Watermelon and Aperol snow

Serves: 8
Cooking Time: 20 mins + 24 hrs, to freeze

Ingredients

  • 800g watermelon, peeled, deseeded and chopped into chunks + extra wedges, thinly sliced (to decorate)
  • 125ml (½ cup) Aperol
  • generous pinch salt

Instructions

1

Freeze the watermelon chunks, 12 hours or overnight. Place in a food processor, and blitz until the chunks are broken down and the mixture resembles pink snow. (You might have to do this in 2 batches.)

2

Spoon the watermelon snow into a large, freezerproof container, and add the Aperol and salt. Mix until well combined. Serve immediately or return to the freezer, 12 hours.

3

Remove from freezer, break up the mixture with a fork and serve immediately in serving glasses or bowls, decorated with the extra watermelon wedges.
