Ingredients

  • 4 cups Watermelon-cubed

  • 2 tbsp Sugar

  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice

  • 5 Kiwi fruit-peeled and diced

  • 2 tbsp Mini chocolate chips

  • .5 Coconut milk

Directions

  • Watermelon Layer
  • Add the watermelon, half of the sugar, and the lemon juice into a blender and blend until smooth. Take off foam.
  • Pour into popsicle moulds, until they are about two-thirds full. We made 12, but you might find you have leftover liquid. Just adjust the recipe next time you make it!
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over your popsicle moulds, pushing them down into the moulds to be the ‘seeds’ in your watermelon.
  • Insert popsicle sticks (this recipe only works with ‘open’ sticks’ i.e. no cover on the bottom.
  • Freeze for 3 hours.
  • White Layer
  • Whisk coconut milk with remaining sugar until sugar has dissolved. Chill.
  • Once the mixture is thick and cold, pour a layer into each of your popsicles.
  • Return to freezer for 30-45 minutes.
  • Rind Layer
  • Blend kiwi fruit together in processor until smooth. If your fruit isn’t that ripe, you can add additional sugar here. You can also run this mixture through a strainer if your children have an issue with the texture of the seeds.
  • Chill mixture, and once cool fill the popsicle moulds up the rest of the way with this mixture.
  • Return to freezer for about 2-3 hours, or until solid.
