Dice a ripe, seedless watermelon into chunks and freeze them in a single layer on a tray. Once solid, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.
Place frozen watermelon cubes into a food processor.
Add juice of half a lime. You can always add more later.
Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add more lime juice or a splash of water if needed.
Add optional sweetener if desired. Blend until texture is like soft-serve.
Scoop and enjoy immediately or freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer texture.
