# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally five minutes with no fancy equipment needed
  • The frozen watermelon creates the perfect slushy texture without watering it down with ice
  • Naturally dairy free but somehow still creamy and indulgent tasting
02 -
  • Not all blenders can handle frozen fruit, so if your motor starts straining, add a splash of coconut milk and pulse instead of running continuously
  • The slushie separates as it sits, so give it a quick stir before serving if you made it ahead
  • Fresh watermelon varies wildly in sweetness, so always taste before freezing a batch meant for slushies
03 -
  • If your watermelon is not quite sweet enough, the slushie will taste flat. Taste the fruit before freezing and compensate with extra agave if needed
  • A high speed blender really does make a difference here, but a regular blender works if you are patient and stop to scrape frequently
