Equipment
- popsicle mold
- popsicle sticks
Ingredients
- 4 cups ripe seedless watermelon chunks, about one half of a small watermelon
- 12 ounces can frozen lemonade concentrate
Instructions
- Place the watermelon chunks and frozen lemonade concentrate in a blender or food processor. Process for 10-20 seconds or until the mixture is smooth. Pour this mixture through a wire mesh strainer to catch any seeds or solids.
- Fill up your molds, leaving about a quarter of an inch of room at the top because the mixture will expand when frozen. Insert the sticks and place the molds on a flat surface in the freezer for at least four hours.
Notes
To ensure your homemade watermelon popsicles turn out perfectly every time, here are some tips to keep in mind:
I used a silicone popsicle mold with ten three-ounce cups. This recipe makes approximately five cups or 40 ounces of watermelon lemonade mixture, so I had a bit left over to make a few extras. The size of your mold cups will determine how many popsicles this recipe will yield.
To easily fill your molds without any mess, it helps to use a small funnel.
To ensure a smooth texture and consistent flavor, thoroughly blend or puree the ingredients before pouring them into the molds.
If your popsicle mold requires inserting sticks, ensure the sticks are centered and secured in the designated slots or holes for molds with attached lids.
If using alternative molds, cover them with foil or plastic wrap and insert the sticks through the covering into the mixture. This will help keep the sticks in place and ensure they freeze straight.
If using silicone molds or alternative molds such as paper cups, ice cube trays, or muffin tins, use a tray or baking sheet to keep them stable. Ensure the molds are level to prevent the mixture from spilling or freezing at an angle.
Once removed from the molds, store the popsicles in a freezer-safe container or individually wrap them in plastic wrap for the best results. This prevents freezer burn and helps maintain keep them fresh.
