Watermelon Popsicles

Some weeks back, I bought a not so red and sweet watermelon.  When I end up with a watermelon like this, I usually juice them.  But kids were asking for ice cream and instead of feeding them store bought sugar loaded ice cream, I decided to make some watermelon popsicles for them.  A much healthier version ;-)

I saw this recipe by Williams Sonoma but adjusted the recipe a little.  The sugar used seem too much so I went easy on it.  And instead of using salt, I added some lime juice which DH commented was a great combination ^-^

A perfect treat for a hot weather!
