Everyone will love these refreshing Cantaloupe Popsicles with just a hint of mint! Just three ingredients + tons of fun.
Refreshing. Tasty. Fun.
In short, that’s the best way to describe these easy summertime popsicles!
Puree the cantaloupe with a simple mint syrup and keep frozen until ready to enjoy. My kids devoured these and it made me smile knowing they were getting in a whole serving of fruit, all while beating the heat.
Certainly you’ll want to make more, but this recipe will make about 8 – 3 ounce popsicles. Although it may not seem like much, it’s the perfect size for little hands that struggle to keep up with the hot sun melting their treats.
For a nice surprise while enjoying your popsicle, add in a few whole mint leaves to the puree after pouring it into the mold. This will add another splash of minty sweetness to savor!
Without a doubt, your kids will love them!
These are rather easy to make, so here’s the recipe!
