Ingredients
- 4 cups Watermelon, diced and frozen
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup (adjust sweetness as desired)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting fresh watermelon into cubes, removing any seeds. Transfer the cubes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 4–6 hours or overnight.
Step 2
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen watermelon cubes, coconut milk, maple syrup, lime juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
Step 3
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides or use a tamper to help the mixture blend evenly.
Step 4
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
Step 5
Once blended, transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
Step 6
Freeze the mixture for 3–4 hours, or until firm but scoopable. If the ice cream becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping.
Step 7
Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy your refreshing vegan watermelon ice cream!
