Print Recipe

These frozen watermelon pops with lime and sea salt are a quick, easy, and refreshing summer treat that balances sweet, tangy, and salty flavors perfectly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed (about 600 grams or 1.3 pounds)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 2 medium limes)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (fine or flaky)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the watermelon into cubes, removing any seeds if needed. Measure about 4 cups (600 grams or 1.3 pounds) of cubed watermelon.
  2. Add the watermelon cubes to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and liquidy, about 30 to 45 seconds.
  3. Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Add honey or agave syrup if desired for extra sweetness. Blend briefly to combine, about 10 seconds. If the mixture is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water and blend again.
  4. Pour the watermelon mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Insert sticks and place molds on a tray to keep upright.
  5. Freeze the pops for at least 4 hours or overnight until solid. To remove, run molds under warm water for a few seconds and gently pull out the pops.

Notes

Use ripe watermelon with deep red flesh for best sweetness. Adjust lime and sea salt to taste. If pops are too icy, stir halfway through freezing or add a splash of water or sparkling water. Sea salt flakes can add a crunchy texture on top. Pops last up to 2 weeks in the freezer. To soften, leave at room temperature for 5 minutes or run under lukewarm water briefly.
