Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen watermelon
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp lime zest
Instructions
- Cut the Watermelon: Begin by slicing fresh watermelon into spears for easier freezing and handling.
- Freeze the Watermelon: Place the watermelon spears in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until they are fully frozen and firm.
- Shave the Frozen Watermelon: Using a cheese grater, carefully grate the frozen watermelon spears into a large bowl to create a fluffy, shaved ice texture.
- Add Toppings: Drizzle honey over the shaved watermelon, then sprinkle with lime juice and lime zest to add a bright, tangy flavor.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the watermelon is thoroughly frozen before shaving.
- You can adjust the amount of honey to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- If you prefer a more intense citrus flavor, add extra lime zest or juice.
- Serve immediately after shaving for the best texture and freshness.
