The viral watermelon ice cream hack looks like magic. Does it actually work?

A new viral recipe on TikTok is turning watermelon into a creamy frozen dessert without an ice cream maker. This popular "ice cream-sorbet hybrid" involves freezing a hollowed-out halved watermelon overnight. The next day, milk or a dairy-free alternative is poured into the frozen fruit. The frozen watermelon is then scraped into the liquid, creating a light, fluffy frozen treat. This easy, two-ingredient method has gained significant traction on social media. The hashtag #watermelonicecream has seen a massive increase in popularity. Watermelon-related content in general is also trending. Creators are now experimenting with using other fruits as vessels for this DIY ice cream. Fruits like papaya and honeydew melon have been used successfully. Some are also substituting dairy with liquids like matcha, noting the need for sweetener with certain flavors.
