 Red, White & Blue Fruit Popsicles Recipe

Homemade fruit popsicles are incredibly easy to make and they are oftentimes better for you because you control the amount of sugar and added ingredients that you use.  These festive Red, White & Blue Fruit Popsicles are made with just five ingredients – watermelon, lemon, blueberries, coconut milk and sugar.

You can make these ahead of time for your 4th of July celebration you may be hosting.  They take about 15 minutes to prepare each layer, but they need several hours in-between to freeze, so you’ll need to plan ahead if you are making these for 4th of July.

Be sure to take advantage of the hot deals on fresh whole watermelon from Safeway to make these homemade fruit popsicles.

How to Make Fruit Popsicles

Fruit popsicles are so easy to make.  You can either use fresh or frozen fruit that you puree in a blender or use fruit juice.

Simply pour into the molds and freeze.  When I make fruit popsicles for the kids, I don’t ever add extra sugar, but these special layered popsicles need a little sugar for the coconut milk and blueberries, which can be quite tart.

For the first layer of these red, white and blue, you’ll start with fresh-cut watermelon that you puree in a blender with a touch of sugar and lemon juice.

Add this mixture to the popsicle molds and add the popsicle sticks and freeze for about 3 hours to set.  Just before removing the popsicles from the freezer, make the second layer which is coconut milk and sugar.

Freeze the 2nd layer for 30 minutes and then prepare the 3rd layer, which is the blueberry layer by pureeing blueberries with lemon juice and sugar and adding to the mold and freezing again for at least an hour, or even overnight.
