Tips:
- Choose ripe and juicy watermelons: The quality of your watermelon ice cream cake depends on the quality of your watermelons. Make sure to select ripe and juicy watermelons that are free of blemishes.
- Freeze the watermelon in advance: Freezing the watermelon before making the ice cream cake helps to create a smooth and creamy texture. Cut the watermelon into small cubes and freeze them for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Use a high-quality ice cream maker: If you have an ice cream maker, use it to make the watermelon ice cream. This will give you a smooth and creamy texture. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make the ice cream by hand, but it will take a little longer.
- Don't overmix the ice cream: When you're making the watermelon ice cream, don't overmix it. Overmixing can make the ice cream grainy.
- Assemble the cake carefully: When you're assembling the watermelon ice cream cake, be careful not to press down too hard on the layers. This can cause the cake to break.
