I love the idea of dessert. I love to read recipes, to salivate at them on menus and to plan them for dinner parties. But beyond a bite or small serving, I tend to lose interest. I often make cakes, cookies and other desserts that I give away after eating my first piece. My husband and daughter are baffled by this (as am I) but it just is what it is. This has not been true, however, of these small frozen watermelon bites I made which I keep reaching in the freezer for. They are at once cold and refreshing, releasing a puddle of juice as you chew. As the mixture warms slightly in your mouth you taste the hints of the basil, mint and lime, or the brief, tantalizing spice of the chili. It is easy and refreshing and a dessert I might just finish.
