Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 1 large Ripe Seedless Watermelon Choose one that feels heavy and has a sweet aroma.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Can substitute with agave syrup or maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt Dairy-free yogurt can be used for a vegan version.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Fresh lemon juice recommended.
  • 1/4 cup Water Use sparingly for a smooth blend.
  • 1 medium Banana Optional; choose ripe for best flavor.

Equipment

  • Blender
  • mixing bowl
  • Fine Sieve
  • Freezable Container

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Cut a ripe seedless watermelon into quarters, removing the rind and seeds. Puree the fruit in a blender until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the watermelon puree, honey, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice. Whisk until well incorporated, 3-5 minutes.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a freezable container, pressing down with a spatula to remove pulp.
  4. Cover and freeze for about 1 hour. Then, cut the icy mixture into cubes.
  5. Blend the frozen cubes until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. For finer texture, blend every 30 minutes for 2 hours, scraping sides as needed.
  6. Pour the whipped ice cream into the container, smooth the top, and freeze for an additional hour.
