Notes

- If you do not have an ice cream mold, just pour the mixture into a big bowl, cover it carefully and put it in the refrigerator. Take the bowl out every 30 minutes and give the mixture a good stir before returning to the refrigerator. The mixture needs to be chilled for 8 hours before serving.

- If you love a richer taste, add 80 ml of coconut cream to the watermelon juice before boiling.
