Instructions

Scoop out the watermelon flesh and discard the seeds. Cut a small portion of the rind from the bottom to create a stable base, if desired, for serving.
In a blender, combine the scooped watermelon and sugar. Blend until smooth. Pour the blended watermelon mixture into a freezer-safe container or back into the hollowed-out watermelon rind. Freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
In a mixing bowl, combine the hung curd (or Greek yogurt), low-fat cream, and salt. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat until light and fluffy. This incorporates air for a creamier texture.
Remove the partially frozen watermelon from the freezer. Pour the creamy curd mixture over the frozen watermelon layer. Gently swirl with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect, if desired. Top with a few reserved watermelon cubes. Return to the freezer for another 2-4 hours, or until completely solid.
Once frozen, slice and serve. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs, if desired.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For an extra boost of flavor and a pleasant crunch, fold in finely chopped roasted pistachios or toasted coconut flakes just before freezing the mixture.
If you prefer a vegan version, replace hung curd and cream with thick coconut yogurt and coconut cream.
To keep the dessert scoopable and prevent it from becoming too icy, stir the mixture every 30 minutes during the first two hours of freezing.
Serve the frozen creamy watermelon in hollowed-out watermelon rinds or small cups, garnished with a pinch more Himalayan salt and fresh mint leaves.

Expert Tips

For a more intense watermelon flavor, use a seedless watermelon variety that's deep red and ripe.
Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more or less sweetener or honey.
If using fresh mint, add it just before serving to preserve its vibrant color and flavor.
