Note: Make sure the base of the ice cream maker is frozen overnight before making this recipe.
- Chop the watermelon. Place the watermelon, sugar, lime juice, and ice in a blender and blend until a smooth juice forms, then add ice and blend again.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze for 20 to 25 minutes. The texture will be icy and creamy at this point. If desired, place in a container and freeze for 1 hour for a harder texture that forms into scoops. You can freeze up to 2 hours day of (stir before serving). Freezing overnight makes a very icy texture. If you have leftovers the next day, allow them to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. To improve the texture, you can pulse in a blender or food processor if desired.
