These popsicles combine sweet watermelon, tangy lime, spicy tajín, and bold chamoy for a refreshing and flavorful summer treat inspired by Mexican flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon (fresh and ripe)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 12 limes)
  • 1/4 cup chamoy sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 teaspoons tajín seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water (to adjust consistency if needed)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Remove the rind and cut about 4 cups of seedless watermelon into chunks.
  2. Place the watermelon chunks in a blender with 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon of agave nectar (optional), 1/4 cup of water, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Adjust with water if needed.
  3. Stir in 2 teaspoons of tajín seasoning into the watermelon puree. Taste and adjust spice preference.
  4. Drizzle about a teaspoon of chamoy sauce into each popsicle mold. Swirl with a toothpick for a marbled effect or leave as a base layer.
  5. Pour the watermelon mixture into each mold, leaving a little room at the top. Insert popsicle sticks.
  6. Freeze molds for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. To unmold, run warm water on the outside of the molds for a few seconds. Garnish with extra tajín and a squeeze of lime if desired.

Notes

Blend watermelon very well for a smooth texture. Adjust lime juice to balance sweetness. Swirl chamoy for a marbled effect or layer at the bottom. Store popsicles in airtight containers to prevent freezer burn. Variations include adding mango, tequila, or coconut milk for different flavors and textures.
