Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Watermelon
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract (optional, ensure it's Whole30 compliant)
Instructions
1. Cut the watermelon into chunks, removing the rind and seeds. Measure 4 cups of watermelon and freeze the chunks on a lined baking sheet for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Once the watermelon chunks are fully frozen, add them to a high-speed blender or a food processor along with the coconut cream, fresh lime juice, and optional vanilla extract if using.
3. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides or use a tamper to help the blending process.
4. Taste the mixture and adjust if needed: add more lime juice for a tangier flavor or a touch more vanilla (if compliant) for added depth.
5. Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer ice cream texture.
6. Scoop, serve, and enjoy a delicious Whole30-compliant dessert!
