I chose watermelon as my star ingredient for a myriad of reasons. Red foods have a rich history of being included in Juneteenth celebrations for spiritual and historic reasons alike. Furthermore, you may be surprised to learn that the watermelon originated on the continent of Africa. What better way to celebrate Juneteenth than by enjoying sweet, refreshing delicious watermelon. Hungry for more? Try my keto-friend Lemon-Rosemary pound cake.

What Tools Will I Need?

These watermelon kiwi ice pops are incredibly simple to make, but you will need a few easy to find tools.

  • Ice Pop Mold – these are inexpensive and very easy to find. I’ve linked an option below in the recipe.
  • Popsicle Sticks – most ice pop molds come with the sticks already included. If not, you can pick up a pack of popsicle sticks at most grocery stores for less than a buck.
  • Blender – nothing fancy. Just good enough to blend up your watermelon and kiwi.

What Ingredients Do I Need for Watermelon Kiwi Ice Pops?

  • Watermelon – This may go without saying, but you want to remove the seeds. Check out this post from The Kitchn for tips on choosing the very best melon.
  • Lime – we’re using the juice of one lime to mix with the watermelon. The blended flavors turn into something absolutely delicious.
  • Kiwi
  • Water
  • Chocolate Chips – you’re probably like…what? Listen. This is a complete optional ingredient that can be added purely for aesthetic purposes if you wish to mimic the aesthetic of watermelon seeds.

How to Make Watermelon Kiwi Ice Pops

  • Once you’ve blended the watermelon and kiwi (separately), most of the work is already done. The majority of the time will be spent waiting for the ice pops to freeze.Remove seeds from the watermelon. Place the watermelon and lime juice in blender, and pulse for 10-20 seconds.
  • Pour the watermelon mixture into the ice pop mold in even portions. Add chocolate chips as desired. Remember to add the popsicle sticks.
  • Freeze for 2-3 hours or until solid.
  • Peel and puree the kiwi fruit before combining with the water.
  • Add the kiwi mixture to the ice pop mold in even portions, layering on top of the watermelon. 
  • Freeze an additional two hours or until frozen solid.
