There is nothing simpler and more refreshing on a hot summer day than a fresh bowl or watermelon “ice”. Cut up a nice sweet watermelon and add it to your freezer in advance. Waiting for the watermelon to freeze is the longest part so if you do it in advance you will be so happy with your past self.

This recipe is vegan or easily adaptable to any dietary restriction. Its as simple as throwing everything in a blender and presto you have watermelon ice to enjoy.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups frozen watermelon
  • 1-2 tbsp of monk fruit sugar (feel free to use any sweetener you have on hand)
  • 1/2 cup of vanilla almond milk (any milk will work well for this recipe so use what you have on hand). You can add 1/2 tsp of vanilla to add the vanilla flavour to other milks.
Before Blending

Tips & Tricks:

  • Picking Your Watermelon: Everyone knows that this is the hardest part about watermelon. I always use the method of looking for the “ugliest” watermelon. So if it has a light brown patch or some veins on it then I pick that. I have also been told that if you knock on the watermelon and it sounds hallow then its good too. Let me know what method works the best for you.
  • Watermelon: cut up your watermelon into 1 inch cubes before freezing. This will save a lot of time and also speed up your freezing time as well.
  • Milk: Vanilla almond milk is a great choice for watermelon ice since its naturally rich and comes with the vanilla already added. Oat milk would provide a nice reich creamy flavour as would traditional dairy milk.
  • Blending: If you notice that some of the chunks of watermelon are not incorporating try blending the mixture in two parts. You can also adjust the consistency of your watermelon ice by adding more or less milk to the mixture. It should be nice and smooth when you are done blending.

Prop tip* Make sure the watermelon is seedless or it will not end up smooth.
