These refreshing watermelon snow cups are a delightful treat for hot summer days. Inspired by traditional snow cones, this version uses frozen watermelon slices grated into a snow-like texture, offering a naturally sweet and hydrating snack. Perfect for cooling down during outdoor gatherings or enjoying as a healthy dessert.
1 large ripe watermelon (5–6 pounds)
2 limes, cut into wedges (optional)
Tajín seasoning, to taste (optional)
Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise, then cut each half widthwise to yield four equal pieces. Slice each quarter into 1-inch-thick wedges, ensuring the rind is included.
Place the watermelon wedges on a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap, ensuring they don't touch each other to prevent sticking. Cover with the remaining plastic wrap and freeze until completely frozen, at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once frozen, remove the watermelon wedges from the freezer. Using a grater or food processor, grate the frozen watermelon into a snow-like consistency.
Spoon the grated watermelon into serving cups. For added flavor, squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and sprinkle with Tajín seasoning, if desired.
