Ingredients
- 500 grams Watermelon
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 50 grams Erythritol (or another low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Cut the watermelon into cubes, removing any seeds. Measure out 500 grams of watermelon and place it into a blender or food processor.
Step 2
Add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt to the blender. Blend until you get a smooth puree. Pour the puree through a fine sieve to remove pulp for a silky texture, if desired.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or hand mixer to whip the cream until light and fluffy but not fully whipped.
Step 4
Gently fold the watermelon puree into the whipped cream mixture using a spatula. Mix until well combined, ensuring not to deflate the cream too much.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Spread it evenly and cover with an airtight lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Step 6
Freeze the mixture for at least 4-6 hours or until firm. For a creamier texture, stir the mixture every 30-60 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up any ice crystals.
Step 7
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and serve immediately for the best texture.
