Vibrant, juicy and seriously delicious, we love refreshing watermelon over the summer. Whether you're looking for a frozen treat, showstopping dessert or refreshing cocktail, here are seven ways to make watermelon more delicious.
For the best summer cooler, freeze wedges of watermelon into easy ice pops for the kids. Simply cut the watermelon into generous slices, then divide each slice into triangular wedges. Carefully use a sharp knife to make a hole in the skin at the bottom, add a stick then lay out flat on a tray and freeze.
Seared on the BBQ, slices of griddled watermelon take on a lovely caramelised flavour. Dust over a little sugar to help them char and grill each side for a few seconds. Once cooked, a squeeze of lime helps the flavours pop.
Pizzas are the perfect food for sharing, so why not try a fruit pizza as a refreshing summer alternative? Meaty watermelon makes the perfect base, ready for a creamy topping and your favourite summer fruits. Grab some friends for a picnic and tuck in.
Jazz up jugs of water, cocktails or glasses of white wine, with frozen melon balls. Using a baller, scoop out rounds of different varieties of melons and freeze before adding to your drinks. Like an ice cube but so much tastier, not only do they help keep things cool, they add fruity flavour to your drinks and you can enjoy eating them afterwards, too.
For the ultimate party centrepiece, once you have scooped out your watermelon to make ice balls, keep the shell and turn it into an ice bucket. Cheers!
