Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For Watermelon Sorbet:
1 (2 1/2-pounds) piece of watermelon
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon tequila
For Lime Semifreddo:
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup chilled heavy cream
Equipment:
An ice cream maker

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.

These bars are the perfect way to use up leftover watermelon. I always have a few slices left over after a picnic or barbecue, and these bars are the perfect way to use them up.
