Step by Step Method
Step 1
Blend the watermelon in a blender until smooth and then strain through a sieve into a jug, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible and then discard the solids and reserve 500ml (2 cups) watermelon juice in a jug and place in the fridge to chill.
Step 2
Pour the remaining watermelon juice into a large plastic container or ice-cube trays and place in the freezer for 4 hours or until frozen.
Step 3
Clean the blender and blend the raspberries, sugar and vanilla bean paste in the blender until smooth and then strain the mixture through a sieve into a bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Step 4
Discard the solids and clean the blender.
Step 5
Remove the frozen watermelon juice from the freezer and set aside for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
Step 6
Turn onto a board and coarsely chop and then place in the blender with the chilled watermelon juice and blend until smooth.
Step 7
Use a star-shaped cutter to cut stars from the extra watermelon slices.
Step 8
Divide the raspberry puree among 4 large serving glasses and top with the watermelon mixture and soda water and decorate with watermelon stars and fairy floss and edible flowers, if you like.
