Summer watermelon icy poles
These healthy watermelon icy poles are as cute and colourful as they are tasty. Here’s how to make this perfect mid-summer treat.
Serves: 10
Ingredients:
- 2 cups blended watermelon (about 1/4 of a large watermelon)
- 1 Fresh Young Thai coconut
- Juice of 1 lime
- 3 Kiwis
Method:
- Using a blender, mix up the fresh watermelon until it forms a liquid. Pour it into icy pole moulds to ¾ full. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for 3-4 hours until firm.
- Blend the coconut water and white coconut flesh together until smooth. Add the white liquid to the mould so that it creates a thin white layer on top of the watermelon layer. Freeze for 2-4 hours.
- Peel and blend kiwi fruits and lime juice. Fill the last remaining space in the moulds with the liquid and freeze again until all layers are hard. Serve on a hot summer’s day.
