This incredibly refreshing icy dessert is made without using an ice cream maker.

Makes 12 servings, 1/2 cup each

ACTIVE TIME: 20 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 3 1/2 hours (including chilling & freezing times)

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
6 cups watermelon chunks (4-pound watermelon), seeded
2 tablespoons lime juice

1. Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
2. Place watermelon and lime juice in a food processor; process until smooth. Set a sieve over a large bowl and press the puree through to remove tiny seeds. Whisk in the sugar syrup.
3. Pour the watermelon mixture into a shallow metal pan and freeze until ice crystals form around the edges, about 30 minutes. Stir the ice crystals into the center of the pan and return to the freezer; repeat every 20 minutes until all the liquid is frozen.
4. Serve immediately or transfer to a storage container and let harden in the freezer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Serve in chilled dishes.

Everything looked so delicious, you dont know which to try first.

Liked it, BUT, too much sugar. I'll make it again with a lot less sugar (still need a little to offset the lime).
