These Watermelon Popsicles are more than just a watermelon popsicle. Created in individual layers, taking up a little bit of your afternoon in preparation time, start out by making the frozen watermelon layer with little chocolate chips inside. Freeze this layer before adding the coconut milk layer and then top with a delicious and tangy layer of frozen kiwi juice.
Your individual popsicles will have the perfect look, just like a watermelon, with pink, white and green layers! Fun and funky!
To make Watermelon Popsicles, you will need the following ingredients:
Place the watermelon, 2 tablespoon granulated sugar and lemon juice in a food processor and blend until well pureed and smooth. Skim off any excess foam from the top.
Pour watermelon mix into 10 popsicle molds, filling each about ⅔ full. Be careful to not mess around the sides and edges. Wipe off excess, if needed.
Sprinkle a few chocolate chips over the tops of the individual popsicles and gently push down to immerse into the watermelon mixture. Wipe sides clean, if needed.
Cover popsicles with a lid and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze for 3½ hours.
During the last 30 minutes of the first freezing period, whisk together the coconut milk with 1½ tablespoon sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill.
After chilling, the milky consistency should be pourable, if you find it too thick, add 1-2 tablespoon cold water and mix well to combine and thin out.
Remove popsicles from freezer, open and remove the lid and carefully pour a small tablespoon of coconut milk into an even layer over the frozen watermelon layer, into each individual popsicle. Wipe the sides clean, if needed.
Return to freezer, this time uncovered, and freeze for a further 45 minutes.
Slice the tops of the kiwi fruit off and scoop out the flesh, discarding the skins. Transfer to the food processor and blend with 2 tablespoon granulated sugar until well puréed and smooth.
Force the kiwi mixture through a fine mesh sieve, using a rubber spatula to remove the seeds. If you wish to add a drop of blue gel coloring, this will give you the best shade of green for your popsicles.
Refrigerate kiwi mixture for 30 minutes to chill.
Once the coconut milky layer has frozen, remove popsicles from the freezer and carefully add about 1 tablespoon kiwi mixture over the coconut milky layer to top each individual popsicle, evenly.
Return the popsicles to the freezer and freeze for about 2-3 hours until solid and frozen.
To remove popsicles from the molds, turn the try to the side and run the plastic molds under some warm water for few seconds to loosen the edges. Slowly pull from the molds and serve as is! Enjoy!
