Ingredients
  

  • 1 large Watermelon preferably seedless, peeled
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tsp lime juice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup crushed ice optional for texture

Equipment

  • Sharp Knife
  • Blender
  • Freezer
  • Bread Loaf Pan or Shallow Container

Method
 

  1. Use a sharp knife to cut the watermelon into rough chunks, removing the rind and seeds.
  2. Place the watermelon chunks into a blender with water, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and uniform, with no large pieces remaining.
  3. Mix in crushed ice if desired for a chunkier, more textured consistency. Pour the mixture into a bread loaf pan or shallow container, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  4. Place the container in the freezer. Allow the mixture to freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid, checking periodically. Once frozen, the mixture should be firm and sliceable.
  5. Remove from the freezer and, using a sharp knife, cut into wedge-shaped slices that resemble watermelon wedges. Serve immediately for a refreshing, icy treat with a crunchy rind and juicy interior.

Notes

For a more realistic rind texture, consider lining the pan with a thin slice of watermelon rind or decorating the edges after slicing.
