My version

 I scoop out all the watermelon, drain the rind, freeze, then fill with 2  half gal. of raspberry sherbet.smooth top, I then put chocolate chips around the perimeter to act like seeds. Freeze well

Pictured is the same thing but in my watermelon ceramic dish.

Instead of using ice cream we use sherbert's and then add minature chocolate chips in the strawberry sherbert

This was so fun! I didn't have pistachio on hand, but substituted vanilla in it's place. The children were wowed with it's eye appeal and just as equal with the taste. The grown ups can't wait to try it again with the pistachio flavor included.
