Equipment

  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Use a sharp knife and cutting board to cut the watermelon into evenly sized wedges, about 4 inches long and 1 inch thick at the widest part.
  2. Arrange the watermelon wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet or tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring they do not touch each other.
  3. Place the tray with watermelon wedges into the freezer, ensuring it is level. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until the wedges are completely firm and frosty to the touch.
  4. Remove the tray from the freezer. Check that the wedges are firm and have a frosty exterior. Use tongs to gently transfer the wedges onto a plate or serving dish.
  5. Serve immediately as a cool, icy treat with a frosty sheen and a vibrant red appearance. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lime for added flavor.

Notes

For a variation, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt or hot honey before serving.
