Steps:
- Make watermelon sorbet:
- Line a 9-inch square baking pan (2 inches deep) with plastic wrap or parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Put lined pan in freezer.
- Coarsely chop watermelon flesh (leave seeds in), then purée enough to yield 2 1/2 cups in a blender.
- Add sugar, juice, and tequila to purée and blend 30 seconds.
- Freeze sorbet in ice cream maker. Transfer to lined baking pan, smoothing top. Put in freezer to harden, at least 1 hour.
- Make lime semifreddo:
- Whisk together condensed milk, zest, and juice. Beat cream until it just holds stiff peaks, then gently fold into condensed-milk mixture.
- Spread over sorbet, smoothing top. Freeze until solid, at least 2 hours.
- To serve, lift dessert from pan using plastic wrap. Cut into 12 bars and serve on chilled plates.
WATERMELON GELATINS
Watermelons are made up almost entirely of water, so they're filling and refreshing without being heavy on calories. It is a good source of lycopene.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Set aside to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine sugar, salt, and 1/4 cup water. Heat over high, stirring occasionally, just until sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in gelatin mixture until dissolved; set aside.
- In a blender, combine lemon juice and half the watermelon chunks; puree. Add remaining watermelon chunks; puree. Pour puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or glass measuring cup, and discard solids. (You will need 3 cups of puree; reserve any extra for another use.)
- Stir gelatin mixture into puree; skim off and discard any foam on the surface. Divide mixture among 6 serving cups. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Serve gelatins, garnished with diced watermelon.
