This pixel-perfect frozen treat is not only tasty and fun to make, but it’s also a great project to enjoy together during a Minecraft-themed party or weekend at home.
Whether you’re planning a blocky birthday bash or just want to level up your dessert game, this recipe brings the perfect mix of creativity, nostalgia, and real-world flavor. No ice cream machine required — just some chilled ingredients, a blender, and your crafting spirit.
🧊 Why Watermelon?
Watermelon is a classic summer fruit, and in the Minecraft universe, it’s also a popular in-game food item. Its vibrant color and natural sweetness make it the ideal base for a homemade, no-churn ice cream that’s both light and creamy.
This recipe brings that pixel magic into the kitchen, combining chilled watermelon pulp, fluffy whipped cream, and a touch of sugar. The result? A refreshing dessert that’s sweet, smooth, and 100% creeper-free.
🛠 Tools You’ll Need
Before diving into the recipe, make sure you have these on hand:
- A blender or immersion blender
- A mixing bowl
- A freezer-safe container
- A spoon or spatula for folding
- Optional: an electric mixer for whipping cream (you can also do this by hand if you’ve got the stamina of a diamond sword)
🍉 Ingredients (Makes 2–3 Servings)
- 800 g (approx. 5 heaping cups) of chilled watermelon pulp (no seeds!)
- 400 ml (1.5 cups) of heavy cream (33% fat for best texture)
- 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- Fresh watermelon wedges for garnish (optional but cute!)
🧁 Instructions – Let’s Craft Some Ice Cream!
1. Blend the Watermelon
Start with cold watermelon — this is important to keep the cream from melting too fast. Use your immersion blender (or a regular blender) to turn the pulp into a smooth puree.
2. Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip your chilled heavy cream until it becomes soft and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar as you mix. This step makes the texture airy and gives it that real ice cream feel.
3. Combine
Carefully fold the watermelon puree into the whipped cream. Do this slowly to preserve the volume. Mix until it’s smooth and fully combined.
4. Freeze in Stages
Transfer your pink and creamy mixture into a freezer-safe container. Pop it into the freezer. After 2 hours, take it out and give it a good stir. This prevents large ice crystals from forming.
Repeat this mixing process every 30 minutes for 4 hours. Yes, it’s a little extra—but it makes a big difference for texture.
5. Final Freeze
Once you’ve mixed it several times, let it rest in the freezer for another 2–3 hours until it’s scoopable and firm.
6. Serve with Style
Scoop into cones or bowls, and garnish with cute little watermelon slices. Bonus points for serving in Minecraft-themed bowls or pixelated cones!
