Ingredients

• personal mini watermelon

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

• 1 tsp vanilla extract, optional

Directions

1. Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving about a 1/2 inch shell. Freeze both the watermelon flesh and shells for 4 to 6 hours, or until solid.

2. Pour the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla into the frozen watermelon shell.

3. Scrape the frozen watermelon flesh into the cream mixture, stirring until it becomes thick, creamy, and resembles soft serve ice cream.

4. For a firmer texture, freeze for an additional 30 to 60 minutes before serving.

   Tips:

   Freeze the watermelon completely for the creamiest texture.

   Top with fresh berries, mini chocolate chips, toasted coconut, or Tajín for extra flavor.
