Watermelon Kiwi Fruit Pops (Printable)

Vibrant dual-layer frozen treats combining sweet watermelon and tangy kiwi for refreshing summer snacking.

# What You'll Need:

→ Watermelon Layer

01 - 3 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
02 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
03 - 1-2 tablespoons agave syrup (optional)

→ Kiwi Layer

04 - 3 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
06 - 1 tablespoon agave syrup (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Combine the cubed watermelon, lime juice, and agave syrup in a blender. Purée until completely smooth.
02 - Pour the watermelon purée evenly into popsicle molds, filling each about two-thirds full. Gently tap the molds on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles.
03 - Place the molds in the freezer for approximately 1 hour, or until the watermelon layer is slightly firm but not fully solid.
04 - While the first layer sets, blend the sliced kiwi, lime juice, and agave syrup until smooth.
05 - Once the watermelon layer has firmed up, pour the kiwi purée on top, filling each mold nearly to the rim. Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold.
06 - Return the molds to the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until the pops are completely solid throughout.
07 - Run the outside of each mold under warm water for a few seconds to loosen, then gently pull the popsicle out by the stick.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These require zero cooking and almost zero effort, which is exactly what summer dessert should demand of you.
  • The two tone look is genuinely gorgeous and makes people think you worked way harder than you actually did.
02 -
  • Do not skip the partial freeze between layers or you will end up with a muddy brown swirl that still tastes fine but loses that striking two tone look entirely.
  • Running the molds under warm water instead of forcing the pops out prevents the sticks from pulling out of the fruit and leaving you with a sad broken pop.
03 -
  • The riper and sweeter your fruit the less sweetener you need, so shop with your tastebuds and not just your eyes.
  • Freeze the pops overnight for the cleanest release and the most satisfying crunch when you bite in.
