Ingredients
- 1 large watermelon
- 2 cups of whipped cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup of fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Start by slicing the watermelon into thick rounds, about 1–2 inches thick. Remove the rind to create a clean base for the cake.
Spread a layer of whipped cream or Greek yogurt on each watermelon slice.
Stack the slices to create multiple layers, adding a layer of whipped cream between each watermelon slice.
Decorate the top with fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Drizzle honey or agave syrup over the layers if desired for added sweetness.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours to allow the layers to set.
Once ready to serve, slice the cake like a regular cake and enjoy the refreshing treat!
Notes
You can substitute whipped cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
To add more texture, you can sprinkle crushed nuts or granola between the layers of watermelon.
Feel free to use any fruits you like as toppings, such as kiwi or pineapple.
For a fun twist, try infusing the watermelon slices with a splash of rum or vodka (for an adult version).
