- 280 Calories per Serving
A cake that requires no baking! A fun summer activity for children. You can chill this for a couple hours before serving, but for best results, consume cake the same day you make it.
Ingredient List
- 1 small, red, seedless watermelon (about 10 pounds)
- 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 2 cups Mountain High® original or lowfat vanilla yoghurt
- 1 pint strawberries
- 1/2 pint blueberries
- 1/2 pint raspberries
Preparation
- Wash and dry the uncut watermelon. Cut the narrow ends off the watermelon and slice off the rind and discard. Slice watermelon into two-inch rounds. Select three rounds from the middle which are closest to the same diameter. Set aside the remaining watermelon.
- Place one watermelon round flat on cutting board and place a small plate about 7 inches in diameter over the melon. Use the plate as a template to trim the melon into a perfect circle. Repeat with the remaining two rounds. Gently pat the rounds dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, fold whipped topping into yoghurt until blended. Place one watermelon round on a cake serving platter and top it with about 1 cup of the yoghurt mixture. Spread evenly over the top of the melon. Top with another layer of watermelon and spread with about 1 cup of the yoghurt mixture. Top with third layer of watermelon; spread remaining yoghurt over top and sides of “cake”.
- Slice strawberries and place along the base of the cake. Decorate the top with the raspberries and blueberries. Serve immediately or chill for a couple hours before slicing and serving. Store in refrigerator.
