Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups watermelon chunks seeded watermelon, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to enhance flavor and add saltiness to the popsicle

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Popsicle molds
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Use a knife and cutting board to cut the watermelon into smaller chunks, ensuring some seeds are included. Measure out 4 cups of the chopped watermelon.
  2. Place the watermelon chunks into a blender and add 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, about 30 seconds.
  3. Pour the blended watermelon mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion. Insert sticks and place the molds on a flat surface in the freezer.
  4. Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours or until fully solid. The mixture should become firm, with visible seeds encased in ice.
  5. Remove the popsicles from the molds by running warm water around the outside for a few seconds. Gently pull to release each frozen treat, showcasing the seed-studded icy texture.
