Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (710 ml) watermelon, cubed
- 4–5 kiwis, cubed
- ¾ cups (180 ml) coconut yogurt
Instructions
- Liquefaction: Pulverize watermelon into a silky, vibrant nectar using a blender, ensuring a completely smooth texture without chunks.
- Initial Freezing: Pour watermelon liquid into popsicle molds, filling one-third of each cavity, then freeze for three hours until firmly set.
- Yogurt Layering: Drape a delicate coconut yogurt layer across the watermelon foundation, creating a creamy contrast, and return to freezer for 90 minutes.
- Kiwi Transformation: Strip kiwis of their fuzzy exterior, chop into pieces, and blitz into a verdant, velvety puree using the blender.
- Final Composition: Cascade emerald kiwi liquid over the yogurt layer, filling molds to the brim and crafting a visually striking gradient effect.
- Complete Solidification: Submerge popsicles in freezer’s depths for six hours, allowing them to reach a perfect, frosty consistency.
- Unmolding: Release popsicles from their molds by briefly running under tepid water, unveiling the stunning tropical layers of flavor.
Notes
- Blend Precisely: Ensure watermelon and kiwi are completely smooth without any lumps for a silky, professional texture.
- Freeze Strategically: Allow each layer to set properly before adding the next to prevent mixing and maintain distinct color gradients.
- Unmolding Technique: Use lukewarm water for 10-15 seconds to easily release popsicles without damaging their delicate layers.
- Patience Pays Off: Total freezing time is around 7-8 hours, so plan ahead for perfect, fully frozen tropical treat.
