Frozen Watermelon Bites

This dish involves pureeing fresh watermelon and freezing the liquid in individual portions to create icy, spoonable treats. The main ingredients are watermelon and water, resulting in a bright, refreshing texture that resembles chilled fruit juice in frozen form. The final appearance features small, crisp cubes or spheres of vibrant pink or red ice with a smooth surface.

  3. Using a spoon or a small ladle, evenly distribute the watermelon puree into a silicone mold or onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. For cubes, use a silicone mold; for discs, spread evenly with a spatula on a tray.

  4. Place the mold or tray in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until completely solid. The mixture should be firm and icy.
  5. Once frozen, remove the watermelon bites from the mold or break apart the frozen sheet into smaller pieces with a spoon or knife. Serve immediately for a refreshing, icy treat.

Notes

For smoothest texture, ensure watermelon is fully frozen before serving. Can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
