Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 whole watermelon, preferably seedless
- 3 cups coconut yoghurt
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 60mL maple syrup
- 1 tbsp lime zest
- Shredded coconut & lime slices, to garnish
Method
- Slice sides and ends of watermelon to make square shape at desired size. Trim off any remaining rind. Slice watermelon horizontally into 3 even slices, to form cake layers. Wrap each piece in paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Set aside for 10 mins.
- Whisk together coconut yoghurt, vanilla, maple syrup and lime zest to form smooth “icing”.
- Place one square slice of watermelon on serving platter and spread with one-third of icing. Place another square of watermelon on top and spread with another third of icing. Add last square and spread remaining icing on top. Garnish with coconut and lime.
- Slice as you would regular cake, but be careful as it has a tendency to slide around. Enjoy.
