Description
A refreshing and naturally sweet frozen watermelon slush perfect for hot summer days. Made with just a few simple ingredients, this icy treat combines the natural sweetness of watermelon with bright lime juice for the perfect balance of flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups seedless watermelon chunks, frozen
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Freeze watermelon: Cut watermelon into chunks and freeze for about 2 hours until completely solid
- Blend base ingredients: Combine frozen watermelon, lime juice, and honey in blender. Blend until smooth
- Adjust sweetness: Taste mixture and add more honey or syrup if needed for desired sweetness level
- Add ice for texture: Add ice cubes and blend again until you achieve the perfect slushy consistency
- Serve immediately: Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with lime slices or fresh mint leaves
Notes
- Freeze watermelon chunks on a baking sheet first to prevent clumping together in storage
- Chill your serving glasses in the freezer for 15 minutes before serving for longer-lasting slush
- Choose ripe, sweet watermelon for the best flavor – it should feel heavy for its size and have a creamy yellow spot
- If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the watermelon thaw for 5 minutes before blending
