Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced) Watermelon
- 1 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened, canned)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional)
Instructions
Dice the watermelon into small cubes and remove any seeds. Measure out 4 cups of diced watermelon.
Place the diced watermelon in a blender and blend until smooth. If needed, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp for a smoother texture.
Add the coconut milk, vanilla extract, lime juice, and optional sweetener (if needed for sweetness) to the blender with the watermelon puree. Blend until all ingredients are well combined.
Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
Place the container in the freezer and freeze for 2-3 hours. Every 30 minutes, remove it from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture to break up ice crystals. Repeat this process until the mixture reaches a creamy, ice cream-like consistency.
Once fully frozen and creamy, scoop the watermelon ice cream into bowls and serve immediately.
Store any leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 week. Allow it to soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
