A lolly moulded and coloured to look like a watermelon slice, down to the green rind and the dark seed markings. Watermelon is a difficult flavour to carry. The fruit is over ninety percent water and its taste comes from a small set of volatile compounds that fade fast, which is why watermelon sweets rarely taste much like the fruit and why the flavour is usually built rather than extracted. Freezing helps here more than it hurts. The fruit is already served cold and its appeal is largely refreshment rather than depth, so a frozen version has less to live up to than a warm one would.
