Ingredients
5 cups cubed (1-inch) seedless watermelon from about 3 pounds
1/3 cup liquid sweetener such as maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice from 1 medium lime
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
1-First, line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Then, spread the cubed watermelon on it and freeze until solid, about 3 hours.
2-Next, in a food processor or high-speed blender, add the frozen watermelon along with the sweetener, lime juice, and kosher salt.
3-Process the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed, which takes about 5 to 7 minutes.
4-Serve right away for a soft-serve feel, or transfer to an airtight container, press parchment or wax paper on top, and freeze for 2 to 3 hours until firm. If using a loaf pan, wrap it in plastic wrap to avoid ice crystals.
