  5. Strain, discarding the ginger.
  6. Stir in the lime juice.
  7. Meanwhile, cut the watermelon crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices.
  8. Cut off the skin, leaving each slice a square or rectangle.
  9. Cut each slice again until you have twenty-four 1-inch cubes.
  10. (You will have watermelon left over.)
  11. Put the cubes in an 8 by 8-inch baking pan.
  12. Pour the cooled syrup over the watermelon and let sit, refrigerated, 1 to 4 hours, turning the cubes halfway through.
  13. Just before serving, mix the cream cheese and the remaining 1 tablespoon honey in a small bowl until smooth.
  14. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag.
  15. Push the mixture towards one corner of the bag and twist the top to make a handle.
