05 - 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint

06 - Lime wedges (for serving)

01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang for easy removal.

04 - Pour the puree into the prepared pan. Tap gently to level.

01 -

These bars taste like summer captured in frozen form, with the watermelon sweetness playing perfectly against bright lime
Theyre ridiculously easy to make and require zero cooking, which is a lifesaver when its too hot to even think about using your oven

02 -

Overripe watermelon will make your bars icy rather than smooth, aim for fruit that gives slightly to pressure but isn't mushy
The freezing process dulls sweetness, so make your mixture slightly sweeter than you think you need

03 -

Use a glass pan if you have one, the bars freeze more evenly and release easier than metal
If your watermelon isn't very sweet, add a tablespoon of honey along with the sugar for deeper flavor
