Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, peeled and cubed

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free alternative)

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (approximately 2-3 limes)

2-3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on desired sweetness)

Zest of 1 lime

A pinch of salt

Optional garnish: chopped fresh mint leaves or additional lime zest for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Begin by slicing the watermelon into manageable chunks, removing all the rind, and then cutting the flesh into cubes. For a firmer texture in the finished bars, spread the watermelon cubes onto a baking sheet and freeze them for about 2-3 hours until solid.

    Blend the Ingredients: In a high-capacity blender or a food processor, combine the frozen watermelon cubes with Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.

      Taste and Adjust: Once blended, taste the mixture to gauge the sweetness. If it's not sweet enough for your liking, incorporate additional honey or maple syrup incrementally until you reach your preferred flavor.

        Pour Into Molds: Carefully transfer the watermelon-lime blend into silicone molds or a baking dish lined with parchment paper (an 8x8 inch dish is ideal). Use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly.

          Freeze the Mixture: Cover the molds or dish and place it in the freezer. Allow the mixture to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until it is completely solidified.

            Slice and Serve: After freezing, remove the bars from the molds. If you used a baking dish, let it sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly, then lift it out using the edges of the parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles for serving.

              Garnish (Optional): Before serving, add a delightful touch by garnishing the bars with freshly chopped mint leaves or a sprinkle of additional lime zest, both of which enhance the flavor and visual appeal.

                Enjoy: Relish these refreshing frozen watermelon lime yogurt bars as the perfect treat to cool down on a hot summer day!
