My middle grandson was having a few friends over to celebrate his Birthday so I decided to make something the gang would definitely love. Watermelon Ice Cream! Easy to make, just allow time for it to freeze. It is a make the night before dessert and I top it with either whipped topping or Cool Whip..Whatever is easier. A great Summer Treat!
I used muffin cups to make it a little more party like but a 13 x 9 inch pan will work fine.
2 cups seedless (cute in medium size cubes) watermelon
4 cups vanilla ice cream softened
mini chocolate chips (optional) 1 cup beaten heavy cream or Cool Whip( for topping)
Soften ice cream on counter.
Drain watermelon (sometimes they are very juicy), add ice cream and blend into a consistency of a milkshake. There's an idea!
Add softened ice cream and blend thoroughly..Pour mixture into 13 x 9 inch pyrex or corning pan and refreeze until hard..Best if frozen overnight..
Easy to make and serve! Use ice cream scooper to scoop out and serve.. or maybe pops!!
Note: I poured my watermelon/ ice cream mixture into muffin cups and froze for a nicer presentation and I then topped with whipped cream and a strawberry, then put back in freezer to set.. Serve immediately....Refreshing!!!

| The strawberry was a little large..maybe a slice or two would be enough!! |

| First I pureed the watermelon and then added the softened ice cream. |

What a great idea, everyone seems to have an abundance of watermelon right now...
Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome! I think if you have the room in your freezer you could freeze it in a large bowl or large container..covered of course! I appreciate your comments..
