Make Watermelon Donuts
Watermelon slices can be shaped like donuts in a unique twist on both donuts and watermelon serving ideas. When the crowd is calling for something delicious, they'll be pleasantly surprised by a refreshing and cold "donut" choice!
Ingredients
- Watermelon, seedless
- Sour cream or tofu version of sour cream
- Sugar to taste (or stevia or other sweetener if preferred)
- Vanilla extract/essence to taste
- Slivered almonds; some toasted for top layer of the "donuts"
Steps
- Cut out donut shapes from seedless watermelon. Make 1 1/2-inch (3cm) thick round slices of watermelon with a hole shape cut from the middle part.
- Sweeten the sour cream by stirring in the sugar. To lighten it even more, add a touch of Make a Vanilla Scent Using Extract (essence) to taste.
- Frost half of each watermelon donut slice. Then sprinkle this slice with the slivered almonds.
- Add another layer of a watermelon donut slice to the first slice. Again, top this with the sweetened sour cream.
- Sprinkle the top layer with toasted slivered almonds.
- Serve.
Tips
- Vanilla yogurt could also be used instead of sour cream.
- Dip each melon in melted chocolate, refrigerate, and you have a chocolate covered watermelon donut. Too more-ish!
- For one variation, try adding chocolate pudding on one side, and cover with the watermelon for a delicious treat for chocolate lovers.
- Mix strawberries and sour cream, and add that between the donuts.
- Note that the center fruit doesn't have to be a watermelon – other forms of fruit such as pineapple, kiwifruit, etc., could also be used.
Warnings
- If you're allergic to nuts, skip the almonds and perhaps use sprinkles, chocolate pecans, or some other sweet and safe ingredient.
