Watermelon-Lime Popsicles
Last night I hosted a little Glee-watching party at my place and decided that some icy treats would make for a fun dessert. My friend Brooke gave me an amazing popsicle mold for my birthday (she knows me well) that I couldn’t wait to try. I bought a fresh watermelon at the farmers’ market last weekend and blended it with a few teaspoons of superfine sugar and lime juice and then pureed the light part of the rind for the base of the popsicle. It took hardly any time at all (aside from the freezing process), and they were a refreshing departure from the ridiculously fattening desserts I typically make.

Well, now, THESE look like the perfect fruit dessert! Anything watermelon-flavored is a friend of mine.
Popsicle molds are so fun! I usually make pineapple strawberry. I’ll have to give the watermelon lime a try.

Hi Emily!

My husband eats two popsicles a day, even in winter! I’ll have to pass this along to him.
I must do the same!!! I just feel that I must!!!
So cute! I love watermelon. I’ll have to try my hand at popsicle making.

I need to buy me some popsicle molds. My mom had some when I was kid and as soon as it started getting hot, the freezer would be filled with multi-colored popsicle molds.
This post brought back some lovely kiddie memories!
This is great!! I also have these “forms” but didn’t know what to put in.. thank you for great tip.
Looks delicious. I’m going to try making them when it gets warm out again!

Looks AND sounds yummy! How did they all respond to it?
I brought some popsicles (watermelon lemonade) to a potluck at work last year and they were a big hit! They really are a lto more fun than the usual desserts at these things.
Ahh these look amazing! I’m going to have to try them… and I’m sure my boyfriend wouldn’t mind a little sweet surprise either
Thanks for the idea!

Yum. My mother used to make us homemade “paletas” or popsicles in Spanish. She would use yogurt with fruit sometimes, which is delish.
Thanks for the great post, I was just thinking the other day that I wanted to buy some molds…

The molds are adorable, and great idea with the “rind.”
I discovered your blog some days ago, and I fell in love with it. Not only you talk about fashion and beauty tips, but you also talk about food. Wich is a weird and cool combination for a blog.
This post…loved it. I want to try it when we have water melon season back.

Oh my goodness, they look so delicious. So pretty and I could almost taste it from here… I would love to try this for my daughters. They will fall in love, I’m sure! xoxo
I told my best friend I would use the Popsicle mold that I bought someday, much to her protest. Thanks for helping me prove her wrong, Emily! These look AMAZING.
