Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Watermelon Base
- Slice a thin piece off the top and bottom of the watermelon so it sits flat. Stand it upright and carefully slice off the rind, working from top to bottom, to form a round cake-like cylinder.
Step 2: Dry the Surface
- Use a paper towel to pat the entire watermelon "cake" until it's dry. This step is crucial for helping the yogurt frosting stick instead of sliding off.
Step 3: Make the Yogurt Frosting
- In a medium bowl, stir the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla together until everything is smooth and creamy. This is your healthy, protein-packed frosting.
Step 4: Frost the Cake
- Use a spatula or knife to generously cover the entire outside of the watermelon cylinder with the yogurt mixture. Create a smooth or slightly textured finish.
Step 5: Add Your Decorations
- This is the fun part! Gently press your berries, nuts, and coconut onto the sides and top of the frosted watermelon cake. Get creative and make a beautiful pattern.
Step 6: Chill Before Serving
- Carefully transfer your creation to a serving plate or baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least one hour. This Helps the frosting to set and makes the cake easier to Cut in Slices.
Notes
- For the best results, choose a watermelon that is firm and symmetrical. If your watermelon has seeds, you can gently pick them out after shaping the base.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with any nuts, seeds, or fresh fruits you have on hand
