Ingredients
Slush Base
- 2 cups ice
- ⅓ cup cream of coconut
Watermelon Mix
- 2 cups frozen watermelon
- ¼ cup almond milk
- Juice of one lime (optional)
Instructions
- Add the ice into a food processor or blender and process for about 3 minutes until the ice becomes snow-like with no large chunks remaining.
- Stir in the cream of coconut with the blended ice until fully combined. Divide this coconut mixture evenly into serving glasses and place them in the refrigerator to keep cool.
- Without cleaning the food processor, add the frozen watermelon and blend for about 3 minutes until no large chunks remain and the watermelon is slightly dry and finely ground.
- Add the almond milk to the blended watermelon, adjusting the amount to your preference, and stir to combine. Divide the watermelon mixture over the coconut base in the glasses.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice into each glass for an optional tangy flavor boost before serving.
Notes
- Use frozen watermelon chunks for a thicker slush; fresh watermelon can be chopped and frozen ahead of time.
- If cream of coconut is unavailable, substitute with coconut cream mixed with a little sugar or honey for sweetness.
- Almond milk can be replaced with any milk alternative or regular milk for creaminess.
- Adjust the lime juice quantity depending on your taste preference for acidity.
- For a vegan version, ensure cream of coconut is plant-based.
- To enhance texture, blend ice well to avoid large ice pieces for a smoother slush.
