Why You’ll Love These Vegan Popsicles

These kid-friendly watermelon popsicles are easy to make. Gluten-free and dairy-free and the taste - sweet, tangy and minty.

Ingredients

This recipe needs just 6 ingredients.

Bowl of cubed watermelon on table

Seedless Watermelon

Fresh Lime Juice

A Few Mint Leaves

Sugar

Pectin - optional but it’s totally worth it, read why below.

Why Pectin?

Pectin, sugar and alcohol all help to lower the freezing point of the popsicle to ensure you don’t get rock hard, icy popsicle.

Pectin is a good ingredient to keep in the pantry. And you’ll definitely get your money’s worth. We use it in to make simple microwave Strawberry fruit jam.

Half a teaspoon of pectin for each cup of the liquid mixture will do the trick; you'll get a softer, smoother texture popsicle by adding the pectin.


Equipment

Silicone Popsicle molds - we recommend silicone over metal because it is flexible which makes releasing frozen pops easier.

You can order online through Amazon or pickup molds at Wal-mart or Target.

Tip

If you do not have popsicle molds you can also buy Disposable Ice Popsicle mold bags as a alternative.

Directions For Mint Simple Syrup

Of course you can buy simple syrup. But its super easy to make and will save you money and extra additives.

Make a double batch of simple syrup. This mint simple syrup is great for making sweet tea, cocktails or mocktails too.

  • Put crushed mint leaves, sugar and water into a heatproof large oversized glass container stir to dissolve the sugar
  • Microwave on high around 5 minutes
  • Will bubble some but is ok because you have it in oversized container
  • Set aside

After it’s cooled transfer to a container with a lid, something like a measuring cup with a lid or mason jar, then refrigerate. Its great to have simple syrup on the ready for mix drinks, coffee and tea.

How To Make Watermelon Lime Popsicle?

These watermelon popsicles are a perfect frozen treat to beat the heat. They are the perfect easy and no baking involved summer treat.

Make simple syrup (see directions above) 

Add cubed watermelon to blender and blend until a smooth puree 

Combine watermelon purée, mint simple syrup, juice from lime and a few chopped mint leaves 

Pour liquid into popsicle mold

Storage

Store popsicles in freezer, they will stay fresh in the freezer for 2 months.

    These are the business. The limes really make these pops. Next time will make these into a boozy frozen cocktail.
