Gluten Free Watermelon Popsicles
Gluten free watermelon popsicles with a layer of creamy coconut anyone? Yes, please! These fun, refreshing summer treats are simple to make. Plus, they're free from refined sugar, which means they're a healthy treat!
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups watermelon, seeds removed and diced
- 1½ cups strawberries, cut in half
- 1 lime zest only
- 2 tablespoon agave nectar *optional
- 1½ cups coconut milk
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Pour the coconut milk into a cup and add the chia seeds. Put it in the fridge while you make the watermelon puree.
- Cut the watermelon into bite size pieces, removing any black seeds (the white seeds are fine.) Wash the strawberries, remove the stem and cut them in half.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the watermelon, strawberries, lime zest and agave nectar (if using.)
- Fill the mould slightly over half way full. Insert the sticks and freeze for two hours.
- Take the ice lollies from the freezer and pour the coconut milk and chia seed mixture into the mould. Freeze for an additional hour.
Notes
- If you're having trouble removing the popsicles from the mold, run a bit of warm water over the mold, or leave them to rest on the counter for 10 minutes.
