Watermelon Popsicles

Hi


Summer is in full swing and we can't think of anything else other than cool juices/ice lollies/ice creams. One such favourite in our house is Juice Popsicles which are refreshing summer treats for kids. Me and my daughter-in-law thought of preparing fresh fruit of watermelon Popsicles. Prajval likes this type of summer cooler very much.

Now a days one can developing a healthy attitude. Home made is best wherever possible. What you need is just the moulds.

OK Let us go to prepare.

Ingredients
  • Watermelon chunks                                2 cups
  • Sugar
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Cardamom powder
How I did it
  1. Blend watermelon chunks and sugar into juice.
  2. Add fresh lemon juice and cardamom powder and mix well.
  3. Pour the juice into your ice pop moulds leaving a bit of space at the top, as they will expand on freezing.
  4. Keep moulds in the freezer for 2-3 hours.


To get frozen Popsicles out of the moulds, run all sides of the mould under water for 10 seconds and gently pull out. Repeat putting it under water for 10 more seconds if it doesn't come out.

Enjoy the watermelon popsicles this summer.

If you don't have ice lolly moulds, then you can put the juice in any plastic glass. Leave it in the freezer for 1 hour. Then insert a wooden pop stick in the middle of the glass and freeze it again for another 2-3 hours. Wooden pop sticks are best as kids lick them and throw them out after finishing.
You can add pomegranate seeds also in the juice at the time of pouring mixture in pop moulds.
Instead of sugar you can add honey also.
