Greek-style Watermelon Ice Cream
A refreshing and light ice cream recipe made with watermelon
Equipment
- Ice cream maker
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh watermelon cubed (seeds removed)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the watermelon cubes and Greek yogurt.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, add honey or maple syrup, and blend again.
- Optionally add a few drops of vanilla extract for a richer flavor.
- Pour the mixture into individual ice cream molds. If you prefer, you can also freeze it inside a bread loaf tray covered in parchment paper.
- Cover and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until it hardens to your desired consistency.
- Once frozen, remove it from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Kids usually prefer it in a popsicle form.
- For adults, follow the same procedure before scooping, if you prefer to serve it that way.
Notes
- Scoop and serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or let it freeze longer for a firmer consistency.
- You can mix in other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or peaches.
- I recommend the Cuisinart ice cream maker to make your life easier and your ice cream better!
