Beat the summer heat with these super easy, sugar-free watermelon and coconut milk ice pops, perfect for soothing teething gums and keeping little ones hydrated.
Slice the watermelon, remove the rind, and carefully pick out all black and white seeds to ensure a safe, smooth texture for your baby.
Cut the seeded watermelon flesh into small chunks and place them into a blender.
Pour the full-fat coconut milk into the blender with the watermelon. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.
Pour the blended liquid evenly into baby-safe silicone popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top of each mold as the mixture will expand while freezing.
Freeze for at least 3 to 4 hours, or overnight, until completely solid. Before serving, run the outside of the mold under warm water for a few seconds to release the popsicle easily.
For babies under 2 years, full-fat canned coconut milk is highly recommended as they need healthy fats for optimal brain development and energy.
You can freeze the mixture in standard ice cube trays. Once frozen, place a cube inside a baby-safe mesh or silicone feeder, or gently pulse the cubes in a blender to create a soft, spoonable slush.
Yes, watermelon is a great early food! For younger babies just starting solids, you can serve the blended liquid chilled as a puree rather than freezing it, or allow the popsicle to melt slightly so it's softer on their delicate gums.
