Cut watermelon into cubes or balls and freeze the pieces in a single layer first. Then move them to a freezer bag.
Once thawed, watermelon becomes soft and watery. It is not great for fruit salad or fresh snacking after freezing.
Frozen watermelon is excellent for smoothies, slushies, frozen cocktails, agua fresca, sorbet, or eating straight from the freezer as a cold snack.
Watermelon freezes well for drinks and frozen treats, not for crisp fresh texture.
