How To Make Frozen Fruit Candy For Summer

Here’s a fun and refreshing Frozen Fruit Candy recipe inspired by tangy summer treats like watermelon lime sours—sweet, tart, icy, and perfect for hot days!

Frozen Watermelon Lime Sours

Ingredients:

• 2 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and frozen
• Zest of 1 lime
• Juice of 2 limes
• 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
• Pinch of sea salt
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch or tapioca flour (for coating)
• 1 tablespoon citric acid (for that sour candy punch—available at most grocery or bulk stores)

Instructions:

1. Blend the Base:
   In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the frozen watermelon, lime zest, lime juice, honey/maple syrup, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and thick like a sorbet.
2. Scoop & Freeze:
   Scoop mixture into small silicone candy molds or spoon into tiny dollops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until solid.
3. Candy Coating:
   In a bowl, mix cornstarch and citric acid. Once the candy is frozen solid, toss the pieces gently in the mixture to give them that signature sour-candy coating.
4. Serve Cold:
   Enjoy immediately, or store in the freezer in an airtight container for a sweet-sour frozen snack whenever you need it.

Optional Add-Ons:

• Try frozen mango + lemon juice for a tropical sour twist.
• Swap in strawberries or pineapple for a mix-and-match frozen candy platter!
