Layered fruit ice "Watermelon" topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 3 cups seedless watermelon, diced and chilled
- 0.5 cups of ultrafine sugar
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- Juice of 1 lime
- Special equipment: 6 fruit ice cube trays with a capacity of 100-120 ml with plastic or wooden sticks without lids
Preparation:
- Puree the watermelon with 1/4 cup sugar in a blender. Transfer to a medium bowl and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes, until the puree resembles a slushy mixture, about 2 hours.
- Stir the chocolate chips into the watermelon mixture and divide the mixture into six 100-120 ml (3-4 oz) ice cube trays, filling them about three-quarters full. Insert wooden or plastic popsicle sticks. Freeze until slightly set, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine coconut milk and 2 tablespoons sugar and refrigerate.
- After 30 minutes, pour the coconut mixture over the watermelon mixture, leaving 0.5 cm from the top of the molds. Freeze until the mixture has set slightly, about 30 minutes.
- Just before the coconut mixture sets, blend the avocado, lime juice, 1/4 cup water, and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until smooth. Spread on top of the coconut layer and freeze for about 4 hours, until the popsicles are firm.
- Before serving, leave at room temperature for 5 minutes, then remove from the molds.
