Watermelon Mint Prosecco Popsicles
The sweet watermelon with mint which makes this both sweet and refreshing. Karen
- 1 unseeded watermelon, cut into pieces.<br /><br />
- 1 handful of mint leaves<br /><br />
- Sugar, optional<br /><br />
- 1 bottle Cold Prosecco<br /><br />
-
In a blender, blend the watermelon chunks and blend until completely pureed and watery. Add the handful of mint leaves and blend until mint has disappeared. Taste with a spoon and add more mint if you like more or sweeten with sugar or honey if you like a sweeter popsicle. Keep adding and blending to taste.
-
Strain the watermelon juice through a fine mesh strainer. Do this in batches if you need to and discard the fiber/foam.
-
Pour the juice into popsicle molds. If some foam develops on top use a popsicle stick to remove or deflate the foam. There shouldn’t be a lot.
-
Place the cap on the molds and freeze. After about 2-3 hours, stick the popsicle sticks into the molds. By allowing the popsicles to par-freeze the sticks will stay in place and be even.
-
Freeze overnight.
-
Serve in wine glasses and pour cold prosecco over.
