Tips

  • You can use other fruits like watermelon or green apple.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup as long as it is a natural sweetener.
  • If you do not have a food processor, a blender works fine.
  • Stir the mixture while cooling to prevent it from hardening prematurely.
  • Overnight setting in the fridge provides the best results.
