Watermelon ice is a refreshing dessert perfect for hot summer days. Its ease of preparation makes it popular among fruit treat lovers. Watermelon, with its juicy sweet flavor, turns into soft ice that melts in the mouth, leaving a pleasant fruity freshness. The history of this dessert is linked to the tradition of freezing fruits to preserve their flavors. In Europe, such simple icy treats became popular as part of summer cuisine. Watermelon ice can be served as a standalone dessert or used in cocktails and drinks to add natural sweetness and juiciness. Decorated with a sprig of fresh mint, it gains an extra note of freshness, making it not only tasty but also aesthetically appealing.
