👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- How to Make Viral Watermelon Ice Cream ---
2. 2Cut the mini watermelon in half. Scoop out some of the flesh from the center. Leave about 1 to 1½ inches around the edges to make a sturdy watermelon bowl. Cover the watermelon halves tightly with plastic wrap and freeze until completely solid, about 5 hours or overnight.
3. 3Right before serving, whisk together the thick coconut milk, maple syrup, lime zest, and chopped pistachios until well combined.
4. 4Remove the frozen watermelon from the freezer and uncover it. Then pour some of the coconut mixture into the hollowed center. Using a sturdy fork or a spoon, scrape the frozen watermelon while mixing it with the coconut mixture until it becomes fluffy, creamy, and resembles soft-serve ice cream.
5. 5Scoop into serving bowls or glasses, or enjoy it straight from the frozen watermelon shell. Garnish with extra chopped pistachios, fresh mint leaves, and a drizzle of maple syrup or agave nectar, if desired. Serve immediately.
