Watermelon - Yoghurt Icecream

This is a perfect relish to have on a day with a scorching sun..I had a huge watermelon and wanted to make something with it....Who does'nt like Icecream??And that too on a hot summer day!!So I made this combining yoghurt which gives a smooth texture to this icecream..

Ingredients

Water - 1/4 cup

Sugar - 1/4 cup

Watermelon(cut into small pieces) - 4 cups

Yoghurt - 1 cup

Lime juice - 1 spoon

Directions

In a saucepan, combine water and sugar over high heat..When it gets dissolved well remove from heat and allow it to cool.Puree the watermelon in a blender until smooth..

            

In a large bowl, combine the watermelon,sugar syrup,lime juice and yoghurt and whisk well until everything gets combined..Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into another large bowl..Discard the pulp..

Pour the extracted juices into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions..However, I did not have an icecream maker..So I transferred the mixture into a plate and freezed it..Freeze it overnight or atleast 5 to 6 hours..

Remove from freezer to defrost slightly, 5 minutes..Break it into small chunks and process again in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy..

Serve immediately..
