Instructions
Creating your Watermelon Look-Alike Ice Popsicles is a fun and straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure perfect results:
1. Prepare Fruit Purees: In a blender, blend the watermelon until smooth. Pour into a bowl and set aside. Then, blend the strawberries until pureed.
2. Mix Coconut Layer: In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk, honey (if using), lime juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Layer Watermelon Mixture: Pour a layer of watermelon puree into your popsicle molds, filling each one about one-third of the way.
4. Add Coconut Layer: Next, add a layer of the coconut mixture over the watermelon puree, filling the molds about two-thirds of the way.
5. Add Strawberry Puree: Finish filling each mold with the strawberry puree, leaving a little room at the top for expansion as they freeze.
6. Insert Sticks: Place the popsicle sticks in the center of each mold, ensuring they stand upright.
7. Add Seeds (Optional): If desired, sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips into the strawberry layer to mimic watermelon seeds.
8. Freeze the Popsicles: Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until completely frozen.
9. Unmold the Popsicles: Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds by running warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Look-Alike Ice Popsicles right away!
