If your For You Page hasn't served you a watermelon getting scraped into soft-serve yet, consider this your sign. The internet's latest obsession turns a whole frozen watermelon into a creamy, dreamy dessert! No ice cream maker, no fancy equipment, just a spoon and a little patience.
We couldn't resist putting our own spin on it. A packet of ZeroLyte Salty Watermelon whisked into the cream doesn't just play up that sweet-salty flavor combo everyone's obsessed with and it turns dessert into a genuine electrolyte boost. Translation: this is the rare treat that tastes like summer and helps you actually rehydrate after a day in the sun.
Sweet, salty, ridiculously refreshing, and served straight from the rind and here's how to make it.
Ingredients:
-
1 watermelon, halved and frozen
-
1 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut cream)
-
1/2 ZeroLyte Salty Watermelon pack
Instructions:
-
Cut the watermelon in half. Use a spoon to scoop out a bowl-like hollow in the center of one half, leaving about an inch of flesh around the edges.
-
Wrap the hollowed half tightly in plastic wrap and freeze until completely solid, about 8 hours or overnight.
-
Remove the plastic wrap. If the melon is rock hard, let it sit out for a few minutes until it's just soft enough to scrape.
-
Whisk the ZeroLyte packet into the cold cream until dissolved.
-
Pour a little of the cream mixture into the hollowed center. Using a sturdy spoon or fork, scrape the frozen watermelon in long strokes, mixing it with the cream as you go.
-
Keep adding cream a little at a time and scraping until the mixture turns fluffy and resembles soft-serve.
-
Drizzle with honey. Serve immediately, straight from the rind.
