Ingredients

Your choice of melon(s):
  • watermelon
  • cantaloupe
  • honeydew melon
  • White honeydew melon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse the melons, cut them in half and remove the seeds.
  2. Use a melon baller to scoop out the melon balls from the fruit. Don’t worry if they’re not all perfectly round – they will flatten slightly when you freeze them.
  3. Use a baking sheet or flat platter that can fit in your freezer. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  4. Arrange the melon balls on the baking sheet. Make sure that the melon balls are not touching (or they will freeze together).
  5. Freeze the melon balls for a few hours or until completely frozen. Remove them from the freezer and transfer them to a freezer bag. Place the bag in the freezer until ready to use.

Notes

  • Use the leftover parts of the melon (what's left after scooping out the melon balls) to make a smoothie, cocktails, or a cold melon soup.
