4-Count Popsicle Mold

Ingredients

Watermelon Popsicles

3 cups fresh watermelon, chopped
¼ cup unsweetened canned coconut cream, full fat only using the coconut solids from the can; refrigerate the overnight
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Magic Shell

3 ½ ounces chocolate chips
1 tablespoon cold pressed refined coconut oil

Instructions

Popsicles

For the Coconut Solids - We are using the solids from a can of unsweetened coconut milk. It is best to refrigerate the can at least overnight - to allow the solids and liquid to separate. You will have extra coconut milk, that you can use in smoothies!
In a large blender or food processor, add the watermelon, coconut cream from the can, honey, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
Pour the popsicle mix into your popsicle molds. Freeze overnight (at least 8 hours).

Magic Shell

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals - stirring after each interval - until the chocolate has melted and the mix is smooth. In total, it may take up to 90 seconds for the chocolate to melt.
Allow the chocolate sauce to cool slightly - at least 3 minutes. Then either dip the frozen popsicles in the chocolate sauce or drizzle over the top with a spoon. The chocolate will harden almost immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

Serving Size - The recipe can be doubled (or tripled) just fine. If you can't find a 4-Pop Popsicle Mold.
Coconut Milk - You can use regular carton coconut milk instead of canned. However, the canned coconut milk makes the popsicles creamy.
