These layered watermelon sorbet popsicles are a simple, refreshing summer treat featuring bright, fruity layers of watermelon, creamy coconut milk, and blueberry. Perfect for summer parties and easy to make with wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups watermelon, cubed and seeds removed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or honey (optional)
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or agave syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the watermelon layer: In a blender, combine cubed watermelon, lime juice, and sugar or honey if using. Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer for a smoother texture. Set aside.
  2. Make the coconut layer: In a medium bowl, whisk coconut milk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Cover and chill in the fridge.
  3. Blend the blueberry layer: In a blender, puree blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar or agave syrup until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Strain if desired. Keep chilled.
  4. Assemble the popsicles: Pour about 1/3 cup (80 ml) of watermelon mixture into each popsicle mold, filling one-third full. Freeze for 30-40 minutes until mostly set.
  5. Add the coconut layer: Spoon or pour about 1/3 cup (80 ml) of coconut mixture over the watermelon layer. Freeze another 30-40 minutes.
  6. Finish with the blueberry layer: Pour blueberry puree on top, filling molds to the top. Insert sticks and freeze at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Unmold and enjoy: Run warm water over molds for 10-15 seconds to release popsicles. Serve immediately or store in freezer-safe container.

Notes

Freeze each layer partially before adding the next to maintain distinct layers. Use ripe fruit for natural sweetness and adjust sugar accordingly. Shake coconut milk can well before use for creaminess. Work quickly during assembly to avoid melting layers. Silicone molds are recommended for easy unmolding.
