Ingredients

½ large watermelon hollowed out (rind reserved as the mold)
3 cups fresh watermelon juice from the blended, strained flesh above, divided
¼ cup water
2 scoops Sour Watermelon Candy Clear Protein from 1UP Nutrition code BAILS
3 tbsp unflavored powdered gelatin

Instructions

Scoop the flesh from the watermelon half, leaving the rind whole to use as your mold. Blend the flesh until liquid, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Measure out 3 cups of juice.
In a bowl, whisk 1 cup of the watermelon juice, the water, and the Sour Watermelon Candy clear protein until fully dissolved.
Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the top and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
Pour into a saucepan and heat over low to medium, stirring constantly, until the gelatin and protein dissolve. Do not boil.
Off the heat, stir in the remaining 2 cups of watermelon juice.
Pour into the hollowed-out watermelon rind. Refrigerate until fully set, 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
Slice into 12 wedges and serve cold.

Notes

Watermelon has no gelatin-blocking enzymes, so it sets firm with no issues. Just don't boil it.
Use a clear protein isolate (not a milky whey) to keep the jello translucent.
For a higher protein count, use beef gelatin in place of regular gelatin.
