Red, White & Blue Watermelon ‘Cake’

This gorgeous “cake” is actually made from heart-healthy watermelon decorated with yogurt and berries. It's a refreshing, gluten-free twist on dessert that's perfect for Fourth of July festivities or a summer birthday.

 

Servings: 6-8

 

Ingredients

1 seedless watermelon

1 cup vanilla-flavored yogurt

1 cup sliced almonds

1 cup blueberries

1 cup sliced strawberries

 

Directions

1. Place watermelon on cutting board. Cut 3-5 inches off each end to create large center slice between 3-5 inches thick. Trim off outer rind.

2. Cut watermelon slice into 6-8 pie-shaped wedges. Blot edges with paper towels to absorb excess moisture.

3. Dip the back (curved) side of each slice in yogurt and then almonds, re-assembling pieces on serving platter as each piece is completed.

4. Frost top of reassembled watermelon with remaining yogurt and then decorate with berries. Serve cold.
