Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (950 ml) fresh watermelon juice, strained for smooth texture
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice
- 1 cup (240 ml) pure, unsweetened coconut water
- 1 to 2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) honey or agave syrup (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Cut about 4 cups (2 pounds or 900g) of watermelon into chunks, removing seeds if needed. Blend until smooth (2-3 minutes).
- Optional: Pour blended watermelon through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher, pressing pulp to extract juice for a smooth texture (5 minutes).
- Stir in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice and 1 cup (240 ml) coconut water to combine.
- Taste and add 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) honey or agave syrup and a pinch of sea salt if needed. Stir well.
- Pour mixture into popsicle molds, leaving about half an inch of space at the top for expansion. Insert sticks or lids.
- Freeze molds on a flat surface for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
- To unmold, run molds under warm water for a few seconds and gently pull on sticks. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Use ripe watermelon for best sweetness. Adjust lime juice to balance tartness. Straining juice creates a smoother popsicle, but some pulp adds texture. Leave space in molds to prevent cracking. Smaller molds freeze faster. Run molds under warm water to release popsicles easily.
