This is the best way to cool off from the heat! Plus, they are naturally sweetened! This recipe for Watermelon Basil Granita Popsicles are all you need.
1 lb watermelon cubed
1 lime, juice and zested
1/4 cup honey
4-6 fresh basil leaves
popsicle sticks
Dixie cups
plastic wrap
Place watermelon, lime zest, lime juice, and honey in a blender and blend until liquid. Add the fresh basil and blend until they are in small but visible pieces.
Pour mixture into Dixie cups, and place on a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and cut holes on top to insert the popsicle sticks so that they stand up straight (as seen in the photo above).
Place in the freezer for about 2 hours or until frozen. When ready to eat, dip each Dixie cup into warm water for a few seconds before tearing off of the cup to reveal the popsicle.
