Ingredients
- 1 whole watermelon for a large cake or ½ watermelon for a small cake
- 1 to 2 (8 ounce each) tub Cool Whip or Cool Whip light
- fresh berries and nuts for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the ends off of the watermelon so it can stand upright.
- Using a sharp knife, trim off the rind. Finally, trim around the watermelon to give it a "cake" shape.
- Once cut, use paper towels to completely dab the watermelon dry. You don't need to squeeze it but the surface should be as dry as possible.
- Frost the watermelon with the dessert topping using an offset spatula.
- Use berries or topping of your choice to decorate the cake.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Note: Using Cool Whip or Cool Whip Light, stayed nicely on the watermelon even after a couple of days!
- The amount of whipped topping needed will vary based on the size of the watermelon.
- To serve, cut the 'cake' into wedges.
- We attempted several ways to make a layer cake and it hold up well.
- Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
