Recipe Type: Dessert
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 8 cups seedless watermelon chunks, divided
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint or basil (optional)
Instructions
- Place half of watermelon in a food processor and process until smooth. Pour into a 9×13-inch glass baking dish. Add remaining watermelon to the processor along with honey and lime juice and process until smooth. Pour into the baking dish, stir until combined, and place uncovered in the freezer.
