Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (530g) watermelon flesh, deseeded, chopped, and frozen
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Cut and deseed watermelon, then chop into cubes.
  2. Spread cubes on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 4–6 hours until solid.
  3. Place frozen watermelon cubes in a high-powered blender.
  4. Add sweetened condensed milk.
  5. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
  6. Transfer mixture into an airtight, freezer-safe container.
  7. Freeze for another 3–4 hours until scoopable.
  8. Thaw for 8–10 minutes before serving if too hard.

Notes

  • Use seedless watermelon to skip deseeding.
  • Always freeze immediately after blending to avoid texture separation.
  • Consume within 3–4 days to prevent ice crystal buildup.
  • Freeze in popsicle molds for watermelon ice pops.
  • Add toppings like mint, pistachios, or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
