Watermelon Ice

Bloom the Gelatin: In a small, microwave-safe bowl, pour the water and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it soften for 2 minutes. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Melt and Smooth: Microwave the gelatin mixture on High for 40 seconds. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Let it stand for another 2 minutes to ensure it's fully incorporated. (Cook time: 40 seconds, Stand time: 2 minutes)

Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine one cup of cubed watermelon with the lime juice and honey. Pour in the melted gelatin. Process until completely smooth. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Incorporate Remaining Watermelon: Gradually add the remaining watermelon, one cup at a time, blending until smooth after each addition. This ensures a consistent and even texture. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Initial Freeze: Pour the blended mixture into an 8x8 inch square dish. Place in the freezer and freeze until almost firm, about 2-3 hours. (Freeze time: 120-180 minutes)

Whip to Fluffiness: Transfer the almost-frozen mixture into a chilled bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it transforms into a light, fluffy, and vibrant pink delight. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Final Freeze: Scoop the whipped mixture into individual serving dishes. Return them to the freezer and freeze until completely firm, about 1-2 hours. (Freeze time: 60-120 minutes)

Serve: Remove the Watermelon Ice from the freezer 15-20 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly, enhancing its flavor and texture. (Prep time: 15-20 minutes)
