Who’s to say when a popsicle is a popsicle? Let me be clear: these watermelon popsicles are frozen slices of watermelon on sticks. (Or not on sticks—you can freeze slices or wedges and use the rind for a good grip.) I tried making watermelon popsicles in molds, and I genuinely prefer the texture and flavor of these straightforward pops.
These watermelon popsicles are refreshing, simple, fruity summertime treats. Here are a few more reasons to make these watermelon delights:
They’re the easiest popsicles I’ve ever made, requiring only one ingredient and careful slicing.
They’re a great way to preserve extra watermelon. Watermelons can be massive.
They’re as healthy as popsicles can be.
They’re less messy for little kids to eat than fresh watermelon (watermelon juice stains are surprisingly difficult to remove from clothing). Adults will enjoy them, too, perhaps even more with a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of chili-lime seasoning.
Not to mention, how cute are the cookie-cutter shapes? The star shape would be so fun for Independence Day festivities or summer birthdays. I’m already planning to make these for Grace’s birthday party. You’ll find a photo tutorial and recipe below.
