🍒 Why We Love This Recipe

  • Summer treat: What's more refreshing than a popsicle? Nothing's better than coming inside on a hot day, opening up the freezer, and cooling off with a frozen treat.
  • Just five ingredients: These couldn't be any simpler, with just 5 ingredients that you may already have on hand. These are also a great way to use up leftover watermelon!
  • Sweet, but not too sweet: fresh, ripe watermelon, cherries and raspberries make these popsicles perfectly sweet without too much added sugar. We add a small amount of agave to kick up the sweetness a bit, but you can also make these completely sugar free if preferred.

🍉 Ingredients

Here's everything you'll need to make our watermelon berry popsicles:

📋 Ingredient Notes

  • Choice of sweetener: Agave, honey, or even maple syrup are all viable options, so feel free to use any of those. Since we're using fruit, the popsicles will have a good bit of natural sweetness, so you can leave out the additional sweetener altogether if you'd like.
  • Choice of berries: We put cherries and raspberries in our pops. Since cherries can be slightly annoying to pit, we'd endorse using strawberries as an alternative there. These would also be great with peaches, nectarines, blueberries, blackberries, or any other summer fruit of your choice.
  • Lime juice: be sure to use freshly squeezed lime juice in this recipe, not the stuff that comes in a bottle. It makes a big difference in the freshness and flavor!

🔪 Step-by-step Instructions

(1) Add watermelon, raspberries, cherries, lime and agave to a blender.

(2) Blend until completely smooth.

(3) Pour into popsicle molds leaving a bit of room at the top (so they can expand) and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. 

(4) Let soften for a few minutes or run under warm water for a few seconds before removing from popsicle molds.

💭 Expert Tips and FAQs

  • The key to perfect homemade popsicles is a great popsicle mold. We use a stainless steel mold and it has never failed us. The easiest way to remove these pops is to run the mold under warm-ish water for just a few seconds.
  • Agave, honey, or even maple syrup will work well in this recipe. If you want, you can also leave out the added sugar altogether. They're still naturally sweet!
  • We think that cherries are underutilized, like a lot of other pitted fruit, so don't let those pits scare you! You can use a cherry pitter, or you can also rip those pits right out with your hands. Since everything's going into the blender, they don't have to look nice.
