Watermelon Kiwi Popsicles.

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The warm weather is a perfect time to cool off with these watermelon kiwi popsicles. They’re full of fruit and a refreshing dessert for summer! These are just a pretty to look at as they are delicious to eat.

Summer is almost here, and that means that it’s time for all the popsicle and ice cream recipes. It’s always a good idea to have a few homemade popsicle recipes to fall back on, just in case you can’t find your favorite allergy friendly brands at the store.

Plus, it’s just fun to make a batch of colorful lemon fruit popsicles or rich chocolate sunbutter ice cream pops.

One of my sons isn’t crazy about eating a lot of fruit, but I can get him to eat more fruit when I blend it up and freeze it into popsicles. If you have a picky eater, you know how tricky it can be to get them to eat a variety of things.

popsicles made with watermelon and kiwi on a white background

Special Equipment

This recipe made eight popsicles using a standard sized mold. You can find them on Amazon or at most home goods stores. If you have a smaller popsicle mold, just reduce the amount of fruit, or make it all and drink the leftovers – watermelon juice is the best!

If you don’t have a mold, you can try making these the old fashioned way, in paper cups with popsicle sticks or in an ice cube tray.

Variations

I liked the look of the pink and green together – it kind of looks like a watermelon with a green rind, but you can use whatever fruit you like. If you want to stick to the pink/red/green, try strawberries, raspberries, cherries, or honeydew melon.

The fun thing about making popsicles is that you can be really creative.

Tips for Success

Let the watermelon layer freeze for a bit until firm, then add the kiwi and freeze again. Otherwise the fruits will get all mixed up and won’t look pretty.
When you want to remove the popsicles from the mold, run warm water on the outside of the mold and gently pull on the sticks to remove.
Taste your kiwis! I used the worst kiwis in the world for this recipe. Seriously, they ripened but never got sweet – they were like lemons! Ugh. If you have normal kiwi fruit, you can probably reduce the amount of sugar, or use another sweetener of your choice.

Storage

Store popsicles in the freezer in a freezer safe container or bag. They should stay fresh for 1-2 months.

FAQs

Can you make popsicles without a mold?

Yes, you can try to make popsicles in paper cups with wooden sticks.

How do you freeze popsicles so that they stay fresh?

I recommend storing them in a freezer bag or an airtight container to keep them fresh. If you want to make sure they don’t stick together, you can try wrapping them in waxed paper before placing them in the bag.
