What you’ll need:

A watermelon, cut into spears

Chocolate.. CandiQuik works well

Sprinkles.. for cuteness – optional

A freezer

Instructions:

Now slice it up in one direction…

Then turn the watermelon, and slice it in the other directions, creating the spears…

Melt the chocolate (according to the package instructions)

Dip each watermelon spear into the chocolate…

place them on some parchment/wax paper.. add some sprinkles, and put them into the freezer (OR FRIDGE) to set up and get nice and cold.

So, have you started melting yet?  Unless you’re in that small, but lucky part of the country that’s managed to stay in the chilly 90’s, you’ve probably ‘sweated’ away at least half of you.  It’s been so hot here in NM, that even Ice Cream sounds to thick and heavy to be refreshing!  Clearly, it was time to take matters into my own hands and come up with tasty ways to enjoy umm.. ice!  🙂

Since plain old ice isn’t what I would consider yummy,  I’ve included my favorite summertime fruit..Watermelon!  The combo of icy cold Watermelon shavings with the sweet bite of chocolate chips, balanced by the rich splash of cream is beyond decadent!  Not only is this treat super girly, pink & SO pretty, it’s healthy too!  But, in all fairness to the guys out there, I “manned” it up with some dark mini chocolate chips and a splash of cream, you know, just to make sure it wasn’t toooo pink and pretty!  I’m so nice like that..haha! 🙂

What you’ll need: 

Approx. 3 cups of cubed Seedless Watermelon

1/2 Cup of Mini Chocolate Chips

A splash of Cream

A drizzle of Chocolate Sauce (not shown)

A food processor

A freezer

Directions:

Slice up the Watermelon and cube it up!

Don’t waste that rind..save it and make this!!  🙂

Process the cubes until it’s smooth..

Strain the pulp…optional!

Add the Chocolate Chips into the strained juice and mix them up!

Pour it into a shallow pan and even out the chips!

Cover that baby up..and freeze it for about an hour..

After an hour, it’s time to scrape!  Then it’s back into the freezer for one more hour!

Now, scrape it with a fork to fluff it up!  Scoop some into a bowl & add a splash of Cream,  a drizzle of Chocolate Sauce & some fresh Mint!

Grab a spoon and dig in, for an instant cool, creamy & chocolaty sweet summer treat!  ~Enjoy!  🙂

When life hands you 105 degree weather, even the lemons are sweaty & cranky!  But you can still make Lemonade..yes you can!  You just have to get creative!  And creativity that includes Watermelon is the best tasting creation ever!  Especially when it’s paired with fresh mint!  Somehow mint automatically cools off anything it touches!  I totally thought about rubbing it all over me, but I may have decided against it!  🙂

These minty Watermelon ice cubes are so much fun!  As they melt, the mint leaf slowly reveals itself and  infuses the drink with tons of refreshing mint flavor!  Such a great way to help get you through this blistering summer.  Heck, you can even just pop a couple in your mouth for an instant cool down!  They’re so simple, refreshing & delicious!  🙂

This Lemonade is incredible, but these ice cube beauties can also take a tall glass of Iced Tea to a whole new level of yum!  Or plunge a few into a bubbly Wine Spritzer..mmm!  🙂

What you’ll need for approx. 2 frosty glasses of instant heat relief:

About 3 cups of cut up seedless watermelon

Lemonade

Fresh mint

An ice cube tray

A strainer

A food processor

3 tbsp. of honey/agave

Green sparkle sugar

Directions:

Cut up the Watermelon into chunks and blend them up in a food processor until smooth.

Strain out all of the pulp..optional!

Add a single mint leaf to the bottom of each ice cube well.

Pour the Watermelon juice into each section up to the top!

Cover them up & freeze them!

Rim your glasses with some sweet and pretty sugar!  Just dip the glass rim into the honey and then into the sugar..Tah-Dah!  🙂

Pop them out!  Say “Awww”…and then add them to your super cute glass!

Take a frosty sip and feel the instant sweet & refreshing cool down! ~Enjoy!  🙂
