Nice cream is a completely dairy-free and naturally sweetened frozen dessert made by blending frozen fruit — most commonly bananas but also watermelon, mangoes, and other fruits — with a small amount of liquid until it achieves the most beautifully thick and most creamy consistency similar to soft-serve ice cream. The name "nice cream" is a playful reference to how genuinely nice it is to enjoy an ice-cream-like frozen treat made entirely from fruit with no dairy, no added sugar, and no artificial ingredients.

Can I make watermelon nice cream without a high-powered blender?

Yes. A food processor can substitute for a high-powered blender for this watermelon nice cream. A food processor may require slightly more pausing and scraping down the sides to achieve the most smooth result, but produces an equally beautiful and most creamy finished nice cream. A conventional low-powered blender may struggle with completely frozen watermelon and may produce a less smooth result.

How long does the watermelon need to freeze?

The cubed watermelon needs at least 6 hours of freezer time to freeze completely and thoroughly solid from the outside to the absolute center of each cube. Partially frozen watermelon that still has a soft center produces a slushy and too-liquid nice cream rather than the most beautifully thick and most properly soft-serve-like result. Overnight freezing produces the most thoroughly frozen and most perfectly nice-cream-ready watermelon cubes.
