This week's recipe is a healthier, fresh dessert that we served for Drew's birthday. We really enjoyed the fresh fruit with the sweet taste of the coconut and whipped cream. Let us know how you like it!
Watermelon Cakeabout 8 servings
Ingredients:1 whole seedless watermelon
3 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
1 1/2 cup coconut flakes, toasted
2 kiwis, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup blackberries
8 strawberries, sliced in half lengthwise
3 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
1 1/2 cup coconut flakes, toasted
2 kiwis, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup blackberries
8 strawberries, sliced in half lengthwise
Directions: 1. Cut both ends of the watermelon to create flat surfaces and then cut off the rind to create a cylinder or a cake-like shape.
2. Spread the whipped cream over the watermelon covering the top and sides of the melon.
3. Lightly press the toasted coconut into the whipped cream around the sides of the cake.
4. Place the strawberries, kiwi and blackberries on the top of the cake in any desired pattern. One pattern would be placing the blackberries around the edge of the cake and then fan the kiwi slices in a circle just inside the blackberries. Then take the strawberries and place them inside the kiwi.
5. Serve Immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
*We recommend making this on the day your want to serve it so the whipped cream stays together.
We hope you enjoy this light dessert as much as we did!
