Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla)

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, adjust according to preferred sweetness)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

A pinch of salt

Extra fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Begin by carefully cutting the watermelon into 1-inch cubes. If using a whole watermelon, make sure to thoroughly remove all seeds and the tough outer rind before cubing.

    Create the Watermelon Puree: Place the watermelon cubes into a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until smooth and completely pureed. If you prefer an ultra-smooth texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp.

      Mix Yogurt and Mint: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, finely chopped mint leaves, honey (if you choose to use it), freshly squeezed lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture vigorously until all ingredients are well incorporated and creamy.

        Layer the Mixture: Choose a loaf pan or a flat baking dish for assembly. Pour half of the watermelon puree into the bottom of the dish, spreading it out evenly to create the first layer.

          Add the Yogurt Layer: Using a spatula, gently spoon the yogurt mixture over the watermelon layer, spreading it evenly across the surface to ensure all the watermelon is covered.

            Finish with Watermelon Puree: Pour the remaining watermelon puree on top of the yogurt layer. Carefully spread it out to form the final layer of your refreshing treat.

              Freeze: Cover the dish securely with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent any freezer odors from permeating. Place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until the mixture is completely solidified.

                Slice and Serve: Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Carefully cut into slices or squares as desired, taking care to maintain the layers intact.

                  Enjoy: Serve these delightful slices immediately for a refreshing treat on a hot day, or store them wrapped in the freezer for a tasty snack whenever you desire!

                      Presentation Tips: For an appealing display, serve the slices on a chilled platter and garnish each slice with a sprig of mint for a pop of color. Consider adding a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of lime zest for an extra touch!
