- To eat: run mold under hot water and gently pry away the popsicle from the mold, trying not to just pull the stick/handle out.
Troubleshooting Homemade Watermelon Popsicles
Some of the watermelon pulp may settle into the bottom of the popsicle mold. Just enjoy it. Having said that, watermelon juice can be run through a sieve to filter out the pulp for a smoother and more consistent popsicle texture.
The ice pop molds can be filled fuller than pictured, but it's hard to eat them when the bottom is filled.
Have leftover juice after filling up all the popsicle molds? Cool - freeze it in ice-cube trays or simply drink the watermelon juice.
Easy Homemade Watermelon Popsicle Recipe FAQ
It takes at least 4-6 hours for popsicles to completely freeze.
Store homemade popsicles in a pre-bought upright mold or in a disposable ice pop bag. Once they are frozen, they can be moved (still in the mold) to a ziploc bag and don't need to be stored upright anymore.
Things In My Kitchen:
- Popsicle Molds - BPA Free, reusable, and has a drip guard for catching the melting juice.
- Ice Popsicle Mold Bags - BPA free, disposable, and smaller than the reusable molds
