Deep green rind outside, painted in loose vertical stripes that shift from near-black to bright. Inside, a full field of red with black seeds scattered across it.

Three good scoops sit in it comfortably — and the red interior means whatever you serve looks like it belongs there. We had one dessert in mind while making it: \u003cstrong\u003eFreedom Fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, the watermelon sorbet from Ben Cohen's Ben's Best. Cohen launched it under his own brand after his call for a watermelon flavour for peace in Palestine, crowd-sourcing the name, ingredients and design from the public. The winning flavour came from Chicago librarian Laura Davis — watermelon, mint and dark chocolate — with pint art by Nadia Al Ali. \u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trtworld.com\/article\/9f5191e2c08c\" class=\"group\/tag relative h-[18px] rounded-full inline-flex items-center overflow-hidden -translate-y-px cursor-pointer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative transition-colors h-full max-w-[180px] overflow-hidden px-1.5 inline-flex items-center font-small rounded-full border-0.5 border-border-300 bg-bg-200 group-hover\/tag:bg-accent-900 group-hover\/tag:border-accent-100\/60\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-nowrap text-text-300 break-all truncate font-normal group-hover\/tag:text-text-200\"\u003eTRT Global\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"transition-all opacity-[0%] h-[17px] absolute right-[0.5px] rounded-r-full flex items-center px-1.5 bg-gradient-to-r from-accent-900\/0 via-accent-900\/100 via-30% to-accent-900\/100 group-hover\/tag:opacity-[100%]\"\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" fill=\"currentColor\" viewbox=\"0 0 256 256\" class=\"transition-all group-hover\/tag:ease-out duration-[500ms] ease-in text-accent-100 group-hover\/tag:scale-[100%] scale-[80%] group-hover\/tag:opacity-[100%] opacity-[0%] -mr-[2px]\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M200,64V168a8,8,0,0,1-16,0V83.31L69.66,197.66a8,8,0,0,1-11.32-11.32L172.69,72H88a8,8,0,0,1,0-16H192A8,8,0,0,1,200,64Z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex w-1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boingboing.net\/2025\/11\/17\/delicious-winner-of-ben-jerrys-peace-in-palestine-sorbet-flavor-contest-includes-watermelon-mint-and-dark-chocolate.html\" class=\"group\/tag relative h-[18px] rounded-full inline-flex items-center overflow-hidden -translate-y-px cursor-pointer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative transition-colors h-full max-w-[180px] overflow-hidden px-1.5 inline-flex items-center font-small rounded-full border-0.5 border-border-300 bg-bg-200 group-hover\/tag:bg-accent-900 group-hover\/tag:border-accent-100\/60\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-nowrap text-text-300 break-all truncate font-normal group-hover\/tag:text-text-200\"\u003eBoing Boing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"transition-all opacity-[0%] h-[17px] absolute right-[0.5px] rounded-r-full flex items-center px-1.5 bg-gradient-to-r from-accent-900\/0 via-accent-900\/100 via-30% to-accent-900\/100 group-hover\/tag:opacity-[100%]\"\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" fill=\"currentColor\" viewbox=\"0 0 256 256\" class=\"transition-all group-hover\/tag:ease-out duration-[500ms] ease-in text-accent-100 group-hover\/tag:scale-[100%] scale-[80%] group-hover\/tag:opacity-[100%] opacity-[0%] -mr-[2px]\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M200,64V168a8,8,0,0,1-16,0V83.31L69.66,197.66a8,8,0,0,1-11.32-11.32L172.69,72H88a8,8,0,0,1,0-16H192A8,8,0,0,1,200,64Z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe watermelon isn't decoration.
