Ingredients

Watermelon Slushie

6 cups watermelon cubed, frozen overnight*

Coconut Milk Ice

1 can coconut milk (can) 13.5 oz can, refrigerated overnight
2 tsp. date syrup or liquid sweetener of choice**
1 lime juice only: use 1.5 tsp
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
6-8 ice cubes more as needed

Instructions

Open the can of coconut milk and remove the top cream only to a blender or food processor. Reserve the liquid for another use (like a smoothie). To the blender, add the date syrup, if using, along with the lime juice, vanilla, and ice cubes. Quickly pulse until a slushie consistency forms. Remove to a small bowl, cover, and freeze while you prepare the watermelon slushie.
Rinse and dry the blender or food processor. Now add the frozen watermelon chunks and process until a slushie consistency forms.
Layer alternating layer of the coconut and watermelon slushie in 4 short serving glasses or bowls, as you wish.
Top with slivered almonds and a drizzle of date syrup.

Recipe Notes

*Simply chop and put in a glass tupperware or zip-top bag and freeze.

**For a less sweet treat, you can omit, especially if you will drizzle sweetener on top.
