Watermelon Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1 seedless watermelon
  • ½ container (8 ounces) frozen light whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 container (8 ounces) low-fat lemon yogurt
  • Fresh fruit to decorate cake (3 strawberries, 1 whole kiwi fruit, 6 grapes, 6 blueberries)

Directions:

  1. Wash hands with warm water and soap. Wash fresh fruits before preparing.
  2. Select a watermelon about 9 inches in diameter. Cut a three to four inch thick section from the middle of the watermelon. Cut four slits through the rind without cutting into the red part of the watermelon. Cut between the white rind portion and the red flesh to remove the rind. Pat watermelon cake dry with a paper towel and place on a flat serving plate.

  4. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Can be stored several hours or overnight.
