Yield: 1
Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients: 2 wedge watermelon; 1 tbsp condensed milk; 1 tbsp lime juice

This is one of the most simple and unreasonably satisfying desserts to make that hits especially hard on a hot summer day. It requires nothing but frozen watermelon, a grater, and a can-do attitude (you'll see). The watermelon by itself is already incredible as is but folks dress it up with all kinds of toppings like condensed milk, honey, crushed pistachios, lime juice, or even Tajín. If you'd like, you can experiment with other fruits like strawberries, mangos, oranges, and more - there are no wrong choices.
