Keywords: For best results, use only frozen watermelon chunks; fresh watermelon will yield an icy texture. Enhance flavor by adding other fruits like strawberries or experimenting with citrus juices. Store leftovers in an airtight container; press parchment paper against the surface to prevent ice crystals.
