Description
Transform your favorite summer fruit into a refreshing, icy treat perfect for hot days. This batch-freezing technique ensures individual, non-clumping chunks of watermelon that are perfect for snacking, adding to beverages, or creating instant smoothies. It is a healthy, hydrating way to reduce food waste and preserve peak flavor for months.
Ingredients
4 cups fresh watermelon, cubed and seedless
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange watermelon chunks in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
Place the pan in the freezer and freeze for 2 to 8 hours.
Once fully frozen, transfer the chunks to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag.
Store in the freezer for 3 to 6 months.
Notes
Ensure chunks are uniform in size for an even freeze. Add fresh mint leaves on the tray before freezing for an aromatic boost. Let sit at room temperature for 2 minutes before eating for better texture.
