How do I make it?
The sugar in this recipe is optional and can be omitted depending on your preference.
- Add watermelon, 1 ½ tablespoons sugar and lemon juice to a blender and blend to a puree.
- Skim off foam and carefully pour into 10 icy-pole molds, filling to about 2/3 full.
- Cover with the lid and insert the icy-pole sticks and freeze for three hours. You will need to give them a stir every 30 minutes as the watermelon juice tends to separate.
- After three hours, whisk coconut milk with 1 tablespoon of sugar until dissolved and chill for 30 minutes. The consistency should be pouring consistency and not too thick. If it has thickened too much add a couple of tablespoons of water to thin it out.
- Remove the popsicles from the freezer and pour 1 tablespoon of coconut milk mix in an even layer over the watermelon layer. Return to freezer and chill uncovered for 45 minutes.
- Peel the kiwi fruit and transfer the fruit to a blender with the remaining sugar. Pulse until pureed. Rub through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and then chill the puree for 30 minutes.
- Take the popsicles from the freezer and top each with about a tablespoon of the kiwifruit mix. Return to the freezer and chill until popsicles are fully set, about 2 – 3 hours.
- When ready to eat, carefully remove the pops from their molds and enjoy!
