How to Make Cupcakes with Watermelon

Celebrate a party with a healthy snack. Enjoy this anytime,and for any occasion. Enhance the cupcake with a topping of whipped cream and a cherry. Add some sprinkles and set it on the table ready to be enjoyed by all.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 8 cupcake liners
• 2 cups pineapple cream cheese frosting
• 8 cupcake shaped pieces of seedless watermelon
• Sprinkles for garnish

1. Place the liners in an 8-cup cup cake tin. This will save washing the tins. It also will help hold the cup cake to make it easier to eat.

2. Cut 3-inch thick slices of seedless watermelon. You can cut them thinner if you prefer. This is only a suggested slice, three (one inch slices) will do just as well.

3. Cut round cup cake sized pieces from each of the slices. Use a knife or a thin edged cup to cut them round.

4. Put a watermelon ‘cup cake' in each liner. Add a dollop of frosting on each cup cake. Decorate as desired with sprinkles. Decorate as desired with sprinkles. Serves 8.

Tips & Warnings

• Make ahead of time, and keep chilled in the refrigerator until ready to place on the table.
• Put a slice of pound cake into each liner. Add the 'cup cake' watermelon slice on top and then add the whipped cream.
• Place cut up fresh fruits on a small plate and in the center of the plate add the watermelon cup cake.
