Author Notes
I have dabbled with sesame in sweet dishes before, and this recipe stemmed from wanting a watermelon frozen treat that looked like it had little watermelon seeds inside. —Emily | Cinnamon&Citrus
Ingredients
-
1/4
of a large watermelon, fruit cut away from the rind
-
1 cup
granulated sugar
-
1 cup
water
-
2 teaspoons
black sesame seeds
-
1 teaspoon
toasted sesame oil
-
small pinch of salt
Directions
-
Place your watermelon (seeds excluded) into a blender and blend into juice. You can alternatively use a juicer for a smoother final product depending on your preference.
-
Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar, water, and black sesame seeds in a small saucepan and bringing to a boil, stirring just until the sugar dissolves. Take off the heat and add the toasted sesame oil. Let the simple syrup cool to room temperature.
-
Combine the watermelon juice and simple syrup with a pinch of salt and freeze in popsicle molds, about 4 hours to completely set. Enjoy!
