Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 5 cups of watermelon, cubed
- Juice of 2 limes
Instructions
- Freeze the watermelon: Cut the watermelon into cubes and spread them out evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet in the freezer for at least 4 hours to freeze the watermelon solid. For longer storage, transfer the frozen cubes to a freezer-safe bag.
- Prepare the slushie: Allow the frozen watermelon to thaw slightly for a few minutes so it blends more easily. Then add the thawed watermelon cubes and the fresh lime juice into a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture reaches a slushie consistency. If blending is difficult, let the watermelon thaw for an additional 5-10 minutes and try blending again.
- Serve immediately: Pour the watermelon slushie into glasses and enjoy right away for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a high-speed blender for the best slushie texture.
- You can adjust the amount of lime juice to taste depending on your preference for tartness.
- If you prefer a sweeter slushie, a small amount of honey or sugar can be added before blending.
- Make sure to consume immediately after blending for optimal icy texture.
- Freezing watermelon cubes in a single layer prevents clumping and makes blending easier.
