Instructions
  1. 1

    Freeze the watermelon a little

    Cube your watermelon (seed it first if it's not seedless) and pop the cubes in the freezer until they're partially frozen, about an hour. You want them firm and frosty but not rock solid, otherwise the blender struggles. This is the step that makes it thick and creamy instead of watery.

  1. 2

    Blend it all

    Add the partially frozen watermelon, vanilla ice cream, milk, sugar, and fresh mint leaves to a blender. Cover and process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides if needed. Pour into glasses and drink it cold.

Notes & Tips

This one tastes like summer in a glass. The partially frozen watermelon is the whole trick: it gives you that thick, frosty texture without needing a pile of ice that waters everything down. The splash of vanilla ice cream rounds out the watermelon so it's creamy instead of just sweet-and-thin, and the mint keeps it bright. If you want it lighter, swap the ice cream for frozen banana or a scoop of yogurt and it still works. A 10 out of 10 for a hot afternoon.
