PRESENTATION

Once upon a time, there was a round watermelon that was undoubtedly the freshest in the world. Initially, it was simply enjoyed in slices, pure and strictly cold. Then we discovered it's also good in drinks, in salads, cut into cubes, or as savory finger food stuffed with cheese. Inspired by so much freshness and sweetness, we also created desserts and even an unconventional, delicious, and colorful pizza. This time, undecided between ice cream and cocktail, we chose not to compromise by creating watermelon popsicles with a pleasant alcoholic note to discover with the first bite. With a clever alternation of flavors, we simulated the typical watermelon colors, making these fresh and delicious sticks even more inviting!

INGREDIENTS
Ingredients for 10 popsicles: Watermelon 2.2 lbs (1 kg) - to clean; Vodka 4.2 oz (120 g); Greek yogurt ½ cup (120 g); Powdered sugar ¼ cup (35 g); Kiwi 1

Preparation

How to prepare Watermelon Alcoholic Popsicles

To make the watermelon popsicles, first cut the watermelon into slices, then remove the rind 1, cut it into pieces 2, and remove the seeds. Obtain 530 g (about 1 lb 2.7 oz) of pulp and pour it into the bowl of the blender 3.

Blend the pulp until you get a smooth mixture 4. Strain it through a sieve 5 and incorporate the vodka 6.

Mix and pour the liquid into the popsicle mold 7, leaving 1 inch of space from the edge 8. Close with the mold lid, position the sticks, taking care to secure them with small wooden clips so they don't fall to the bottom 9. Let them set in the freezer for 2-3 hours.

Meanwhile, pour the yogurt and 20 g (about 1/4 cup) of powdered sugar into a glass 10, mix to combine 11, and then transfer the obtained cream into a disposable piping bag without a nozzle 12.

After the chilling time, remove the popsicles, squeeze a layer of cream 13. Always leave some space from the edge, which will be filled with the last mixture 14. Close with the lid 15 and place back in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel the kiwi and cut it into pieces 16. Pour the pieces into the blender 17, add 15 g (about 1 tablespoon) of powdered sugar 18 and blend.

You should get a smooth sauce 19. After 30 minutes, take the popsicles and finish with the last green layer 20. This time fill to the edge 21.

Close again with the lid 22 and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours. When the popsicles are completely frozen, remove the cover, the sticks should remain firmly in the popsicle. You can place the mold under running water for a moment, being careful not to wet the popsicles: this will help you unmold the popsicles more easily. Gently remove the popsicles from each mold 23, being careful not to break them, and serve immediately. Your watermelon popsicles are ready to be enjoyed 24.

Storage

The alcoholic watermelon popsicles can be stored in the freezer, in the appropriate mold, for a month.

Advice

By omitting the vodka, the popsicles will become a refreshing summer snack for the whole family!

If you want to increase the alcoholic note, we advise increasing the amount by a maximum of 20-30 grams (about 3/4 to 1 oz) otherwise, there is a risk that they won't solidify!
