  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 5 cups watermelon, cubed and frozen
  • 1 cup ripened bananas (about 2 small bananas)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Take the watermelon cubes out of the freezer and gather ripe bananas. Cut bananas if needed to fit your food processor.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Combine the frozen watermelon and ripe bananas in the food processor. Blend on high for five minutes, pausing every minute to stir the mixture to ensure even blending.
  3. Freeze Gelato: Spoon the blended mixture into a baking dish. Place it in the freezer and let it set for one hour to firm up slightly.

Notes

  • For best texture, use fully frozen watermelon cubes.
  • Stirring every minute while blending helps achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
  • You can substitute bananas with other sweet fruits like mango or pineapple if desired.
  • This gelato is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 days.
