For 8 Person(s)
Cream
- 1 small Galia melon, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
- 1/2 cups simple syrup (equal amounts of water and sugar, heated until sugar dissolves), cooled and divided
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, strained
- 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Picante Galia Melon Ice Pops Directions
- In a food processor or blender, puree the melon until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium-size bowl.
- Add 6 tablespoons of the simple syrup, then the lime juice, salt and cayenne and taste. It should taste just a bit too sweet (once frozen, it will lose some of its sweetness). Add the remaining simple syrup if needed.
- Transfer to a liquid measuring cup and pour into ice-pop molds (or shot glasses as shown in our photograph). Insert the sticks and freeze until completely solid, about 4 hours. Unmold just before serving.
