1

Purée the watermelon in a blender until smooth and fluffy. Add the rose water to the purée and pulse to mix.

2

Fill 6–8 popsicle moulds to the halfway mark with the watermelon and rose purée, and place them in the freezer for 1 ½–2 hours or until frozen.

3

To make the coconut layer, place the coconut cream, honey or maple syrup and vanilla powder in a bowl and mix well. When the watermelon layer is frozen, fill the rest of the popsicles with the coconut mixture.

4

Insert the sticks into the popsicles and return to the freezer for 6–8 hours.

Notes

Honey is recommended for 12+ months only.

If you can find them, add a small handful of edible rose petals to the watermelon and rose pureé before freezing. Another option is to add little pieces of mint. 5–6 small leaves broken up will be a perfect addition.

You can use the leftover watermelon pulp to flavour a smoothie.
