molds and the rest for blending.

Blend the Watermelon

In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon and lime juice. Add honey or maple syrup if desired, adjusting to your taste. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water to thin it out.

Layer the Popsicle Molds

Pour a small amount of the watermelon mixture into the popsicle molds. Add a few slices of kiwi to each mold, arranging them along the sides. This will create a visually appealing layered effect. Carefully pour remaining watermelon mixture into molds.

Insert Popsicle Sticks

Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold, ensuring they are firmly placed.

Freeze

Place the filled popsicle molds in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely frozen solid.

Unmold and Serve

To unmold the popsicles, run the molds briefly under warm water. Gently pull on the popsicle sticks to release the popsicles. Serve immediately and enjoy!
