Make this light and airy watermelon cloud slushie using coconut milk for a creamy, refreshing frozen drink perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups frozen watermelon chunks
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk (chilled overnight, use the thick cream layer)
  • 1/4 cup water (or more, for blending)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Measure the thick cream layer from the top of the chilled coconut milk can. Scoop this cream into your blender.
  2. Add the frozen watermelon chunks, water, sugar, lime juice, and salt to the blender.
  3. Start blending on low speed, using a tamper if necessary to push the ingredients toward the blades.
  4. Increase the speed gradually until the mixture is completely smooth and has a thick, slushie consistency. If it is too thick to blend, add water one tablespoon at a time.
  5. Taste the slushie and add more sugar if your watermelon was not very sweet.
  6. Pour the watermelon cloud slushie immediately into chilled glasses. Serve with a straw.

Notes

  • For an extra fluffy ‘cloud’ effect, reserve 2 tablespoons of the coconut cream and whip it separately until slightly stiff peaks form. Spoon this whipped topping over the finished slushie before serving.
  • Use only full-fat coconut milk for the best creamy texture. Light coconut milk will result in a thinner drink.
  • If you prefer a less tropical flavor, substitute the coconut milk with 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk and reduce the added sugar.
