Instructions

Prepare the Watermelon Puree

Blend the cubed watermelon until completely smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining seeds or pulp for a smoother final product.

Combine Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine the watermelon puree, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Fill the Molds

Carefully pour the watermelon mixture into the candy popsicle molds, filling them almost to the top.

Freeze

Insert popsicle sticks into each mold and place them in the freezer for at least 8 hours, or until completely frozen.

Enjoy!

Once frozen, gently twist or pull the popsicles from the molds and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Candy Pops!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Watermelon Candy Pops

For a richer flavor, use very ripe, sweet watermelon.
Adjust the amount of sugar and lemon juice to your liking. Start with the recipe's suggested amounts and adjust from there.
If you don't have popsicle molds, you can pour the mixture into small paper cups and freeze them. Once frozen, remove and enjoy!
For a fun twist, add a few fresh mint leaves to the mixture before freezing for an extra refreshing flavor.
