Let’s create these wonderfully refreshing Watermelon Popsicles:
1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
- If you haven’t already, carefully cube your watermelon, removing the rind and seeds if necessary.
- Squeeze your fresh lime juice.
2. Blend to a Smooth Puree:
- Place the 6 cups of cubed watermelon and the 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice into the container of your blender.
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and liquid. This process should be very quick, likely taking only 30 to 60 seconds.
3. Pour into Popsicle Molds:
- Carefully pour the smooth watermelon-lime puree into your popsicle molds.
- Remember to leave about a ½ inch of space at the top of each mold. The liquid will expand as it freezes, and this extra space prevents overflow.
4. Add Sticks and Freeze Until Solid:
- Cover the popsicle molds with their designated lid. If your molds use separate popsicle sticks, insert them into the slots now.
- Carefully place the filled molds onto a level surface in your freezer to ensure they freeze evenly.
- Freeze until the popsicles are completely solid. This will take at least 4 hours, but freezing them overnight is ideal for the firmest, most stable results.
5. Unmold and Enjoy:
- To release a popsicle from its mold, you can briefly run the outside of the mold under warm (not hot) water for a few seconds until you feel it loosen.
- Gently pull the popsicle out of the mold.
- Enjoy your incredibly refreshing, homemade Watermelon Popsicle immediately!
It truly is the simplest, most refreshing treat you can make!
