Salted watermelon ice cream
Stir together watermelon juice, sugar, and kosher salt in a small saucepan. Whisk in coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and lime juice until fully incorporated. Stir in lime zest and freeze it in ice cream molds, with sticks. De-mold the ice cream and garnish them with flaky sea salt, lime zest, and fresh watermelon before digging in.
Watermelon lollies
Slice a watermelon in half, then remove the flesh and place it in a large bowl. Take out all seeds. Transfer the flesh into a blender and puree it. Put ice cream sticks inside molds after filling them to the 3/4 mark. Freeze them overnight, then refreeze the lollipops after adding maple syrup or kiwi or orange puree. And your delicious lollies are ready.
Watermelon lemonade
Blend watermelon with half a cup of sugar, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Then add soda to it. Place in the fridge for at least two hours to chill it. Glasses should be half-filled with ice before adding the watermelon lemonade. Garnish each glass with a lemon round and serve.
