Watermelon Fruit Slush
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Arrange the frozen watermelon chunks on a baking sheet or tray to ensure they are evenly frozen and not clumped together.
- Add the frozen watermelon chunks to the blender jar, making sure they are not packed too tightly so the blades can move freely.
- Pour the lime juice over the watermelon chunks to help with blending and add a touch of tangy flavor.
- Secure the lid on the blender and pulse a few times to break the chunks into smaller pieces, then blend on high until the mixture is smooth and frothy, about 30-45 seconds.
- Check the texture; if it’s too thick to blend smoothly, add a splash of cold water and blend again until silky and uniform.
- Scoop the slush into glasses, and serve immediately for the best icy, refreshing experience.
