Ingredients

• 1 large watermelon

Instructions

1. Slice the Watermelon: Cut the watermelon into 2cm-thick slices, ensuring even thickness to hold the pops well.
2. Cut into Wedges: Take each slice and cut it into triangular wedges to create manageable pop shapes.
3. Insert Sticks: Make a small incision in the center of the rind on each wedge just large enough to push in a lolly stick securely.

Notes

• Choose a ripe watermelon for the best natural sweetness.

• These pops are best consumed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
