Description
Sweet and refreshing cantaloupe popsicles flavored with fresh mint, lime zest, and white rum! Recipe makes 10 popsicles.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup sweet mint leaves, crushed
- Zest of 1 lime
- 3 cups cantaloupe, pureed
- 2 Tbsp white rum
Instructions
- Combine water and sugar in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil then simmer until sugar has completely dissolved, 5-6 minutes. Remove syrup from heat and stir in mint leaves and lime zest; let steep 30 minutes. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and discard solids.
- Stir in cantaloupe puree and rum. Fill each popsicle mold with 1/3 cup mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch of space at the top of each mold.
- Let freeze one hour before inserting popsicle sticks; continue to freeze until completely firm, 4 to 6 hours more.
- Run molds under hot water 30 to 45 seconds before unmolding, or let stand at room temperature 5 minutes. Wrap popsicles individually in plastic wrap and store in the freezer up to 3 weeks.
