Time 8h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup sugar
1 large bunch cilantro, stems and leaves roughly chopped (about 1 packed cup)
3 cups 1-inch cubes honeydew melon
Zest and juice of 1 lime (about 1 teaspoon zest and 2 tablespoons juice)
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Bring the sugar and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely melted, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the cilantro and stir until completely wilted. Let cool completely at room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
  • Put the melon, lime zest and juice and a pinch of salt in a blender. Strain the cilantro syrup into the blender, pressing the cilantro in the strainer with the back of a spoon to extract as much flavor as possible; discard the cilantro. Puree the melon mixture until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender partway through if needed. Transfer the mixture to a large liquid measuring cup with a pouring spout.
  • Pour the mixture into the molds, leaving 1/4 inch of space at the top (the mixture will expand). Insert the sticks. Freeze until solid, 5 hours to overnight. Unmold, and enjoy immediately.
