Super delicious! And a real great way to remedy a watermelon that wasn’t very sweet. For an adult version top with rum!

I would really like to try this. The one thing that I have a question about is: How shallow should the pan be? I am new to cooking since my hubby was the cook and he passed away several years ago.

Super easy and refreshing!

So easy and delightful and pretty! For added twist, I made a mint simple syrup! Try it!
Jennifer Cruz
Love this recipe! We used lime instead of lemon and added a little fresh mint for extra zing..
Brittany Herrera
I made this recipe into Popsicles, my children love it!

Thanks to another poster for the suggestion of mint! I used less sugar, mostly lime juice instead of lemon (had to use some lemon because I ran out of lime), and picked some mint (out of all the herbs I’ve planted, I’m enjoying the mint the most!) to add. I pulsed this all up in my Ninja (out of all the small kitchen appliances I’ve purchased, I’m enjoying my Ninja the most LOL), and stuck it in the freezer. It came out delicious, and I do think the mint was a great addition.

Great recipe. A friend of mine makes this almost everytime we’re there for dinner and she adds freshly chopped mint leaf to it and it makes a WORLD of difference. It’s the same mint leaf that Persians use in tea ans is often referred to as nanna. You can always try adding a little afterwards in case you don’t like it but trust me just adds that perfect kick of freshness to a very sweet dessert.

easy recipe. came out beautifully but way too sweet. Adjust your sugar accordingly to your fruit’s sweetness
Mary Garcia
THis recipe turned out great. I did not use sugar bc I thought it would make it too sweet. The watermelon was already sweet. One thing I should have done was strain the watermelon puree to remove the white seeds–makes a better presentation. It was good!
