With a combination of fresh watermelon juice and sweetened condensed milk, the flavor is irresistibly refreshing. Ideal for kids and adults alike, these popsicles are a fun and tasty way to enjoy the season.

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Watermelon Ice Cream Layer: In a large mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and watermelon juice until well combined. Add the mini chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed.

2. 2

   Pour the watermelon ice cream mixture into the watermelon-shaped popsicle molds, filling each mold about ⅔ full to leave space for the pandan layer.

3. 3

   Freeze for at least 1 hour or until the mixture is firm enough to hold its shape but not completely frozen.

4. 4

   Prepare the Pandan Whipped Cream Layer: In a clean mixing bowl, whip the remaining ½ cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the pandan extract and gently fold until well combined.

5. 5

   Spoon a small layer of the pandan whipped cream on top of the semi-frozen watermelon ice cream in each mold, creating the "rind" layer.

6. 6

   Insert popsicle sticks into each mold, ensuring they are securely positioned. Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours or until completely solid.

7. 7

   To release the popsicles from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds.

   Enjoy!
