Watermelon pineapple ice lollies/ Popsicles

Ice lollies ,Popsicle or freezer pops, are the hottest frozen treats in summers. Not only the kids, but the grown ups love it as much.And these are so very easy to make , in hundreds of exciting and refreshing flavours and are easy to stack at home for weeks.

Making ice lollies at home, is also a great way to actively involve kids in some creative activities. They will love making ice creams at home. Blending up all the colourful fruits and pouring it into different ice cream moulds is quite enticing and exciting for the kids.

Waiting for the lollies to freeze feels like forever for kids… but I like to think it secretly teaches them patience.

And honestly, seeing their excitement when the lollies finally slide out of the moulds — totally worth it.

Ingredient & Substitutions

Watermelon and Pineapples : Of course as it is watermelon and pineapple ice lollies, you need these two fresh fruits. Watermelon is hydrating, naturally sweet, and gives a beautiful colour. Pineapple on the other hand adds a tropical tang and balances the sweetness

Sweetener:You can use any sweetener of your choice. Honey as an option is natural and mild. Maple syrup has a deeper flavour. You can also use sugar as i have used in this recipe or simply skip the sweetener entirely if the fruits are very sweet.

Lemon juice: I add lemon juice as it enhances flavour of the fruits and prevents dull taste.

Add watermelon slices to a blender. Add 1 tsp sugar or honey and a few drops of lemon juice. Blend everything until smooth

Notes

I used sugar as a sweetener, but you can use honey, maple syrup, or any other sweetener of your choice.
Also if you are using a fruit that is naturally very sweet, you can avoid adding any sugar/ sweetener.
Adding lemon juice is optional, but it enhances the fruit flavour.If you find it too tangy, you can just add 3-4 drops instead of a tsp of lemon juice.
The qty above will make approximately 5 small ice lollies. If you want to increase the qty, you can adjust the ingredients qty accordingly.
