Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (473 ml) frozen watermelon chunks
- ½ cup (120 ml) vanilla Greek yogurt
- ½ lime (juice)
- 1 pinch flaky salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather and chill watermelon chunks in uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure smooth blending.
- Blending: Combine frozen watermelon, vanilla Greek yogurt, and lime juice in a high-powered blender, pulsing initially to break down larger pieces.
- Mixing: Blend continuously for 45-60 seconds, pausing to scrape down sides, creating a silky, uniform texture without visible chunks.
- Finishing: Transfer the creamy mixture into serving bowls, using a spatula to capture every bit of the frozen yogurt.
- Garnishing: Optionally sprinkle flaky sea salt to enhance the watermelon’s natural sweetness and add a subtle flavor complexity.
- Serving: Enjoy immediately for optimal refreshing texture, or freeze briefly for a firmer consistency if preferred.
Notes
- Chill Ingredients Perfectly: Freeze watermelon chunks completely before blending to ensure a smoother, more luxurious frozen yogurt texture without unwanted ice crystals.
- Blend with Precision: Use short pulse intervals initially, then blend continuously to create a silky-smooth consistency without overworking the mixture.
- Salt Boosts Flavor: A tiny pinch of flaky sea salt dramatically amplifies watermelon’s natural sweetness, creating a more complex and delightful taste profile.
- Serve Strategically: Enjoy immediately for a soft-serve texture or freeze briefly for a firmer, more traditional frozen yogurt experience.
