Watermelon Popsicles (Paletas de Sandía)

Ingredients

• 5 cups of fresh watermelon chunks
• 2 Tablespoons sugar or 2 packets of stevia natural sweetener
• ½ Tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps

1. 1

   In a blender, puree the watermelon until all chunks are gone.

2. 2

   Strain the mixture if to remove any seeds.

3. 3

   Add the sweetener and lime juice. Blend again until everything is pureed well.

4. 4

   Pour mixture equally into 10 popsicle molds. Attach covers and sticks. Note: don't overfill the popsicle molds, as the mixture will expand as it freezes.

5. 5

   Freeze popsicles upright until firm, at least 3 hours or up to 2 weeks.

6. 6

   Hold each mold up to the rim under warm running water just until paletas are released from sides of molds, 5 to 15 seconds. Remove covers and pull out popsicles.

7. 7

   Eat immediately or store in freezer.
