If you’re feeling extra adventurous, you can also have a second watermelon on hand to serve as an edible bowl. Now, let’s get to the fun part—making the watermelon whip!

First things first: chop up your watermelon.

Slice it into wedges and carefully remove the fruit.

Then, cube the watermelon flesh, aiming for uniform sizes. The more even the cubes, the better the end result will be.

Next, it’s time to freeze those cubes. Lay them out on a tray and pop them into the freezer. For the best results, let them freeze overnight.

While you’re at it, make sure you’re also freezing the strawberries, unless you’ve bought them pre-frozen.

Now, let’s prepare the watermelon bowls. Cut a watermelon in half and scoop out all the flesh. You can either eat this immediately or freeze it for your next batch of watermelon whip.

Ready to blend? Toss your frozen watermelon and strawberries into a blender.

Add in your choice of nut milk—be it almond, cashew, or even dairy milk, although the latter might alter the flavor a bit.

Blend away until you achieve a smooth, sorbet-like consistency. The texture should be creamy and easily scoopable, making it the perfect summer treat.

Finally, scoop your freshly-made watermelon whip into your hollowed-out watermelon bowls and serve immediately.

Trust us, you won’t want to waste any time snapping photos for Instagram; this treat is best enjoyed right away!
