Print Recipe

These popsicles combine sweet, fresh watermelon sorbet with a spicy Tajin rim for a cool, refreshing summer treat with a kick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh watermelon, cubed and seeds removed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons Tajin seasoning (for rimming)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sugar syrup by combining 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  2. Place the 4 cups of cubed watermelon in a blender. Add the cooled sugar syrup, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes. For a smoother texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove pulp.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar syrup or honey. Blend briefly again if you add anything.
  4. Pour about 2 tablespoons of Tajin seasoning into a shallow bowl. Lightly wet the rims of your popsicle molds or cups with lime juice or water, then dip them into the Tajin to coat evenly.
  5. Carefully pour the watermelon mixture into the prepared molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion. Insert the popsicle sticks.
  6. Freeze the molds for at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture. A minimum of 4 hours can work if in a hurry.
  7. To unmold, run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh watermelon for best texture. Adjust sugar based on watermelon sweetness. Wet rims thoroughly before dipping in Tajin to ensure it sticks. Slow freezing improves sorbet texture. For less spicy rims, mix Tajin with sugar or do half the molds without rim. Variations include adding mint, mango, tequila, or coconut milk.
