Ingredients to Make Watermelon Whip
- 1 small seedless sweet watermelon, cut into cubes and frozen
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (use vanilla if you like it sweeter)
- 2 teaspoons honey (or adjust to taste)
How to Make Frozen Watermelon Whip
1. Prep the Watermelon
Start by cutting the watermelon into small cubes. Look for a really sweet watermelon for the best flavor! Lay the cubes on a baking sheet and freeze them until solid. This will give your whip that sorbet-like, slushy texture. SO GOOD!
2. Blend it All Up
Add the frozen watermelon to your blender along with the Greek yogurt and honey. Important: don’t dump in all the watermelon at once. Blend in batches so your blender doesn’t get overwhelmed. If it gets too thick, stop and stir, or add a bit more yogurt to smooth it out.
3. Serve Immediately
Once it’s smooth and creamy, serve it right away for the best soft-serve style texture. Scoop it into bowls, waffle cones, or—for bonus fun—right into the hollowed-out watermelon shell!
Tips & Tricks to Make Watermelon Whip
Store leftovers in the freezer—just let it thaw a few minutes before scooping!
Use a high-speed blender to get a velvety smooth finish.
For a dairy-free option, sub in coconut yogurt or even frozen banana.
Add more honey or maple syrup if you like it sweeter.
