    Creamy & exotic, this ice cream hits the spot! Our latest frozen creation uses up all of that extra watermelon you have sitting about for a truly decadent sweet treat. Vegan Melon & Lemongrass Ice Cream recipe by @beardandbonnet

    Well, happy National Watermelon Day!!! Who knew that watermelon had its own holiday?!

    If you are like us then chances are you have storage tubs FULL of watermelon in the fridge right now. During the first few months of summer my kids go through watermelon faster than I can cut it up. However over the last few weeks they have started slowing down on their melon consumption and unfortunately, I didn't get the memo before I bought 2 more! Now the melon is practically all mine and I can't think of a better way to use it up than this decadent melon and lemongrass ice cream.

    Honestly, this ice cream couldn't be any simpler to pull together and you probably have most of the ingredients on hand already! Coconut milk, cashews, watermelon and sugar are most certainly summer staples in our house. While the lemongrass puree may not be a staple it's a regular in my fridge since it makes for easy exotic cocktails, lovely aromatic savory dishes and now dreamy ice cream flavors. Seriously, this stuff is GOOD!

    Although my kids are over watermelon in its purest form they sure did plow through this ice cream in a hurry! I was so afraid we would run out of it before I had my fill that I actually indulged in it for breakfast one day last week. ...I feel no shame for eating the last of the ice cream and disappointing my children when they went back for more. I probably should, but I don't! (Also, I know that this ice cream is going to happen again in our house before watermelon season is gone...it's too good to wait another year for more!)
