Ingredients
- 1 watermelon
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- 11. Cut a medium‑sized seedless watermelon in half and scoop out the bright red pulp, discarding the rind.
- 22. Place the extracted pulp in a large bowl and mash it lightly to break up any large chunks.
- 33. Spread the pulp evenly onto a rimmed baking sheet, forming a thin, uniform layer about 1‑inch thick.
- 44. Place the sheet in the freezer and let the watermelon freeze solid for approximately 4 hours, or until completely hardened.
- 55. Remove the frozen watermelon slab from the freezer and break it into smaller chunks that will fit into a blender or food processor.
- 66. Add the frozen watermelon pieces to the blender, then drizzle in 1 tablespoon of honey.
- 77. Blend on high speed, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy; if the texture is too thick, blend for an additional 30 seconds.
- 88. Taste the mixture and add a tiny extra drizzle of honey if you prefer more sweetness, then blend briefly to incorporate.
- 99. Transfer the smooth watermelon ice cream to serving bowls or cones.
- 1010. Serve immediately for a soft‑serve texture, or return to the freezer for 30 minutes for a firmer scoop.
- 1111. Garnish with a small mint leaf or a thin slice of fresh watermelon, if desired, and enjoy.
