Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar water
- 1 cup chopped seedless watermelon
- 2 to 4 drops McCormick® Red Food Color (optional)
- 1 cup sugar water
- 1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Imitation Coconut Extract
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 cups sugar water
- 2 teaspoons McCormick® Raspberry Extract
- 5 to 7 drops McCormick® Blue Food Color
- popsicle sticks (soak the sticks in warm water for at least 30 minutes) or tray that fits in your freezer
Instructions
- Sugar Water Mixture
- Bring water and sugar to boil in small saucepan on medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar.
- Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature.
- (Red) Watermelon Layer
- Pour syrup into blender container. Add watermelon and cover.
- Blend on high speed until smooth. Using a measuring cup with a spout or the OXO measuring beaker, pour watermelon mixture popsicle molds to fill 1/3 of the way (for my popsicle molds, that means 0.8 ounce). Freeze for 1 1/2 hours or until set.
- (White) Coconut Layer
- In a measuring cup, mix together coconut milk, sugar water and coconut extract. Fill the freezer pop mold until it is 2/3 of the way full.
- Add the aluminum top and add the popsicle sticks. Freeze for 2 hours or until set. At about 1 1/2 hours, remove the aluminum top and put popsicle molds back into the freezer.
- (Blue) Raspberry Layer
- Add sugar water mixture to another measuring cup. Stir in raspberry extract and add blue food color. Mix well. Pour into the freezer pop mold until full and freeze 4 hours or overnight or until firm. Follow manufacturer instructions on how to remove the popsicles.
- After unmolding, popsicle sticks can be stored in zippered plastic bags in the freezer, use wax paper to keep them separated.
