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 />
  1. 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.

  2. Strain the watermelon juice through a fine mesh strainer. Do this in batches if you need to and discard the fiber/foam.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Freeze overnight.

  6. Serve in wine glasses and pour cold prosecco over.
