Easy Watermelon Popsicles

watermelon popsicles

The best thing about summer is fruit. As I sit here writing this, I am eating some of the best Washington Sweet Cherries that I have had in years. I love fruit. Cherries and grapes to snack on. Peaches, raspberries and apples for pies. A nice frozen mango for a smoothie. The list could go on and on.

But my all time favorite summer fruit is watermelon. What is not to love about watermelon? It is so perfectly sweet and refreshing on a hot day. Watermelon has a beautiful color and really dresses up any party setting. It is a great source of Vitamin C and cancer-fighting lycopene.

Watermelon is really a symbol for all things summer and almost magical when it appears at the local Farmer’s Market.

I love watermelon just like it is but if you have kids, they might just enjoy these Watermelon Pops as a snack after a long day of fun and play. They make great desserts for after dinner too!

 

Easy Watermelon Popsicles
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup of chopped watermelon
  • 1/4 cup of pureed watermelon
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients into a kitchen mixer (cream, pureed watermelon, and sugar) . Blend until sugar is well dissolved. Then pour into pop molds halfway. Add a few pieces of watermelon. Then pour the rest to fill just about to the top. Place in freezer for about 3 plus hours or until completely frozen. You can run under hot water to release from a plastic mold. ENJOY!

Tips for choosing a good watermelon:

Choose one that is free from bruises and firm. It should also be heavy for its size.

Watermelon should have a creamy yellow spot from where it sat while it ripened in the sun. A white or light green spot may mean it was harvested prematurely, which will negatively affect its taste, texture and juiciness. Usually, the larger the spot, the sweeter the melon.

    It’s so nice to get the fresh fruits in the summertime and I love watermelon! I have never been able to eat enough. From childhood on, it was a good as candy.
    I will be making these. They sound delicious.

    “Watermelon should have a creamy yellow spot from where it sat while it ripened in the sun. A white or light green spot may mean it was harvested prematurely, which will negatively affect its taste, texture and juiciness. Usually, the larger the spot, the sweeter the melon.”

    I am so happy to have learned this. Thumping for ripeness is a very inaccurate science. I have good luck at the Farmer’s market. But, at the grocery, I have taken to buying the ones that are halved so I don’t end up w/a green melon. It’s such a disappointment to cut into a melon that isn’t ready.

    OK we always have watermelon in the house every summer. It’s definitely the summer fruit and the kids just love it. This is a much healthier alternative to those sugary popsicles. Will have to give this a shot.
