Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (10 oz) seedless watermelon, diced (summer’s most refreshing fruit)
- 1/2 cup (4 fl oz) water (adjust based on watermelon juiciness)
Instructions
- Place diced seedless watermelon in blender and add water—make sure watermelon is completely seedless for safety.
- Blend until completely smooth with no chunks remaining, creating beautiful pink summer liquid.
- Pour mixture into ice cube trays, filling 3/4 full to allow for expansion (if your summer pup can wait patiently).
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid—patience creates perfect summer relief.
- Pop out ice cubes and serve for the ultimate refreshing, cooling treat that tastes like liquid summer!
Notes:

- Let cubes sit 2-3 minutes at room temperature for easier handling and comfortable licking
- Amber prefers these served outside where melting mess becomes part of the summer fun
Storage Tips:
- Store in airtight freezer containers for up to 3 months
- Best used within one month for optimal flavor and texture
- Make big batches when watermelon is in season for year-round cooling relief
