Refreshing and summery tastes the ice cream with watermelon. It provides a real cooling on hot days. Everyone who loves watermelon and ice cream simply must try the combination of the two! How to make the watermelon ice cream yourself, – also watermelon ice lollies, with or without an ice cream maker – I’ll show you here. You can find a detailed watermelon ice cream recipe with exact amounts and step-by-step instructions right here at the bottom.
Homemade sweet cooling for the summer
Watermelon ice cream delivers great refreshment on warm summer days. It tastes fruity like watermelon, but creamy at the same time. Both kids and adults are guaranteed to love your homemade watermelon ice cream.
Watermelon ice cream without ice cream maker or with, watermelon ice lollies
You can make watermelon ice cream or watermelon ice lollies, depending on your mood. I have already tried both variants. If you make watermelon ice cream, you’ll need to pour the watermelon mixture into a sealable container and place it in the freezer, stirring vigorously and briskly every 2 hours. Alternatively, you can make it in an ice cream maker. If you want to make watermelon ice lollies, you’ll need appropriate ice cream molds for it. I always use the stainless steel ice cream molds.
Fruity, creamy, but less smooth
While the watermelon ice cream has a fruity and creamy flavor, it doesn’t get a smooth consistency like some other ice creams. That’s because watermelon is mostly water. So this recipe is just for you if you’re into a refreshingly fruity ice cream that tastes heavenly delicious like summer watermelon.
Watermelon ice cream recipe with yogurt
My watermelon ice cream is made with cream. If you prefer a less caloric ice cream, you can also make it with natural yogurt. For this you take watermelon and yogurt in the ratio 1:1 and for sweetening some powdered sugar. Just as in the recipe with cream, first puree the watermelon flesh. Mix the natural yogurt with the powdered sugar and then add it to the watermelon. Then you can freeze it.
