This is the summer of fruit, and my Viral Frozen Watermelon Shaved Ice. It&#;s brilliant way to transform watermelon into a healthy frozen dessert that everyone will love. The first time I made my own version of the viral shaved fruit ice, was in the form of Frozen Peaches and Cream. While it was delicious and a total success, I learned that grating frozen fruit by hand on a zester makes for very cold fingers. Now I use a rotary grater to spare myself from numb fingers and produce snow-cone-like results in seconds.

Why You&#;ll Love Frozen Watermelon Shaved Ice:

Sweet and juicy watermelon is the perfect candidate for frozen shaved ice. It has a high moisture content, and it&#;s packed with nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins. It&#;s a terrific fruit for hydration, which is a welcome bonus on these hot summer days. I top my shaved ice with a bit of the solid cream from the top of a can of coconut milk, but this is completely optional. If you don&#;t want to open a full can of coconut milk, you can also purchase coconut cream. Keep in mind, it is sometimes available in smaller size cans. You can also top this with sweetened condensed milk, ice cream, or even plain or vanilla yogurt. Additional sweetener is also optional, and you can add honey, maple syrup, agave, or any you like.

If snow cones were a part of your childhood, you will love this healthy take, that happens to be vegan, with no natural dyes.

Variations and Substitutions:

This fun summer recipe would taste delicious with different fruits such as peaches or strawberries. I would not recommend bananas though. If dairy is not a part of your diet, you could substitute for a dairy-free yogurt. Additionally, the amount of sweetener can be adjusted to your liking.

• Instead of watermelon, you could substitute another fruit such as peaches, strawberries, or mangoes. I wouldn&#;t recommend bananas, as the consistency would not be the same
• The cream that sits on top of a can of coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, or yogurt could be left out entirely. It can be replaced with a dairy or nut-free option depending on your dietary preferences
• for the sweetener, you can do as little or as much as you&#;d like. Sweetener could be from honey, agave, maple syrup or others of choice.

Common Questions:

Can I freeze the watermelon for longer than 2 hours?

Yes, you can! Let it flash freeze first, transfer it into a ziplock bag, and it can be used for months on end.

Can I make this recipe with other fruits?

You can absolutely use fruit like peaches, strawberries, mangoes, or any of your choice. I wouldn&#;t recommend bananas as you wouldn&#;t get the same consistency.

Can I use a dairy-free yogurt as the base?

You can use any dairy-free alternative that you love.

Watermelon may be the taste of summer, but with a little planning, prep and help from your freezer, you can enjoy its juicy sweetness all year long. Yes, that's right, watermelon is freezer-friendly. Freezing won't allow you to bite into a crisp and tender wedge of watermelon in the middle of winter, but it will allow you to make a Creamy Watermelon Smoothie or Watermelon Gazpacho. And it's a super-simple process. Read on for everything you need to know.

How to Freeze Watermelon

As with all food, freezing watermelon when it's ripe and fresh is essential. There's simply no point wasting precious freezer space on fruit that belongs in the compost heap. And just in case you are wondering, freezing a whole watermelon is best avoided&#;think of the freezer space it would require!

Before you freeze watermelon, remove the rind and the seeds. Watermelon seeds get rock hard in the freezer and are much easier to remove from fresh rather than frozen fruit. Seedless watermelon, of course, eliminates this step.

Next, think about how you want to use the fruit, keeping in mind that freezing changes the texture of watermelon, giving it a more pureed consistency. Cutting watermelon into chunks or scooping it with a melon baller will give you nice, evenly sized pieces, but if you plan to make smoothies or sorbets, randomly sized chunks are just fine.

After cutting the fruit, arrange it in a single layer on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for several hours until solid. Once frozen, the watermelon should be moved to freezer bags for longer-term storage. Taking this extra step will allow you to grab exactly what you need from the freezer rather than a massive chunk of melon. As always, label and date your freezer bags. Watermelon can be frozen for about eight months, which will just about take you to summer when it's in season again.

How to Thaw and Enjoy Watermelon

The best way to thaw watermelon is in the refrigerator, but depending on how you plan to use it, you may want to only defrost it partially or maybe not at all.

As watermelon thaws, it will have a more pureed consistency, which is why previously frozen watermelon doesn't make good fruit salads. If you want to snack on chunks, only thaw watermelon partially so it stays firm. Partially frozen watermelon is also ideal for frozen blender drinks, as well as frozen desserts and treats.

More Ways to Use Frozen Watermelon

You can also use frozen cubes and balls of watermelon as fruity ice in drinks, but you'll want to use those straight from the freezer. Chunks of watermelon can be frozen with other fruit if you plan to blend them to make smoothies, or combined with other fruit and fruit juices to make ice pops.

Another option is to freeze watermelon juice. Simply blend chunks of watermelon (no seeds, of course) in a blender and place in an airtight container, leaving an inch or so of space at the top for expansion. The juice should keep for about two months and can be flavored or enjoyed on its own.
