There should be about 8 cups.2.Add the lime juice and sugar to the watermelon puree.3.Transfer the watermelon mixture to a stainless steel bowl, cover, and freeze until solid, 8 to 10 hours. Three to five hours before serving, move the bowl to the refrigerator to soften the mixture. In the last hour before serving, use a fork to break the softened mixture into shavings. Serve in cold glass goblets or bowls.

    Thanks for the slushie recipe. I love slushies and have been searching where to buy one online in Europe. I have not found any except commercial ones. This is the next best thing and I love watermelon. I am thinking cantaloupe would work the same way.

    Tried this recipe today and it is delicious. We left out the sugar and used the juice of one lemon with 4 cups of watermelon, diced. If you have the time, scrape the ice with a fork every 45min or hour and it makes for very small ice crystals with a really light texture.

    We scooped about a half cup into a 10oz glass and topped it off with Shasta Diet Grapefruit. It made roughly 10 servings at 18 calories a piece. Delicious and super refreshing!
