Honeydew-Basil Pops

Our first popsicle attempt was a success! We proceeded straight to advanced techniques and used star shaped pear slices inside the pop. Forget fancy tools, we just used a chopstick to place them onto the mold. Interestingly these tasted very similar to a mojito and were delicious.We were skeptical, but it really works!

Recipe:
18-1inch honeydew melon cubes (9oz chopped)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
4 large basil leaves
3 Tbsp water
1Tbsp + 2 Tsp of sugar

Combine Ingredients in blender and puree for 30-60 seconds until basil leaves are fully broken down (we used hand blender). Chill popsicle base and pour into molds for 9 minutes. Makes 6 pops.

    It was so much fun! They definitely looked a little bit wet when the 9 min were up, but that was just an illusion...they were actually perfect! The pear freezes nicely, too so it blends well with the pop!

    So excited to try more when I get back to San Francisco!
