About this dish
Half the watermelon is blended and strained, and the other half is scooped into balls to float in the bowl.

The strained juice has to be properly cold before the milk goes in, or the pink base can separate. Lemon-lime soda is poured in just before eating, along with strawberries and blueberries.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Keep 700g watermelon flesh well chilled, then remove any visible seeds.
Scoop 350g into 3cm balls for the garnish, and cut the remaining 350g into 4 to 5cm cubes so it blends evenly.
- 2
Blend the watermelon cubes with 20g sugar until no coarse fibers are visible and the liquid looks even.
Strain it through a fine sieve, pressing lightly, then chill the juice for about 30 minutes before adding milk.
- 3
Chill a large bowl, then pour in the cold watermelon juice first.
Add 500ml milk gradually while stirring slowly, stopping when the base turns evenly pink and smooth without streaks or separation.
- 4
Pat 120g strawberries dry and slice them thinly so they do not water down the punch.
Check 80g blueberries, remove any crushed berries, and keep them chilled with the watermelon balls until serving.
- 5
Just before serving, pour 300ml lemon-lime soda slowly down the side of the bowl.
Fold only once or twice with a spoon, using broad gentle movements so the carbonation stays lively.
- 6
Add the watermelon balls, sliced strawberries, blueberries, and 200g ice on top.
Serve immediately with a ladle, making sure each bowl gets fruit and the creamy base before the ice begins to dilute it.
