Ingredients

4 cups watermelon, cubed and seeds removed

1/4 cup maple syrup, honey, or sweetener of choice (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Watermelon: Cut watermelon into cubes, remove seeds if necessary.
  2. Blend the Watermelon: Place watermelon cubes in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  3. Sweeten the Mixture: Add sweetener of choice and blend until fully incorporated. Adjust sweetness as needed.
  4. Freeze the Gelato: Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or silicone loaf pan, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 3-4 hours. Stir every 30 minutes for creamier texture.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop into bowls or cones. If too hard to scoop, let sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
  6. Optional Garnish: Top with fresh mint leaves, extra watermelon chunks, or a sprinkle of sea salt.

Notes

For a citrusy kick, add lime or lemon juice.

Mint leaves can be blended for a refreshing twist.

Add berries or coconut milk for extra flavor or creaminess.
