Ingredients
- 1 small watermelon, cut into large chunks
- Cream of coconut, optional
- Basil, optional
- Flaky salt, optional
Instructions
- Cut watermelon into large chunks (large enough for each to be 1 serving) I like to cut each piece to be large enough for one serving. No need to remove rind—keeping it on makes it easier to hold and grate.
- Arrange watermelon in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid, about 4 hours.
- Chill serving bowls in freezer for a few minutes before serving, this will keep ice from melting immediately.
- Spread a tablespoon of cream of coconut in bottom of each bowl (if using).
- Using a microplane, grate a frozen watermelon chunk into each bowl.
- Top with fresh basil and a dash of flaky sea salt. Eat immediately!
Notes
Grating watermelon: The cold watermelon is hard to hold for long, so either wrap the end in paper towels or use clean kitchen gloves to help with the cold.
If you have a rotary grater, that will make easy work of grating the watermelon. Just don't use a large-hole grater. You need a small fine grater.Â
