When I was a little girl my grandma worked out a daily deal with the “paleta man” (ice cream man who pushed a cart) where she’d give him ice water and he could sit on our porch to rest and in return he’d give me a free popsicle. It was pretty awesome, but on days that he didn’t come by we always had a backup of these ice tray popsicles.

You can totally make them in fancy popsicle molds, but in a pinch these ice cube trays work just fine.

Ingredients

• 2 cups seedless watermelon
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/8 cup sugar (optional)

Method

Step 1

Add ingredients to a blender and blend until liquefied.

Step 2

Pour into an ice cube tray and cover with a large piece of foil. After, I usually gently press down on the foil to get the indentation of the tray. Put toothpicks in the middle of each cube and freeze overnight.
