Frosty Watermelon Slush

How long does it take?

10 minutes to make (must freeze watermelon overnight)

What's in it?

2 slices watermelon, cubed (2 cups)
3 ice cubes
1 teaspoon lime juice

How to make it:

Place watermelon cubes into a freezer bag. Freeze thoroughly (overnight). Once the watermelon is frozen, place ice cubes into a blender. Sprinkle the lime juice over the ice. Pulse the blender by either pressing the "pulse" button, or by gently pressing and then releasing the on/off switch. Once the ice looks shaved, add the watermelon and pulse several more times. Dish the slush into a bowl and eat before it melts!

Chef's tip:

When using a blender, always turn the blender off before putting a spoon or your hand near the blades.
