Well, after work, the son indulged in the adult version, complementing the ice cream.
I discovered this recipe long ago on the Internet. But ... as I found it, I lost it. I remember only an interesting name and "principle of action".
Of course, watermelon loses something when heated, but as a result, it acquires several new flavor notes. Dzhelo stands well for a couple of days in the refrigerator, it is not as scary for him as for a cut watermelon, and it takes up much less space in that very refrigerator.

P.S. For those who regard the ability to spit out seeds as one of the main advantages of a watermelon, some of them can be returned to the plate.
