Watermelon Popsicles
The weather has been all over the place these past couple weeks.
In fact… last week I had both the heater, then the air conditioner on, then the heater again.
Over the weekend… the air conditioner went back on.
I think the AC is here to stay. We’re slowly falling into the classic DC summer. This means heat, humidity, and mosquitos.
When I think about summer… two things come to mind….
Watermelon, popsicles, and white wine.
Wait a minute… that was three things…
During the summer, there’s nothing better than an ice cold slice of sweet watermelon!
Its sweet, cold, and refreshing.
This past weekend I purchased a watermelon the size of my entire upper body.
Knowing that it would be impossible for us to eat it all without it spoiling, I decided to make us some popsicles!
These were so easy to make.
I just threw some chunks of watermelon in the food processor and pulsed away.
So easy and refreshing!
Ingredients:
- Watermelon chunks
Directions:
Place watermelon in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour blending watermelon through a strainer to make sure you don’t get any seeds in popsicles.
Pour watermelon into BPA-Free popsicle holders. Place sticks/tops on. Freeze overnight or at least 4 hours.
Enjoy!
Oh I bet these are so refreshing and delicious. Such a pretty color, too!
okay, it’s official. I need a food processor.
Thanks for sharing!!
Our weather has been all over the place, too! Hot, cold, HOT, freeeeezing. Ugh. Watermelon ice pops sound sooo good. Now, if I could only pry the fresh version from hubby’s hands, I could try this sometime, LOL.
