Best Watermelon Mango Ice Pops Recipes

MANGO TURMERIC LASSI ICE POPS

Steps:

• Using a blender, puree the mango until smooth. Transfer the puree to a small bowl and stir in the cinnamon, ginger and turmeric.
• In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt and honey until combined.
• Alternate adding layers of mango and yogurt to ice pop molds, leaving 1/2-inch of space at the top. To get a marbled look, run a chopstick or knife through the molds to swirl the layers of mango and yogurt together. Place lids over the ice pop molds or insert ice pop sticks. Freeze for at least 6 hours.
• To easily remove ice pops from molds, run under warm water for 1 minute.

WATERMELON ICE POPS

Steps:

• Slice 2 thick pieces (discs) of watermelon from the middle of the fruit and remove the rind from both pieces. Cut each into 6 to 8 slices (wedges), depending on the size of the watermelon.
• Pour the tequila into a large bowl and soak the watermelon slices in the alcohol for 15 minutes, making sure each slice is completely submerged. One by one, slide an ice-pop stick at least halfway into each slice.
• Spread the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet so they aren't touching. Freeze until completely frozen, 3 to 4 hours.

LAYERED WATERMELON ICE POPS

Steps:

• Puree the watermelon with 1/4 cup of the sugar in a blender. Pour into a medium bowl and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes, until the puree resembles a slushy mixture, about 2 hours.
• Fold the chocolate chips into the watermelon slush and pour into six 3- to 4-ounce ice-pop molds, filling them about three-quarters full. Insert wooden or plastic (without guards) ice-pop sticks. Freeze until the mixture is just slightly set, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the coconut milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl and refrigerate.
• After 30 minutes, pour the coconut milk mixture on top of the watermelon mixture, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace at the top. Freeze until the mixture is just slightly set, about 30 minutes.
• Right before the coconut milk mixture is just set, puree the avocado, lime juice, 1/4 cup of water and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a blender until smooth and creamy. Top the coconut layer with the avocado mixture and freeze until solid, about 4 hours.
• Let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before unmolding.

WATERMELON, CHILI AND BASIL ICE POPS

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 basil and stir until completely wilted. Let cool completely at room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely mince the chile (seeded for less heat, if desired). Add the salt to the minced chile, and run your knife through the mixture several times until the salt starts to turn light pink; set aside.
• Put the watermelon and lime juice in a blender. Strain the basil syrup into the blender, pressing the basil in the strainer with the back of a spoon to extract as much flavor as possible; discard the basil. Puree the watermelon 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 ice-pop 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 sprinkle 1 or both sides of the pops with the chili salt, depending on how spicy you want your pops. Serve immediately with any remaining chili salt on the side.
