Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, diced

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)

2 cups ripe kiwi, peeled and sliced

1/4 cup coconut water (optional, for a tropical twist)

1 tablespoon agave syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Layer:

    - In a high-speed blender, add the diced watermelon, freshly squeezed lime juice, and honey (if desired). Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous. Taste the blend and adjust sweetness as necessary.

      Strain the Watermelon Mixture:

        - For a smoother consistency, strain the watermelon puree through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any pulp. This step is optional and can be skipped based on your texture preference.

          Create the Kiwi Layer:

            - In a separate bowl, add the sliced kiwi along with the coconut water (or a splash of regular water if you prefer). Blend until smooth. For a sweeter flavor, mix in agave syrup to taste.

              Layering the Pops:

                - Begin by filling your popsicle molds with a layer of the watermelon puree, making sure to fill each mold approximately halfway. Lightly tap the molds on the countertop to release any trapped air bubbles for an even layer.

                  - Transfer the molds to the freezer and let them set for about 1-2 hours, or until the watermelon layer is firm but not fully frozen.

                    Add the Kiwi Layer:

                      - When the watermelon layer is firm to the touch, carefully pour the kiwi mixture on top, filling each mold to the brim. Insert the popsicle sticks vertically into the molds.

                        Freeze Again:

                          - Place the molds back into the freezer and allow them to freeze completely for an additional 4-6 hours or overnight until they are fully solid.

                            Unmold the Pops:

                              - To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. After warming, gently wiggle the pops until they release easily from the molds.

                                Serve and Enjoy!:

                                  - Serve your Watermelon Kiwi Layered Pops immediately for a refreshing treat, perfect for cooling down on hot summer days!
