Frozen Watermelon Lime Bars (Printable)

Cool, vibrant frozen treats blending sweet watermelon with zesty lime for refreshing summer desserts.

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed

02 - 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 3-4 limes)

03 - 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest

04 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or honey/agave for natural sweetener)

05 - 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint

06 - Lime wedges (for serving)

01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang on all sides for easy removal later.

02 - Combine watermelon cubes, lime juice, lime zest, and sugar in a blender. Blend until completely smooth and no fruit chunks remain.

03 - Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or lime intensity to your preference before pouring.

04 - Pour the puree into the prepared pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles and level the surface.

05 - Place the pan in the freezer for 4 hours or until the mixture is completely firm and set.

06 - Lift the frozen block from the pan using the parchment overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 equal bars.

07 - Top bars with fresh chopped mint and lime wedges immediately before serving, if desired. Serve frozen.

01 -

No baking required when you are already melting from the heat outside
These bars hit that perfect spot between refreshing dessert and something you can guiltlessly eat at breakfast

02 -

Let the bars sit on the counter for about five minutes before serving. They are much easier to cut and eat when they are slightly softened.
These freeze beautifully for weeks so double the batch and keep a secret stash for yourself.

03 -

Run your knife under hot water and wipe it dry between cuts for the cleanest edges
If you are using honey instead of sugar warm it slightly first so it blends evenly into the cold fruit
