Watermelon-Strawberry Popsicles
It’s official. Summer is here, and what’s better than a popsicle on a hot summer day?
Better yet, a vegan ice pop blended with fresh summer fruit for a grown-up version of the season’s ice cream truck classics… and best of all, they’re kid-approved!
Ingredients
- 3/4 Cup sliced strawberries plus 2 cups whole strawberries, divided
- 2 cups cubed seeded watermelon
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Press sliced strawberries to the insides of six 3-ounce freezer-pop molds.
- Combine whole strawberries, watermelon, lime juice, brown sugar and salt in a blender. Puree. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl, pressing on the solids to yield as much juice as possible. (Discard solids.) Divide the mixture among the prepared molds and insert sticks.
- Freeze until solid, about 6 hours.
- To make ahead: Freeze for up to 3 weeks.
- Equipment: Six 3-oz. freezer-pop molds
