Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 pound watermelon (halved with fruit removed (leave about 1/4-inch of fruit in the shell))
3 3-ounce boxes watermelon flavored gelatin
6 envelopes unflavored gelatin
3 cups boiling water
3 cups cold vodka
6 limes (halved with fruit and pith removed)
3 oz watermelon flavored gelatin (1 box)
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold vodka

Steps:

  • Cut watermelon in half and line a large baking sheet with paper towels. Do this near the refrigerator so you don't have too far to carry it!
  • Scoop out the fruit leaving about 1/4-inch inside the shell.
  • Whisk watermelon flavored gelatin and unflavored gelatin into the boiling water until dissolved. Stir in the cold vodka. Pour gelatin mixture into the two watermelon halves and transfer to the refrigerator. Chill for four hours or more.
  • After your gelatin has set, remove one of the watermelon halves from the fridge and place it on a cutting board.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut 1-inch slices. The gelatin will be nice and firm because of the added unflavored gelatin in the recipe.
  • Even though you filled the watermelon rind with liquid gelatin, when it solidified, it shrank too. You can trim the excess tips off of each slice.
  • Cut each watermelon slice into three triangles.
  • Repeat with second watermelon half.
  • Cut limes in half and juice them, then scoop out the fruit. The easiest way to do this is to pull at the pith and fruit near the top of the lime half. It's fairly easy to pull out once you loosen it.
  • Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners and place each lime shell inside a liner.
  • Whisk watermelon flavored gelatin into boiling water until dissolved. Stir in cold vodka and carefully pour spiked gelatin into lime shells.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut each lime shell in half and serve.

SOUR WATERMELON JELL-O SHOTS IN A WATERMELON RIND



Sour Watermelon Jell-O Shots in a Watermelon Rind image

You've probably seen watermelon rinds filled with Jell-O; our version takes the idea a bit further. Here we use the watermelon juice from the scooped-out watermelon, spike it with a splash of vodka, and give it a sour flavor so it tastes just like your favorite candy. The result is an adult-friendly summer party pleaser.

Time 4h20m

Yield 10 to 12 servings; makes about 20 wedges

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 mini seedless watermelon (about 5 pounds)
Two 3-ounce boxes watermelon-flavored gelatin, such as Jell-O
Three 0.25-ounce packets unflavored gelatin (from one 1-ounce box)
1 teaspoon granulated citric acid
1 cup (8 ounces) vodka

Steps:

  • Using a large chef's knife, cut the watermelon in half lengthwise through the stem. Trim a small portion from the underside of each half so it can sit on the work surface without wobbling. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Scoop out most of the flesh with a large spoon into a medium bowl, leaving about 1/8 inch of flesh above the white part of the rind (this will help the gelatin to adhere).
  • Transfer the watermelon flesh and any juice from the bowl and rind to a blender and puree until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth (or a coffee filter). Discard the solids and reserve the juice; you should have about 5 cups total.
  • Measure 3 cups of the juice into a medium saucepan (save any remaining juice for another use). Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the watermelon-flavored and unflavored gelatin with the citric acid together in a large bowl, then whisk in the warm watermelon juice until all of the gelatin has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the vodka until combined. Pour the gelatin mixture into the hallowed-out watermelon halves. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill until completely set, about 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Slice the watermelon in half lengthwise, then crosswise into small wedges. Serve chilled.
