A delightful twist on classic watermelon popsicles, combining refreshing watermelon with creamy sherbet for a perfect summer treat.
Blend the watermelon and sugar in a blender until smooth.
Ensure the watermelon is fully pureed for a smooth texture.
Strain the puree through a mesh strainer into a large bowl to remove any pulp.
Use a spoon to press the puree through the strainer for maximum yield.
Freeze the strained puree in the bowl until it becomes slushy, about 2 hours.
Stir the puree occasionally to ensure even freezing.
Stir in the mini chocolate chips into the slushy puree.
Mix well to distribute the chocolate chips evenly.
Spoon the mixture into freezer-safe molds, filling them halfway.
Tap the molds gently to remove air bubbles.
Add a layer of lime-flavored sherbet on top of the watermelon mixture, filling the molds to the top.
Smooth the top layer with a spoon for an even finish.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze until solid, about 4 hours.
Ensure the sticks are centered for easy handling.
To serve, remove the popsicles from the molds by running them under warm water for a few seconds.
Gently twist the sticks to release the popsicles without breaking them.
