Prep Time: 4 Hours

Cook Time: 15 Minutes

Servings: About a dozen pops

Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Ingredients:

1 medium watermelon

1 1/2 cups coconut butter (Here's a recipe to make it homemade!)

Recipe Instructions:

Slice your watermelon into rounds about 1/2"-3/4" thick. Remove any obvious and visible seeds, but don't go digging for them and ruin the integrity of the watermelon.

Use your favorite cookie cutter (3" is a good size) to cut shapes out of the sliced watermelon. Lay the cut watermelon on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

Insert Popsicle sticks into the watermelon shapes.

Place in the freezer and freeze until solid, about 4 hours.

Warm your coconut butter (or have a freshly made batch of homemade coconut butter that is still in the liquid state from processing) by placing it in a small jar and floating that jar in a bowl or very hot water. Stir every once in a while. You want the coconut butter to melt back into a thick liquid state. If it is not thinning well, add a little coconut oil to it and stir. Add more hot water as necessary until it melts enough to spread.

Working with one pop at a time, pour a tablespoon or so of the coconut butter on the watermelon shape and use a butter knife to spread it around and on the sides, much like you are "icing" a cake. The coconut butter will harden rather quickly. Place the finished pop back on the parchment to finish hardening. Repeat with remaining pops.

Eat immediately, or store in the freezer in an air-tight container with parchment sheets between layers.
