Watermelon Fruit Cake
This fresh watermelon cake is shaped like a cake slice. It is made with simple ingredients and is a fun no-bake summertime treat.
Ingredients
- 1 2-inch thick half-moon slice of watermelon
- 1 8 ounce tub of whipped cream,thawed
- 2 ½ cups whole mini chocolate chip cookies or broken chocolate chip cookies
- Several fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Cut the pointy ends off the half-moon watermelon slice to create a shape like a slice of cake.
- Place the watermelon slice on a serving platter with the rind side at the bottom.
- Cover the red part of the watermelon slice with the whipped cream, creating a smooth icing-like layer.
- Arrange the chocolate chip cookies along the green rind of the watermelon to look like seeds.
- Place several blueberries along the top edge of the whipped cream to act as the watermelon's "rind".
- Chill for at least one hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use seedless watermelon.
- For an even easier treat, use store-bought chocolate chip cookie crumbles instead of whole mini cookies.
- To transport the watermelon cake, freeze it before wrapping it carefully in plastic wrap.
