The main ingredient, watermelon, is cut into bite-sized pieces and frozen without additional sugar or flavoring, resulting in a pure, icy sensation with a refreshing appearance. The final product is a cold, grainy frozen treat resembling tiny icy rebellions of summer flavor.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large ripe watermelon seedless or de-seeded for ease

Equipment

  • Sharp knife
  • Large spoon or melon baller
  • Baking sheet or container
  • Freezer

Method
 

  1. Use the sharp knife to cut the watermelon into thick slices, then scoop out the flesh with a large spoon or melon baller to form small, round or irregular chunks.
  2. Arrange the watermelon chunks in a single layer on a baking sheet or a shallow container, ensuring they do not overlap to promote even freezing.
  3. Place the tray or container into the freezer and allow the watermelon to freeze for at least 2 hours, until the chunks become firm and icy with a granular, grainy texture.
  4. Remove the frozen watermelon from the freezer and, using a fork or spoon, stir gently to break apart large ice crystals, enhancing the grainy texture if needed.
  5. Serve immediately in small bowls or on plates, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lime for added flavor.

Notes

For extra texture, you can occasionally stir the watermelon during freezing. Serve immediately for the best grainy and icy experience.
