Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, neatly cubed

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain for a tangy flavor or vanilla for sweetness)

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

A pinch of salt to enhance flavors

Extra mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Begin by cutting the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. If you have a whole watermelon, take the time to thoroughly remove all seeds and the rind for a smooth texture.

    Create the Watermelon Puree: Place the watermelon cubes into a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency. For an ultra-smooth puree, feel free to strain it through a fine mesh sieve.

      Mix Yogurt and Mint: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the finely chopped mint leaves. If you are using honey or agave syrup, add it now along with the lime juice and a pinch of salt. Mix everything thoroughly until it is well blended.

        Layer the Mixture: Choose a loaf pan or a flat baking dish and pour half of the watermelon puree into it, distributing it evenly to create the first layer in the dish.

          Add Yogurt Layer: Gently spoon the yogurt mixture over the watermelon layer. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the watermelon layer, ensuring a smooth, even coating.

            Finish with Watermelon Puree: Pour the remaining watermelon puree over the yogurt layer, ensuring it is evenly spread to form the final layer.

              Freeze: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until it is completely solid.

                Slice and Serve: Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut the frozen mixture into slices or squares, based on your preference.

                  Enjoy: Serve immediately as a refreshing treat to beat the heat or as a delightful snack! For a touch of elegance, garnish with extra mint leaves if desired.
