Ingredients for these watermelon kiwi pops

These frozen pops are made in two stages. The first layer is made from kiwi, and the next layer is made from watermelon.

Make the kiwi layer

First, add your kiwi fruit to the food processor and pulse it until it is a thick consistency.

Don’t pulse too much or it will turn into a liquid. You want some body to the first layer so it doesn’t have to freeze too long.

Add the kiwi fruit into your popsicle molds. I filled 10 molds with the fruit.

Tap down the molds so the fruit is even. Then lightly wipe the insides of the top part of the molds so that there is no fruit on it.

I used the base of my popsicle molds but not the plastic tops. Since I will be making layers and don’t want to freeze the tops into the kiwi mixture.

Place the molds in the freezer for about an hour to let the first layer thicken.

Make the watermelon layer

Now that the look of the rind is freezing, we’ll move on to the watermelon fruit part.

First, clean your food processor, then place everything except for the chocolate chips into it. Pulse again until you get a thick consistency.

It’s such a pretty color and the coconut milk will make the frozen pops more creamy!

Pour into the frozen molds about ¾ full. TIP: Put the mixture into a measuring cup with a spout or use a funnel. Food processor bowls do NOT pour well!!

Add the chocolate chips to the the molds and gently push them down close to the edge of the mold so that they will look like seeds throughout the popsicles.

Normally you have to wait for a while to add the popsicle sticks but the sine the kiwi base is partially frozen, it holds them well.

Put them into the freezer again to freeze for 3-4 hours.

I got 10 watermelon kiwi pops out of this recipe, with each one working out to about 100 calories each using full fat coconut milk.

Watermelon kiwi pops tasting time!

I love the flavor of these watermelon kiwi pops. They are lightly sweet with a slight crunch from the chocolate chips.

The watermelon flavor comes through well and the extra layer of kiwi fruit is a nice sweet surprise.

Watermelon is just about one of the most refreshing summer fruits and using it in popsicles is a fun way to enjoy it.

They are easy to prepare the night before you plan to have guests over the next day and the kids will just devour them.

These pops are Paleo, gluten-free and dairy-free which makes them perfect for any clean eating diet. Enjoy!
