Ingredients
4 cups diced seedless watermelon
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 dash salt
60 ml cold water
7 g unflavored gelatin
240 ml chilled heavy cream
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced watermelon, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Stir to coat evenly, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 2
After refrigerating, blend the mixture until smooth, then return it to the bowl.
Step 3
In a saucepan, pour in the cold water and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let it stand for 1 minute, then cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Stir the gelatin mixture into the blended watermelon mixture, then add the heavy cream. Beat with an electric hand mixer at medium speed until the mixture is fluffy.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions until it reaches a 'soft-serve' consistency. Transfer the gelato to a lidded plastic container, cover the surface with plastic wrap, and seal. For best results, let the gelato ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.
