    Watermelon and lime daiquiri popsicles

    • Preparation time: 15 minutes, plus freezing
    • Cooking time: 5 minutes
    • Total time: 20 minutes, plus freezing

    Makes: 8 x 75ml lollies

    Ingredients

    40g caster sugar, plus 2 tbsp extra
    4 limes, zest of 2, 55ml juice
    450g Waitrose & Partners Watermelon flesh (about ½ small watermelon), seeds discarded, roughly chopped
    50ml dark rum

    Method

    1. Put the sugar in a saucepan with 40ml water. Heat gently to dissolve the sugar then bring to the boil and simmer for 1 minute. Set aside to cool then stir in the lime juice.

    2. In a blender, whizz the lime syrup with the watermelon until very smooth. Add the rum. Sieve into a jug then pour the mixture into 8 x 75ml lolly moulds (or use paper party cups) and freeze for 1 hour. Push a wooden lolly stick into each ice lolly and freeze for 2 hours or overnight, until solid.

    3. To release the lollies, run warm water over the lolly moulds for a few seconds (or tear away the paper cups). Mix the remaining 2 tbsp sugar with the lime zest and dip the lollies in to serve.
