Melon Popsicles, Melon Ice lollies are such a treat on a hot summer day. These popsicles are sugar-free with no artificial flavours used. Melon popsicles are made with fresh watermelon and cantaloupe and a little extra sweetness from the honey.
Homemade Melon popsicles are a great option as compared to store-bought ones. Moreover, it allows you to adjust the ingredients we are using. If you have kids at home, then this is the best way to treat them. You can totally avoid honey in this recipe. However, I have added 1/2 tsp honey in this recipe.
