Watermelon Whole Fruit Popsicles
Cool down this summer with homemade fruit popsicles!
You’ll save money and avoid sugary treats for the kids by making your own.
Plus, by adding in pieces of whole fruit, these healthy treats become quite beautiful and irresistible!
3 cups watermelon puree (about 1/4 to 1/2 a watermelon)
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
1 peach or nectarine, diced small
handful fresh cherries, pitted and chopped
Cut the watermelon into chunks and then puree it in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
Set out about 1 dozen popsicle molds (amount needed will vary depending on size of molds). Fill each one with the chopped fresh fruit. Then pour in the watermelon puree until each mold is full to the top. Place a popsicle stick into each one. Place into your freezer and freeze for about 6 to 8 hours.
When ready to serve, run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds and then pull each one out.
You can replace the watermelon puree with honeydew melon or cantaloupe puree. Use any fresh organic fruit you have on hand. I like using contrasting colors because it makes the popsicles look so pretty! And don’t forget to use seedless watermelon…you know the old saying if you sallow a watermelon seed they grow out your ears…and we wouldn’t want that to happen now would we!
