## How to Make Watermelon Ice Cream

### 1. **Prepare the Watermelon**

Cut the watermelon into cubes and remove any seeds. Freeze the cubes for at least 2 hours until solid.

### 2. **Blend It Up**

In a blender or food processor, combine frozen watermelon cubes, cream, sugar, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

### 3. **Churn or Freeze**

* If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture in and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20–30 minutes).
* If not, pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze. Stir vigorously every 30 minutes for 2–3 hours to break up ice crystals and create a creamy texture.

### 4. **Serve**

Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately. For firmer ice cream, freeze an additional hour before serving.
