Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, diced into small cubes

2 ripe kiwis, peeled and cut into thin slices

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

A pinch of sea salt

1 cup coconut water (or substitute with regular water)

Popsicle molds and sticks

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Purée: In a blender, combine the diced seedless watermelon, honey (if using), freshly squeezed lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend the ingredients until smooth. If you prefer a bit more texture, pulse the mixture a few times to retain some small watermelon chunks.

    Layer the Popsicles: Carefully fill each popsicle mold about two-thirds full with the watermelon purée. Ensure there's enough space left at the top for the kiwi layer.

      Add Kiwi Slices: Gently place the sliced kiwis on top of the watermelon layer in each mold. You can arrange the slices in a decorative pattern for a visually appealing effect.

        Incorporate Coconut Water: Pour a small amount of coconut water (or regular water) over the kiwi slices until the molds are filled to the top. This addition creates a refreshing layer that beautifully complements the watermelon and kiwi flavors.

          Insert Popsicle Sticks: Carefully insert the popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered and straight.

            Freeze the Popsicles: Cover the molds with their lids or secure them with plastic wrap. Place them in the freezer for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until the popsicles are completely firm and solid.

              Unmold and Enjoy: To remove the popsicles from the molds easily, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds until they loosen. Enjoy your refreshing frozen treats on a hot day!
