These popsicles are a great fat-free snack, made with lots of naturally sweet watermelon and only a little sugar. They can be frozen in special popsicle molds or in standard ice cube trays.
- 1 1/2 pounds seedless watermelon without the rind, cut into 1-inch dice (about 4 cups)
- 2 tablespoons sugar*
- 1/4 cup mint leaves, minced
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
- Pinch of salt
* To make sugar free, use a sugar substitute like xylitol (equal measurement as sugar).
Instructions
In a blender, puree the watermelon with the sugar until smooth. Stir in the mint, lemon zest and salt.
Pour the puree into 8 popsicle molds or 2 standard ice cube trays (insert popsicle sticks halfway through freezing) and freeze until hard, about 3 hours.
The watermelon popsicles can be frozen for up to 1 week.
