Ingredients
 
 

For Watermelon Part

  • 3 cup chopped watermelon
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 limes juiced
  • Pinch salt

For the rind

  • ½ cup coconut yogurt Use thick Greek-style yogurt if possible, see note*.
  • 6 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 8 fresh basil leaves
  • Cacao nibs optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a blender, blitz watermelon, maple syrup, lime juice, and salt. Divide into the popsicle molds, leaving about an inch unfilled on top. Freeze while preparing other ingredients.
  • In a small blender, combine yogurt, maple syrup, and lime juice. Give a quick blend or mix with a spoon. Scoop the mixture (about 2 teaspoons) and gently arrange it into the popsicle mold over the watermelon layer. Freeze while preparing the green layer.
  • Add basil to the remaining yogurt mixture and blend until smooth. Gently arrange it over the yogurt layer. Cover and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze until sold, about 4 hours to overnight.
  • Run the mold under water for 5-10 seconds to help release the popsicle. Remove from the mold. Sprinkle cacao nibs and enjoy.
