Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Watermelon, diced and frozen
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup (adjust sweetness as desired)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Begin by cutting fresh watermelon into cubes, removing any seeds. Transfer the cubes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 4–6 hours or overnight.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen watermelon cubes, coconut milk, maple syrup, lime juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides or use a tamper to help the mixture blend evenly.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
Once blended, transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
Freeze the mixture for 3–4 hours, or until firm but scoopable. If the ice cream becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping.
Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy your refreshing vegan watermelon ice cream!
