  • Watermelon – 4 cups cubed

  2. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds. Taste and add more sugar if your watermelon isn’t super sweet—but don’t overdo it.
  3. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a large liquid measuring cup. Press on the solids with a spatula to extract all the juice. Discard pulp. Tip: This step gives a silky texture; skip if you like a little pulp.
  4. Stir the strained juice gently, then pour evenly into your ice pop molds, leaving about ¼ inch of headspace at the top. Tip: Tap the molds on the counter to release any air bubbles—this prevents icy gaps.
  5. Insert the sticks according to your mold’s instructions (usually after a 30-minute partial freeze), then freeze until solid, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. To unmold, run the molds under warm water for 10–15 seconds until the pops slide out easily. Serve immediately or store in a zip-top bag in the freezer.

Just picture yourself on a blazing patio, one of these in hand—icy, minty, and impossibly smooth. The watermelon sweetness hits first, then that cool mint finish keeps you coming back. Pro tip: dip the tops in melted dark chocolate for a fancy twist.
