These popsicles capture the pure, sweet essence of ripe watermelon in a frosty, refreshing treat. A simple syrup base ensures a smooth, scoopable sorbet texture without icy crystals, making them the ultimate summer cool-down.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon chunks (about 1/2 of a medium melon)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
  • A tiny pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Make the simple syrup. Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture simmers. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. While syrup cools, cube the watermelon to get 4 packed cups, removing any seeds.
  3. In a blender, combine the cooled syrup, watermelon chunks, lime juice, and salt. Blend on high for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth.
  4. For a super smooth texture, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pouring vessel (optional).
  5. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving 1/4 inch space at the top for expansion. Insert sticks.
  6. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until completely solid.

Notes

To unmold, run the mold under warm water for 5-10 seconds. For a smoother texture, do not skip the simple syrup or the straining step. Leftover mix can be frozen as a granita.
