Cut a peeled, seedless watermelon into two inch chunks and freeze it in a Ziploc bag for at least six hours. You can also freeze the watermelon chunks for overnight. Be careful while cutting the watermelon as you will want to hold it firmly so that it does not slip around your work surface. Remember to observe all safety precautions when handling a sharp knife.
