Watermelon Desserts
It’s time for a watermelon dessert extravaganza! As a self-proclaimed lover of all things sweet and summery, I’ve scoured the culinary landscape to bring you the ultimate collection of mouthwatering watermelon treats. From simple snacks to show-stopping sweets, this roundup has something for everyone, whether you’re a seasoned chef or a kitchen newbie.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Watermelon: Opt for a ripe watermelon for the best flavor and sweetness. Look for one that feels heavy for its size, has a uniform shape, and has a creamy yellow spot on its underside, indicating it’s ripe.
- Keep it Chilled: Watermelon desserts are at their best when served chilled. Chill your watermelon in the fridge before using it in desserts, and store any prepared desserts in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
- Don’t Waste the Rind: The watermelon rind is entirely edible and can be used in creative ways. Pickle it for a tangy snack, blend it into smoothies for added nutrition, or turn it into a sweet candied treat.
