How to Make Homemade Watermelon Ice Cream
- Cut 4 cups of seedless watermelon into 1-inch cubes. (If using seeded watermelon, remove the seeds.)
- Puree the watermelon cubes in a blender until completely smooth.
- Press the watermelon puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining seeds or pulp. This ensures a super smooth texture.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the watermelon puree, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon vodka until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
- Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to firm up further before serving. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping to achieve optimal scoopability.
