There is nothing more refreshing than big cold chunks of icy watermelon on a hot day so we have made it a little easier and given your watermelon a stick!

Ingredients

• 1/4 seedless watermelon
• popsicle sticks

Watermelon popsicles

Lay your watermelon on a chopping board cut side down.

Slice off the ends and then slice into large wedges.

Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit the size of a popsicle stick into the green skin of the watermelon.

Slide the pop stick into the wedge.

Lay on baking paper or stack, separated by baking paper, and freeze.

Note

• I used seedless watermelon for this recipe but you could also do it with rockmelon or honeydew melon.
